Carbon Dioxide Defined

A colorless, odorless noncombustible gas with the formula CO2 that is present in the atmosphere. It is formed by the combustion of carbon and carbon compounds (such as fossil fuels and biomass) and by respiration, which is a slow combustion in animals and plants, and by the gradual oxidation of organic matter in the soil.

This definition is in context to Energy. See more contextual defintions for Carbon Dioxide.

  • Alternative energy | Sea green | Economist.com Using the Sea to Grow Biofuel: Mr Munford's proposal is to harvest the algae, rather than allowing them to die and sink. He notes that many species of algae pack a far denser punch energy-wise than the plants now used as energy crops. In particular, they produce oils of the sort valued as biodiesel, and are attracting a lot of attention from scientists and entrepreneurs looking for fuels to replace mineral oils. The existing projects, though, are looking at freshwater algae. These have to be nurtured in ponds that require attention and occupy land that could be used for other things. The sea, by contrast, is both free and self-maintaini ng. Mr Munford reckons an area the size of the North Sea could yield enough biodiesel to replace the fossil fuels used in transport today. How you harvest the algae, most of which would be a millimetre or less across, is less clear. But if that could be done economically, biofuel aquaculture would be about as green as you could get.

  • Is CCS technology ready for the challenge? - environmentalr esearchweb: To many people the idea of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is appealing. Trapping carbon dioxide emissions before they reach the atmosphere, and then burying them safely underground could play a significant role in helping to mitigate global warming. But is CCS technology ready for the challenge and are we really likely to see it implemented on a large scale?
