14.2.1. STEPS

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is carbon capture?

   Hint

   Think about how we might stop carbon from entering the atmosphere.

2. 2.

   Name one method used to transport CO2.

   Hint

   Consider the infrastructure involved in moving gases.

3. 3.

   What is the purpose of carbon capture?

   • To emit more carbon
   • To reduce atmospheric CO2
   • To increase oil production
   • To cool the atmosphere

   Hint

   Think about why society would want to capture carbon.

4. 4.

   True or False: Ocean storage of CO2 is considered completely safe.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the potential effects on marine ecosystems.

5. 5.

   Evaluate the economic implications of investing in carbon capture versus other renewable energy technologies. Consider both immediate costs and long-term benefits.

   Hint

   Think about the lifecycle costs and benefits for both technologies.

6. 6.

   Analyze the potential environmental consequences of oceanic versus geological carbon storage, providing specific examples.

   Hint

   Consider which storage options align better with environmental protections.
