Lifetime of carbon capture and storage as a climate-change mitigation technology.
In carbon capture and storage (CCS), CO(2) is captured at power plants and then injected underground into reservoirs like deep saline aquifers for long-term storage. While CCS may be critical for the continued use of fossil fuels in a carbon-constrained world, the deployment of CCS has been hindered by uncertainty in geologic storage capacities and sustainable injection rates, which has contrib...
متن کاملCarbon Capture and Storage: Science and Technology Focus for Mitigation of Climate Change
Global warming is attributed to increasing greenhouse gas emissions and mounting concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. Since the middle of the 19th century, increasing worldwide anthropogenic activity is said to have given rise to a steady increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is corroborated by direct measurement of CO2 concentrations at Mauna Loa Lab...
متن کاملCarbon Storage and Bioenergy: Using Forests for Climate Mitigation
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of forestland to reach an aggressive global mitigation target. The analysis confirms that using both opti...
متن کاملThe potential of soil organic carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation and food security
SOC sequestration on cropland and grassland is an important mitigation option with potentially significant cobenefits for food security. At a carbon price of 20 $/tCO2eq, Paustian et al. (2016) identified a technical mitigation potential of 3-8 GtCO2eq/yr related to improved cropland and grassland management, biochar application, enhanced root phenotypes, and restoration of degraded lands and o...
متن کاملClimate-Change Mitigation Potential of Biochar: A Review and Framework for Carbon Accounting
Climate change presents one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. The anthropogenic emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases are widely considered to be the primary driver of global warming and climate change. Climate change mitigation strategies are being considered and implemented by government and non-government organizations worldwide. One practice that has attracted attention as a...
