In this article, I focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS), a controversial climate change mitigation technology that operates by collecting carbon dioxide from point sources and depositing it in underground
Carbon dioxide (or CO2) is a colourless and odourless naturally occurring gas in the earth’s atmosphere which is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. As a greenhouse gas (GHG), it traps heat, making sure the planet isn’t uninhabitably cold. However, fast rising levels of...
The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface. It produces at least half of the planet’s oxygen and absorbs around 30% of the carbon dioxide produced by humans. The sea is home to most of our biodiversity and 3 billion peop...
At the moment, we are adding carbon to the atmosphere faster than the natural processes can remove it. We are adding carbon in the form of in the form of CO2. That is why carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere are increasing, which is causing global warming (climate change). In ...
During a combustion process, there is an evolution of water and carbon dioxide gas as primary products. Their amounts are computed using stoichiometry. The exact amounts are determined by first calculating mole or stoichiometric ratios.Answer and Explanation: ...
However, natural weathering happens too slowly to balance our current carbon dioxide emissions. With enhanced mineralization, new techniques are accelerating this natural process. This is accomplished by taking large amounts of crushed-up minerals, such as olivine and basalt, and spreading them onto ...
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of {eq}8.70 \times 10^{-3} {/eq} grams of methane? Combustion Reactions A combustion reaction is a reaction that occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen gas very quickly. The products of...
Carbon dioxide is a natural greenhouse gas, commonly produced by the air we exhale. At higher levels, CO2 affects productivity, sleep and infectious disease transmission. Learn more on CO2 health effects, safe CO2 levels, and ways to reduce CO2.
