Carbon capture technology improves oil extraction

The video explains the process of capturing carbon dioxide from flume, a mix of gases from a coal plant, using a solvent. The CO2 is then released and pumped into an oilfield to enhance oil recovery by increasing the oil's viscosity. The CO2 is recycled to extract more oil, making the process efficient and sustainable.

What is the primary component of the flume released from the coal plant?

• Methane

• Carbon Dioxide

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

How is CO2 extracted from the solvent in the capture system?

• By adding pressure

• By reheating

• By reducing pressure

• By cooling

What effect does CO2 have when pumped into an oilfield?

• Evaporates the oil

• Increases oil viscosity

• Decreases oil viscosity

• Solidifies the oil

Where is the purified CO2 pumped after being released from the solvent?

• Into a forest

• Into the ocean

• Into a landfill

• Into an oilfield

What happens to the CO2 after it is separated from the oil mixture?

• It is converted into water

• It is sent back to extract more oil

• It is released into the atmosphere

• It is stored underground
