Question
Chapter 17, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
To Suggest:
A strategy for carbon sequestration in the ocean should be suggested and evaluated.
Introduction:
Carbon sequestration is capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and other forms of carbon and storing long term to defer global warming. Atmospheric CO2 is captured by biological, chemical and physical processes.

please draw!
Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon. In the first model diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a natural, pre-industrial landscape. In the second model, diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a landscape altered by human activity and industry.
Finally, write a few short sentences on what you would expect the atmospheric levels of CO2 to be in each model and why they would or would not be similar.

- Combining BioEnergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) offers theprospect of energy supply with large-scale net negative emissions and in most of the lower RCPs is required to stay below 2 degrees of global warming. But this entails challenges and risks associated with the upstream large-scale provision of the biomass that is used in the CCS facility as well as those associated with the CCS technology itself. In no morethan 1 page (excluding diagrams) discuss the potential role of BECCS in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions from conventional fossil fuel power stations and what issues or barriers need to be addressed to enable this. Some of the points to be addressed include:i. To what extent the technology has been proven at an appropriate scale.ii. What incentives (e.g. what level of carbon price) would be needed to drive the investment needed.arrow_forwardOpponents of alternative and renewable energy technologies argue that such technologies are expensive and contain many hidden costs. Opponents of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy technologies argue that we don't account for the hidden environmental and health costs of these technologies, which makes non-renewables (primarily fossil fuels) seem cheaper. Explore this debate by doing the following: Go to the website page: https://www.aei.org/articles/the-trouble-with-renewable-energy/ to read an article stating that renewable energy technologies may not fulfill their promise. Notice the date of the article and reflect on any change in our society's perception on this subject. Also note the author. I recommend you always do a bit of research about an article's author, because it is important to understand an author's frame of reference.

However, the nature of electric cars is such that the new technology and electric batteries generate 30,000 lbs. of GHG to manu-facture and another 10,000 lbs. to recycle. A standard car generates only 14,000 lbs. of GHG to manufacture, and recycling with established tech-nology is only 1,000 lbs.

- Pls help mearrow_forwardChapter 10 of your textbook describes four biogeochemical cycles (some of which might also be called nutrient cycles) which carry elements and compounds essential to life on earth: the oxygen cycle, the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle and the phosphorous cycle. Read the sections in the textbook and refer to the diagrams for each of the cycles.These cycles are constantly going on around us. Think about how we are involved in these cycles. What parts of the major biogeochemical cycles do we witness or experience in our daily lives? Give one example per post or response. Think about where the element or nutrient may have come from or where it may go next and whether the process may have been affected by humans and human activities.A simple example (using the hydrologic cycle, which we studied in Chapter 7): Yesterday I was at the beach and witnessed rain falling into the ocean. This is part of the hydrologic cycle.
