Not exact matches

Deploying new sensors that drift with sometimes strong currents (allowing better measurement of marine snow than sensors placed on the ocean floor or tethered to the surface), the team sampled the flora and fauna and measured the amount of falling carbon material captured to assess the role of the ocean as a true carbon sink.

But carbon capture and storage will play a key role as coal continues to supply a significant portion of world energy supply and, unfortunately, it has yet to be demonstrated on any power plant anywhere.

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.

Mindful of the important role of a range of alternative energy technologies, we recognize, in particular, the need for research, development, and large - scale demonstration of and cooperation on carbon capture and storage.

· Thursday, Dec. 10: New Energy Future: the role of public lands in clean energy production and carbon capture, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar

While many have included an important role for coal in providing energy in the future, almost all of them have connected it to reduced carbon emissions through increased efficiency or carbon capture and sequestration (ccs).

These types of demonstration projects are critical to determining the potential role that carbon capture and storage technology can play in curbing global warming emissions from coal.

Carbon and Other Biochemical Cycles: On the headline statement in this section, Brazil insisted on nuancing the relative contribution of land - use change to the increase of CO2 concentrations, and including reference to the role of forests as sinks, with Venezuela proposing to refer to the net balance between emissions and carbon capture by land systems.

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.»

While they all play a role in advancing a carbon capture sector that will be vital to global climate efforts, they're being used in a number of different ways.

IEA and China host high - level gathering of energy ministers and industry leaders to affirm the importance of carbon capture Discussion centred on the vital role of CCUS in reducing carbon dioxide emissions while ensuring energy security 6 June 2017

It's worth noting that despite the significant role for CCS in its scenarios, the IEA says under a 2C or higher path: «Coal - fired power plants with CCS become too carbon intensive at a certain point, since 10 - 15 % of their emissions are not captured.»

Healthy forests play a key role in global ecosystems as they contain much of the terrestrial biodiversity on the planet and act as a net sink for capturing atmospheric carbon.

Ultimately, such studies will lead to a complete understanding of how atmospheric carbon dioxide is captured and transformed by ocean surfaces, a crucial role in the carbon cycle.

There are various types of technologies that can play significant roles in mitigating climate change, including energy efficiency improvements throughout the energy system (especially at the end use side); solar, wind, nuclear fission and fusion and geothermal, biomass and clean fossil technologies, including carbon capture and storage; energy from waste; hydrogen production from non-fossil energy sources and fuel cells (Pacala and Socolow, 2004; IEA, 2006b).

In three out of the four scenarios, carbon capture an storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in helping China develop within a carbon budget... By 2050, CCS will have to be installed to 80 - 90 % of fossil fuelled power plants in scenarios S3 and S4.
