Energy 101: Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

March 30, 2011,
12:45pm - 1:45pm

This Energy 101 talk will present the basic technical concepts behind Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), a process by which CO2 emissions from fossil fuel utilization can be avoided by separating -or "capturing"- this gas from the emitting source and permanently storing it underground. Emphasis will be placed on the fuel utilization and capture processes prior to CO2 storage.
