Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) techniques

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)—known as CCS—has attracted interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground or prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO 2 , such as electricity-gener...

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS): A Primer

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)—known as CCS—has attracted congressional interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground and prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO 2 , such as el...

Biorefineries of carbon dioxide: From carbon capture and storage (CCS) to bioenergies production.

Greenhouse gas emissions have several adverse environmental effects, like pollution and climate change. Currently applied carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods are not cost effective and have not been proven safe for long term sequestration. Another attractive approach is CO2 valorization, whereby CO2 can be captured in the form of biomass via photosynthesis and is subsequently converted int...

Carbon dioxide capture and storage \(CCS\) – liability for non-permanence under the UNFCCC

Prior to CoP 10, our discussion paper “On the Integration of Carbon Capture and Storage into the International Climate Regime” argued that carbon capture and storage (CCS) was similar to carbon sequestration in the area of Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). This was criticized by several readers who observed that treating CCS as a removal activity (sink) would not be compatible wi...
