Sentences with phrase «uptake of carbon capture»

It would also need widespread uptake of carbon capture and storage, which is far from a commercial reality.

Not exact matches

OCO - 2 will also closely monitor the carbon uptake of plants by measuring the weak fluorescence that is produced during photosynthesis as plants» chlorophyll pigments absorb light to capture energy and subsequently re-emit photons at longer wavelengths.

Complete restoration of deforested areas is unrealistic, yet 100 GtC carbon drawdown is conceivable because: (1) the human - enhanced atmospheric CO2 level increases carbon uptake by some vegetation and soils, (2) improved agricultural practices can convert agriculture from a CO2 ource into a CO2 sink [174], (3) biomass - burning power plants with CO2 capture and storage can contribute to CO2 drawdown.

This may reflect the nature of the carbon cycle, where changes in storage reflect small difference between large and opposing flows of uptake and release, allowing models considerable freedom as to how to capture that small difference.

Complete restoration of deforested areas is unrealistic, yet 100 GtC carbon drawdown is conceivable because: (1) the human - enhanced atmospheric CO2 level increases carbon uptake by some vegetation and soils, (2) improved agricultural practices can convert agriculture from a CO2 ource into a CO2 sink [174], (3) biomass - burning power plants with CO2 capture and storage can contribute to CO2 drawdown.

This chapter addresses the energy - supply sector and analyses the cost and potential of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation from the uptake of low - and zero - carbon - emitting technologies (including carbon capture and storage) over the course of the next two to three decades.
