Carbon Capture and Storage, 2008

The U.S. Department of Energy is researching the safe implementation of a technology called carbon sequestration, also known as carbon capture and storage, or CCS. Based on an oilfield practice, this approach stores carbon dioxide, or CO2 generated from human activities for millennia as a means to mitigate global climate change. In 2003, the Department of Energys National Energy Technology Laboratory formed seven Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships to assess geologic formations suitable for storage and to determine the best approaches to implement carbon sequestration in each region. This video describes the work of these partnerships.

CCS is agreat idea to waste taxpayers money. It has to be implanted urgently to rise the money of the oil and coal companies. Remember: You need one third more on engergy to realize CCS. So the coal minings can nearly double their profits.

Sequestered carbon can be stored at ocean floor.

I`m working in same sense, but with conservative agriculture and forestry, increasing carbon in soil. In colombian rural areas, money is always wellcome and spend money with us in capturing CO2 it`s a good idea.
