In carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from coal-fired power plants are trapped within a solvent, reducing the CO₂ emissions released into the atmosphere. The CO₂ is then separated from the solvent and sequestered underground. After capture, which types of underground environments are suitable for CO₂ sequestration? unminable coal seams depleted oil and gas reservoirs oceanic sea vents swamps and marshes deep saline formations
The 1973 Clean Water Act requires that streams altered by mountaintop removal (MTR) mining be reclaimed to reduce the effects of mining on stream ecosystems. To reclaim streams, concrete- and stone-lined ditches are created to act as functional waterways. What ecological functions do the artificial streams lack to compared to natural streams? They do not process contaminants out of water. They do not connect to natural bodies of water. They do not hold water on the same seasonal cycle. They do not aid in flood control. They do not support the same aquatic life.
