Question 5

What are the Reliable Energy Sources?

Answer 5

• Fossil Fuels
• Nuclear
• Geothermal
• Hydrelectric

Question 6

What is Carbon Capture Used for?

Answer 6

• CCS is used to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and to reduce the strength of the greenhouse effect

Question 7

What do CCS do?

Answer 7

• They collect CO2 from power stations before it is released into the atmosphere
• This can then be pumped into empty gas and oil fields ( E.G in North Sea) - it can be safely stored without adding to the GH effect

Question 8

Who are CCS?

Answer 8

CCS is a new technology that’s developing quickly. New ways of storing CO2 are being explored, including storing CO2 dissolved in seawater at the bottom of the ocean and capturing CO2 with algae, which can then be used to produce oil as a biofuel.
