Sentences with phrase «storage out of the atmosphere»

Perhaps, too, carbon credits could increase in value with increased longevity of the carbon storage out of the atmosphere?

Not exact matches

One approach that is gaining currency among environmental scientists is carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS), a form of carbon sequestration in which CO2 is removed from the waste gas of power plants, typically by absorbing it in a liquid, and subsequently burying it deep underground, hence keeping the gas out of the atmosphere.

«The more we can prolong the storage of wood products in human structures, the longer the carbon is kept out of the atmosphere.

As long as rapid continental weathering continued, carbonate was deposited on the oceanic crust and subducted into what Lowe calls «a big storage facility... that kept most of the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.»

However, when trapped in fossil fuels, it is essentially taken out of the cycle because storage is so long relative to the speed that carbon is cycled between biota and atmosphere.

To return to the crisis, if we really want to give 9 billion 250 KWHr each every day of their lives for the full techno - lifestyle indefinitely and leave the atmosphere entirely out of it, we need to build about 1 million square kilometers, 100 square meters per person, of advanced solar cells combined with a variety of energy storage and long distance transmission means.

of anthropogenic CO2 releases that have been taken out of the atmosphere (over and above the amount taken out of the atmosphere that balances the natural additions to the atmosphere), perhaps mainly as a direct biogeochemical feedback (increased CO2 favoring more rapid biological fixation of C, net flux of CO2 into water until equilibrium for the given storage of other involved chemical species in the upper ocean) fairly promptly.

Also point out that in excess of 99.5 % of the atmosphere is completely transparent to IR and might as well not be there at all, except that it acts as a heat storage medium after IR absorption by CO2 (H2O, CH4, etc) and subsequent relaxation through collision with the O2 and N2 molecules of that medium.

Delaying action to curtail greenhouse gases through 2030 would reduce options to stabilize the gases, require much more rapid scale - up of low - carbon technologies and rely more on techniques that take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, such as combining burning biomass with carbon capture and storage, the researchers wrote.

Over the 5 long term, this warming conforms to a complex trend that can be simplified as a monotonic curve, but the actual pathway is steplike... this rules out gradual warming, either in situ in the atmosphere or as gradual release from the ocean, in favour of a more abrupt process of storage and release.

By the law of conservation of energy — the average unit energy in (EIN / s) at the top of atmosphere (TOA) in a period less the average unit energy out (EOUT / s) is equal to the rate of change (d (GES) / dt) in global energy storage (GES).

Negative emissions can refer to carbon capture and storage technology powered by biomass, geo - engineering of the atmosphere and oceans, or CO2 removal that sucks emissions out of the air.

The 10 million tons of CO2 placed in underground storage by the US CCS demonstration programs demonstrates that we can put CO2 out of reach of the atmosphere, a critical requirement for any carbon dioxide removal method.

BECSS — Bioenergy and CCS One of the cheaper ways to take carbon out of the atmosphere is to combine bioenergy and carbon capture and storage.

The more we can prolong the storage of wood products in human structures, the longer the carbon is kept out of the atmosphere.

The interactive has the ability to include Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) approaches, which would pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and into soils and storage via a possible set of activities, including bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, agricultural soil carbon, biochar, mineralization, afforestation, and direct air capture.

The results suggest that 1.5 C is achievable if global emissions peak in the next few years and massive amounts of carbon are sucked out of the atmosphere in the second half of the century through a proposed technology known as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

If some advanced form of carbon capture and storage were available, removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere could be as straightforward as having a bit of a tidy - up and hiding away all the unwanted rubbish out of harm's way.
