Ironing out carbon - One mans solution to carbon sequestration

"Ironing" of carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide plays an important role in the atmosphere. This gas maintains the heat and holds it, so it has the property of warming the earth (EIA, 2004). Carbon dioxide is the main component of carbon dioxide, a molecule indispensable to life and is the most fundamental structural unit of all organic compounds. Human activity is caused by the destruction of the natural carbon cycle of the earth, and according to some studies carbon is added to the atmosphere faster than the natural process of isolating it.

First of all it is advisable to investigate the advantages and limitations of various solutions to carbon dioxide sequestration (for example by planting forests and cutting forests from chimneys). Along with delays in emission reductions, people are increasingly discussing storage as a necessary reverse reaction. Is such a large-scale storage really realizable? how is it? What is uncertainty?

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or carbon capture storage or carbon management storage) collects waste carbon dioxide (CO 2) from large-scale sources such as fossil fuel power plants, transports them to a storage location and stores them It is a process to do. Where it is not fancy, it is usually underground strata. The goal is to prevent the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (power generation and fossil fuels from other industries). It is a potential means to reduce the contribution of fossil fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification. Carbon dioxide has been injected into the strata for various purposes, including improved oil recovery, but long-term storage of carbon dioxide is a relatively new concept. The first commercial example was the 2000 Weyburn-Midale CO2 project. Another example is SaskPower's border dam

Carbon storage (storage) mainly occurs in forests and soil through the natural process of photosynthesis. The transfer of carbon to trees and soil is part of the planet's global carbon cycle. Forests and coral reefs have large carbon pools useful for global climate adjustment.

Soil carbon sequestration is the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in a soil carbon pool. This process is mainly mediated by plants through photosynthesis and carbon is stored in the form of SOC. In dry and semi-dry climates, soil carbon sequestration in the air in the soil where carbon dioxide is converted to inorganic forms such as secondary carbonate may also occur, but the inorganic carbon formation rate is relatively low ( Lal 2008). Since the Industrial Revolution, the transition from natural ecosystems to agricultural uses has brought SOC level consumption and has released 50 to 100 GT of carbon from the soil into the atmosphere (Lal, 2009). This is the result of reducing residue in the roots and soil of plants, increasing soil cultivation, and increasing soil erosion (Lemus & Lal 2005).
