CCS and Mitigating Climate Change

What is one of the main reasons we need to address climate change?

• To protect outer space

• To cool the Earth completely

• Because it causes rising sea levels and extreme weather

• So we can use more fossil fuels

What gases are Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems designed to manage?

• Hydrogen

• Oxygen

• Water vapor

• Carbon dioxide

According to Lesson 7, which sectors are major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions?

• Technology and Media

• Sports and Tourism

• Transportation and Electricity

• Fashion and Retail

What happens after CO₂ is captured in a CCS system?

• It is released into the ocean

• It is turned into fuel

• It is pumped underground into rock formations

• It is stored in the clouds

Why is using hydrogen for transportation seen as a helpful climate solution?

• It powers cars with oil

• It reduces greenhouse gas emissions

• It increases fossil fuel use

• It is more expensive than gasoline

Which of the following is not a climate change mitigation strategy mentioned in Lesson 7?

• Using solar and wind power

• Generating electricity from fossil fuels

• Switching to hydrogen transportation

• Capturing CO₂ before it’s released

What is the final step in the CCS process as described in the workbook?

• CO₂ is burned to create energy

• Engineers monitor the stored CO₂

• CO₂ is released into the atmosphere

• CO₂ is turned into metal

What challenge is associated with implementing CCS on a large scale?

• It can’t be used in cold weather

• It causes hurricanes

• It requires modifying existing power plants

• It increases deforestation
