Not exact matches

Even with innovation and scaling up, we may at some point have to deploy «direct - air capture» technology, which pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Nevertheless, either carbon capture and storage will have to be developed and deployed or low - emission electricity sources, such as wind, solar and nuclear power, will have to grow significantly.

The United States has many promising options for obtaining new supplies of electricity and changing its supply mix during the next two to three decades, especially if carbon capture and storage and evolutionary nuclear technologies can be deployed at required scales.

The model showed this scenario to be at the «limits of feasibility», with many of the model runs limited by the difficulty of rapidly deploying low - carbon technologies, such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), in the near term.

For the past decade, governments and utilities have been looking at how carbon capture technologies might be deployed to reduce emission of greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, while enabling low - carbon electricity generation.

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.

The limits are so low, in fact, that they essentially require new coal plants to be built with a technology that has yet to be deployed in the power industry: carbon capture and sequestration.

Improving energy efficiency and switching to alternative fuels, in combination with reducing the clinker content in cement and deploying emerging and innovative technologies like carbon capture and the use of alternative binding materials are the main carbon - mitigation methods available in cement manufacturing.

When breakthrough technologies for the capture and storage of carbon dioxide are commercially deployed and demonstrated to be effective, coal - fired electricity will strengthen its leading role in new electricity generation both in the United States and, perhaps more importantly, around the globe — especially in regions that desperately need a secure and plentiful source of affordable electricity.»

Like the fact that mercury emissions from coal fired - power plants continues to rise and that carbon capture and storage remains an elusive pipe dream that will take another 40 years to deploy on a commercial scale.

Carbon capture could reduce emissions from the electricity sector as well, but since it will raise the cost of producing power, the technology will not be widely deployed until other nations adopt similar carbon prices.

The basic technology is not new, said Ian Yeates, who heads the carbon capture division at SaskPower, a Canadian firm which will deploy its own version of carbon capture later this year.

-- Fifty percent of the funds raised under this section shall be provided in the form of grants to electric utilities that had, prior to the award of any grant under this section, committed resources to deploy a large scale electricity generation unit with integrated carbon capture and sequestration or conversion applied to a substantial portion of the unit's carbon dioxide emissions.

It is also possible that mitigation techniques deployed under JCM will expand to include critical technologies such as innovations in carbon, capture, and storage.

The USGS report did not evaluate the economic viability of geologic carbon sequestration, but the cost of deploying these types of capture and storage technologies could be one of the main barriers to actually employing this strategy.

If carbon capture and storage «is not widely deployed in the 2020s,» the International Energy Agency said last year, «an extraordinary burden would rest on other low - carbon technologies to deliver lower emissions in line with global climate objectives.»

These range from weatherizing 600,000 homes to deploying 20,000 electric vehicle charging stations; from implementing the smart grid to capturing and storing carbon emissions; from restarting the nuclear power industry to investing in solar energy manufacturing, wind turbine reliability, and biofuels technologies.

As the International Energy Agency warned, â $ œno more than one - third of proven reserves of fossil fuels can be consumed prior to 2050â $ â $» unless carbon capture and storage technology is widely deployed â $» otherwise weâ $ ™ ll bust through the limit of a 2 degree Celsius rise in average temperature that climate scientists believe will unleash truly disruptive ice melt, sea level rise and weather extremes.

Achieving that goal will be more than twice as hard as staying below 2 C and it would involve making sharp adjustments to rich - country lifestyles, large amounts of foreign aid and deploying carbon dioxide removal measures like bioenergy carbon capture and storage on a massive scale.
