Carbon capture and storage in Australia Carbon capture and storage in Australia Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an approach to try to mitigate global warming by capturing carbon dioxide from large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants and storing it instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage is also used to sequester filtered out of natural gas from certain from natural gas fields. While typically the has no value after being stored, Enhanced Oil Recovery uses to increase yield from declining oil fields. There are no currently-operating large-scale CCS projects in Australia, although the Gorgon gas project will qualify
Carbon dioxide equivalent of carbon dioxide. Equivalent (e) is the concentration of that would cause the same level of radiative forcing as a given type and concentration of greenhouse gas. Examples of such greenhouse gases are methane, perfluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide. e is expressed as parts per million by volume, ppmv. Carbon dioxide equivalent Carbon dioxide equivalent (CDE) and equivalent carbon dioxide (e and eq) are two related but distinct measures for describing how much global warming a given type and amount of greenhouse gas may cause, using the functionally equivalent amount or concentration of carbon dioxide () as the reference.
