Question

What is carbon capture and storage (CCS)?

1 a process to further limit carbon dioxide emissions from burning coal
2 a process using high pressure to obtain hydrocarbons from shale rock
3 a method for storing fossil fuels that prevents leakage into the environment
4 a new technology for mining coal that reduces the amount of coal dust produced

Answer 1

2 a process using high pressure to obtain hydrocarbons from shale rock

Answer 2

The correct answer is "1".

Carbon Capture and Storage is a process of capturing carbon dioxide from a source, then transporting it to a storage site where it will not enter the atmosphere. Sources of Carbon Dioxide include carbon, petroleum, and biomass. The purpose is to mitigate Carbon Dioxide emissions from large industrial producers that could potentially unbalance the percentage of the component in the atmosphere, causing hazardous consequences on people.
