Technologies for the recovery and disposal of carbon dioxide

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6368237
A study was made on the technical feasibility and economic costs of CO/sub 2/ control, should the need arise for regulating the quantity of CO/sub 2/ contained in the atmosphere. Means of CO/sub 2/ control and recovery are discussed. The four ways of disposing of captured CO/sub 2/ considered are: injection in the deep ocean; terrestrial burial; storage in plants and trees; and, conversion of CO/sub 2/ to useful products. Although the costs would be substantial, deep ocean disposal appears to be a possibility. (JGB)
