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
Polar meteorology used to measure conditions in polar areas. The atmospheric portion of the hydrological cycle in polar regions plays an important role in that: Carbon dioxide (C02) is of particular interest in polar meteorology because it affects the melting of sea ice. Human activity releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from burning oil, coal and natural gas. A dozen pounds of Arctic sea ice disappears for every pound of carbon dioxide released. This highlights the heating power of carbon dioxide, which pumps 100,000 times more energy into our climate than was given off when the oil, coal or natural gas was
