Sentences with phrase «consequences for carbon capture»

Not exact matches

In the face of mounting support for clean coal and the billions being invested in carbon capture and storage, or C.C.S., technology, a new assessment from the University of Toronto's Munk Center for International Studies has a stern warning for policy - makers: there could be dramatic unintended environmental consequences to sequestering huge amounts of carbon dioxide in the earth's mantle.

Those few that have been proposed (carbon capture and sequestration for all new coal - fired power plants, geo - engineering schemes, switch to renewables such as wind and solar, etc.) would be extremely costly, could result in unknown and unintended negative consequences and would not bring any significant reduction of theoretical greenhouse warming by 2100.

One consequence of having to purchase CO2 instead of reusing it is the cost, of which some 80 % is due to transportation of the gas, and if breweries could capture and reuse some of their CO2 for use in carbonation and packaging, and then sell the rest to other industries, they could in essence be operating a self - sustaining CO2 cycle while also profiting from their excess carbon dioxide emissions.
