Carbon mitigation: A holistic approach to the issue
One of the hottest topics currently is that of global warming that may be caused by the anthropogenic release of CO{sub 2} from burning fossil fuels. Within the Power and Environmental Systems Division at the Federal Energy Technology Center (FETC), a Greenhouse Gas Team has been assembled to implement a program for addressing the issues of greenhouse gases. This team is looking at the various questions of how to avoid, capture, utilize and/or sequester CO{sub 2} and other greenhouse gases. This paper will present an integrated approach to addressing the issue of carbon mitigation and will highlight some of the research work and projects being sponsored by FETC. The Greenhouse Gas Team has defined the component of carbon mitigation broadly as ocean sequestration, geological sequestration, capture, utilization, energy production, and analysis.
