Describe how carbon capture and storage may reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power stations.

In the subtopic The carbon footprint and its reduction, this learning objective focuses on describe how carbon capture and storage may reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power stations. Within Carbon dioxide and methane as greenhouse gases, students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact. Approved keywords for this objective include carbon capture. carbon capture means a technology that captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power stations to prevent them from entering the atmosphere. Avoid students often think that carbon capture and storage completely eliminates carbon dioxide emissions from power stations; instead clarify that carbon capture and storage reduces emissions but does not eliminate them entirely; it captures a portion of CO2 for storage. For exam answers, focus on how carbon capture and storage (CCS) works to reduce CO2 emissions from power stations. Be prepared to explain the process and its benefits.
