Arrange the following steps of CCS in the correct sequence:
(1) Transporting Captured CO2
(2) Storing CO2 Away from the Atmosphere
(3) Trapping and Separating CO2
Match the following trapping mechanisms with their descriptions:
Statement 1: Green carbon is stored in plants and soil through photosynthesis.
Statement 2: Blue carbon is primarily found in coastal, aquatic, and marine environments.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Assertion: Protecting and restoring blue carbon ecosystems is vital in combating climate change.
Reason: These ecosystems, such as mangroves and tidal marshes, store significant amounts of carbon and prevent its release back into the atmosphere.
Statement 1: A carbon credit represents the right to emit one ton of carbon or its equivalent gases.
Statement 2: Earning a carbon credit is a reward for reducing emissions below the allowable limit.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Statement 1: Carbon offsetting can result in significant emission reductions for businesses.
Statement 2: Additional benefits include job creation and community development programs at the project site.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Statement 1: A carbon tax provides predictability for energy prices, encouraging clean energy investment.
Statement 2: The 'cap and trade' system is quicker to implement and simpler to understand than a carbon tax.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Which of the following is NOT a method of geoengineering proposed to combat global warming?
