Carbon Capture

http://sequestration.mit.edu/

This site gives a great overview of the carbon capture and storage technology from the world renowned MIT. It provides a list of current projects that are using carbon capture and storage. It also includes a list and map of areas that are proposed carbon capture and storage sites.

This site gives a great introduction to the carbon capture and technology behind it. It explains the different methods used in the technology. Also it explains why we need to implement this technology into our society.

This site explains carbon capture and storage with great understanding. It begins by teaching the process and then explains the different methods that we have to do this. It also provides transporting concerns and methods for the carbon once it is captured.

This page has a really interesting way of portraying information, in which it gives you an overview of the topic and then enables you to click on details tab and learn more about the topic. It answers many questions about carbon storage doing this efficiently.

Articles:

Schiermeier, Quirin. "Putting the Carbon Back: The Hundred Billion Tonne Challenge." Nature 442.7103 (2006): 620-23.

The article from nature journal compares how the use of carbon capture has worked for European towns, such as Ketzin, Germany in which there is a carbon capture plant is being used. It analyzes the effects of the technology and then gives a cost analysis of using the technology.

Jones, Nicola. "Climate Crunch: Sucking It up." Nature 458.7242 (2009): 1094-097.

The article explains the need for the use if carbon capture in the world and shows a useful graph of what each countries carbon emissions are in the world. It offers the idea that has been proposed and has no technological reality currently, in which we could use “brooms” that would act like filters in the atmosphere to capture carbon dioxide.

Figures:

meic.org, shows different ways in which we can use the technology of carbon capture.

wri.org, exhibits a useful diagram that shows how the technology is used, and what depths we would be storing the excess carbon in the atmosphere in the ground.
