Carbon capture includes a variety of methods for removing carbon dioxide from the emissions of industrial sources such as power plants, refineries, ethanol plants and other industrial facilities in order to help stabilize atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Carbon sequestration is the term used to describe a broad class of technologies that are just now being researched and developed for capturing and permanently sequestering, or storing, carbon dioxide. Once the carbon dioxide has been captured, it could possibly be stored safely in deep underground geologic formations (geologic sequestration). We have proposed studying the capture and sequestration of a portion of the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions.Carbon capture includes a variety of methods for removing carbon dioxide from the emissions of industrial sources such as power plants, refineries, ethanol plants and other industrial facilities in order to help stabilize atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide.
