Best Answer

CCS or Carbon Capture and Storage reduces the greenhouse gas emissions that are released through the burning coal in three ways. The first is pre-combustion capture where the fuel is converted into a mix of CO2 and hydrogen gas so the hydrogen can be burnt off an the CO2 is then compressed ready for transport. The second is post combustion where a liquid solvent captures the CO2 that is separated in the process. The third is Oxyfuel combustion where oxygen is used for the fuel combustion making it easier separate a stream of CO2 in a high purity.

Why are governments trying to reduce the output of greenhouse gases?

The industrial release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) has been linked to the retention of heat in the atmosphere, known as "global warming." By reducing the amount released, they hope to reduce the detrimental long-term effects of this heating, including higher sea levels, increased storm activity, and altered precipitation patterns.

How may raising livestock be worsening the greenhouse effect?

Raising livestock, especially cattle, may be worsening the greenhouse effect because of the amount of methane that cattle belch out. Methane is a greenhouse that is 20 times stronger than carbon dioxide. Scientists are looking for ways to change cattle food that will reduce the amount of methane produced.
