To those concerned about emissions, it emphasized that the 400, 000-barrel-a-day refinery, plus an integrated gasification combined cycle plant, could sequester carbon more cheaply than a coal plant.
We know how to sequester carbon dioxide during this process.
The bill also sets rules for building more natural-gas storage (as imports replace dwindling domestic supplies) and for developing technology to capture and sequester carbon emissions from fossil-fuel plants.
ECONOMIST: Nuclear power: The wind, the sun—and the atom | The
The Systems Biology Knowledgebase or KBase will allow scientists to predict the effect of microbes on their communities and if they can clean-up contaminated environments or sequester carbon on land, for example.
Ms. KING: But to those that do understand that it is a problem, I would say this bill would preserve a large carbon sink, a place that would protect and sequester carbon which, by the way, turns into money for the taxpayers because we can sell that - those points, I think, if we need to.
Total carbon deposits per square kilometer in these coastal systems may be up to five times the carbon stored in tropical forests, due to their ability to absorb, or sequester, carbon at rates up to 50 times those of the same area of tropical forest.
But with a cap-and-trade system looming, they'll invest in ways to burn it cleaner and to sequester the carbon emissions from power plants.
According to a life-cycle analysis, the land-based crops all were found to sequester more carbon than that incurred in growing them, while the contrary was true for growing algae, meaning that replacing fossil fuels by algal fuels could cause an overall increase in carbon emissions.
FORBES: Report Says Algal Biofuels May Not Cut Carbon Emissions, But Read More Closely
It would also get an economic boost from any legislation taxing or capping carbon emissions coming from competing power plants that don't sequester.
Siemens and Shell, for example, have just announced a new fuel-cell technology for oil rigs that will capture emissions of carbon dioxide and methane, generate power from them cleanly, and sequester the exhaust.
Mr. CHRIS BASKIND: Everything seems to be being reduced to how much carbon dioxide am I producing, or what kind of greenhouse gases we should be finding a way to sequester.
