The Case for Carbon Capture and Sequestration

Program Overview

This basic-level program provides a comprehensive overview of Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS), a key element in the world's clean energy strategies. It explores how CCS plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change, reducing carbon emissions, and aligning with the evolving energy economy.

Program Outline

Outline:

• Define Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
• Explain why CCS is part of the world’s clean energy portfolio
• Explain how carbon emissions impact climate through the carbon cycle and greenhouse effect
• Describe how CCS helps to mitigate the effects of CO2 emissions in Earth’s atmosphere
• Identify the elements of a CCS project
• Identify CCS as a method of reducing carbon emissions with the potential to reduce climate change
• Explain the difference between CCS and CCUS
• Explain how CCS aligns with today’s energy economy
• Recognize CCS as one of several key solutions in the world’s emerging clean energy portfolio
