Sentences with phrase «options for carbon capture»

Alternatives like engineered porous liquids could offer better options for carbon capture, a technology which may be essential to bridge the gap between increasing emissions of global warming gases and commitments to adopt alternative energy solutions to reduce these climate changing emissions.

These reports inevitably stray a little bit into policy areas, but they do a quite valuable job in summarizing things like technical options for carbon capture and sequestration, and of evaluating methodologies for policy decisions.

Not exact matches

The most promising of these options include renewable sources of a variety of types, advanced fossil - fuel technologies that can capture and sequester carbon, and hydrogen - powered fuel cells for vehicle propulsion and dispersed electricity generation.

Other higher - tech options include using chemicals to absorb CO2 from the air, or burning plants for energy and capturing the CO2 that would otherwise be released, then storing it permanently deep below the ground, called bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

Methods: One option for storing carbon dioxide is to capture the gas and inject it deep underground in porous rock formations.

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.

Dr. Depledge described signs of a shift in the oil kingdom's stance, including its endorsement of science pointing to big impacts from a building human influence on climate and commitment of money to pursue technologies for capturing carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels and other new energy options.

While ensuring the widespread deployment of carbon capture / storage technology does represent a significant challenge, it is more feasible than other policy options being offered by those who simply don't see any role for coal in our energy future.

All of our options for keeping warming below 2C above pre-industrial temperatures now involve capturing carbon dioxide and storing it underground — a technology that doesn't yet exist on a large scale, according to new research.

For carbon capture facilities near oilfields, the possibility of selling carbon dioxide for use in enhanced oil recovery — even at a lower credit rate — will likely yield higher returns than other types of carbon storage, making it an enticing optiFor carbon capture facilities near oilfields, the possibility of selling carbon dioxide for use in enhanced oil recovery — even at a lower credit rate — will likely yield higher returns than other types of carbon storage, making it an enticing optifor use in enhanced oil recovery — even at a lower credit rate — will likely yield higher returns than other types of carbon storage, making it an enticing option.

While the Climate Change pundits agree that energy efficiency and renewables are in the long term, «the most sustainable solutions both for security of supply and climate,» they argue that «global greenhouse gas emissions can not be reduced by at least 50 % by 2050, as they need to be, if we do not also use other options such as carbon capture and storage.»

The one other option for Earth would be increased carbon capture on land, during glacials.

Under the «new policies» scenario, the IEA says gas has a «very bright» outlook for the gas industry, particularly countries like Australia, the US and China, which have a lot of it to exploit, although the game plan relies on carbon capture being a serious and cost effective option by the mid 2020s.

This will be essential to distinguish sustainable and ethical options from the rest: for example, within BECCS, forest plantations that displace indigenous peoples to supply biomass power are unethical, yet adding carbon capture to existing pulp and paper production might be sustainable.

Options for mitigation of GHG emissions from industry fall into the following categories: energy efficiency, emissions efficiency (including fuel and feedstock switching, carbon dioxide capture and storage), material efficiency (for example through reduced yield losses in production), re ‐ use of materials and recycling of products, more intensive and longer use of products, and reduced demand for product services.

The other option for cooling the Earth would be sucking up - or «capturing» - the carbon dioxide clogging up the atmosphere.

The following statement captures the key principles that we have been advocating for a number of years, including an explanation for why we believe a revenue - neutral carbon tax is the best option to fulfill these key principles.
