While known for its abbreviated form, BECCS stands for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage. Quite literally in its name, BECCS is a biological form of carbon sequestration that depends on two types of technologies: biomass conversions and carbon emissions from the bioenergy conversion process.   To sum up the entire process, a set of land […]

Through small reactions such as rain falling on rocks, tiny amounts of carbon dioxide are being removed naturally. Geologists and scientists have discovered this as a method of carbon sequestration, and they are looking into the possibilities of implementing this through large-scale operations. While this is a method to be considered, there are questions of […]

There are many methods and solutions being proposed on how carbon dioxide can be efficiently and properly sequestered from our atmosphere, and there is an extremely simple way to go about this: planting more trees! Forestation is the broad term for describing the process of growing forests on barren land. There are other types of […]

In Iceland, the first large-scale direct air capture unit was built – the ORCA by Climeworks. This storage plant was able to realize the goals of making direct air capture and storage. Annually, the ORCA removes about 4,400 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – which equates to the total emissions of about 870 […]

While listening to a podcast the other day, I came across a topic that was quite surprising – the idea that seagrass, a random plant in the ocean, is helping us with our fight against climate change. Seagrass is a plant that grows in meadows underwater and they’re often found in reserved locations. Seagrasses provide […]

Global warming and climate change have been an issue that has been around for quite some time, and it has been seen that most of it is due to human causes. Economists and environmentalists have been looking at patterns and trying to find a solution, but there will always be some sort of consequence that […]
