    This document summarizes information about carbon capture and sequestration (CCS). It discusses some of the problems with CCS, such as potential leakage of stored carbon dioxide that can damage ecosystems. It also discusses biofuels as a potential solution. The document outlines the process of making biofuels from biomass and their effects, which include reduced carbon emissions but also high costs and slow production. In conclusion, it estimates the potential impacts of CCS and biofuels in terms of gigatons of carbon saved, monetary savings, population affected, and projected success rate.

    The Problem

    Problems with Carbon
    Storage

    CCS can damage the environment due to


    leakage of CO2 from the pipelines or storage
    reservoir. Leakage of CO2 underground
    increases plant mortality, reduces growth
    and createss potentially severe localized
    damage to ecosystems.
