CCS, in which
power plants trap carbon
from flue gases and bury it
underground, would be the only way to bring
emissions to zero, Allen of Oxford said.
Advocates and opponents of capturing CO2
emissions from power plants and storing them
underground agree on at least one thing: doing it will not be cheap.
For the first time, carbon dioxide
emissions from an electric
power plant have been captured, pumped
underground and solidified — the first step toward safe carbon capture and storage, according to a paper published Thursday in the journal Science.
Third, new technologies, such as
underground coal gasification and especially carbon capture and storage, can — if given substantial financial support — reduce
emissions substantially
from coal use in
power plants and industrial facilities.
CCS is a technology that allows reduction of fossil fuel
emissions by capturing CO2
from large emitters (such as coal or gas
power plants and the steel industry) and storing it
underground.
These «CCS» systems work by capturing greenhouse gases emitted
from a
power plant's smokestack and then piping them to empty
underground reservoirs, where the
emissions are injected for long term storage.
How do you feel about the idea of burying carbon dioxide
underground near you, to cut
emissions of the greenhouse gas
