CCS and Mitigating Climate Change Maxer

Front

What is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)?

Back

A technology that captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants and stores it underground to prevent it from entering the atmosphere.

Front

What is the primary gas managed by CCS systems?

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Front

What is the final step in the CCS process?

Back

Engineers monitor the stored CO₂.

Front

Why is it important to address climate change?

Back

To prevent rising sea levels and extreme weather events.

Front

Which sectors are major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions?

Back

Transportation and Electricity.

Front

What happens to CO₂ after it is captured in a CCS system?

Back

It is pumped underground into rock formations.

Front

What is the role of engineers in the CCS process?

Back

To monitor the stored CO₂ to ensure it does not leak.

Front

What are some potential environmental impacts of climate change?

Back

Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and loss of biodiversity.

Front

How does CCS help mitigate climate change?

Back

By reducing the amount of CO₂ released into the atmosphere.

Front

What is one method of storing captured CO₂?

Back

Pumping it into geological formations underground.
