14.2. CARBON SEQUESTRATION or CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE or SCRUBBING OF CO₂

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is carbon sequestration?

   Hint

   Think about what we need to do to combat climate change.

2. 2.

   Name one method of carbon capture.

   Hint

   Consider what happens after burning fossil fuels.

3. 3.

   What does carbon sequestration primarily aim to do?

   • Generate energy
   • Store carbon dioxide
   • Reduce water usage

   Hint

   Think about the goals of carbon management.

4. 4.

   True or False: Pre-combustion capture occurs after the combustion of fossil fuels.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the sequence of events.

5. 5.

   Critically assess the potential of mineral storage in addressing climate change versus ocean storage.

   Hint

   Focus on permanence vs. feasibility of implementation.

6. 6.

   How might the implementation of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) affect public perception of carbon sequestration methods?

   Hint

   Consider how economic incentives can shape views on environmental strategies.
