Final paper outline
Many consider carbon dioxide capture and sequestration is a viable option for reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Your paper is to discuss conditions under which the world would see wide spread implementation of CO2 sequestration with special emphasis on a carbon tax.
- What is nature of the CO2 emissions challenge? (16 points)
- How much is emitted from different sources in different countries around the world.
- Largest source of CO2 emissions in the world
- Largest source of CO2 emissions in the US
- What are current technologies available to (20 points)
- reduce CO2 emissions in power generation
- capture CO2 emissions from power generation
- capture CO2 from the atmosphere
- sequester the captured CO2
- What are the economics of capture and disposal by the various routes (20 points)
- What is carbon tax and how does it help (if at all) in the reduction of CO2 emissions (16 points)
- If you are the Government and considering a carbon tax, what would a carbon tax value have to be that would lead to more wide spread implementation of methods to reduce CO2 discharges into the atmosphere (reducing CO2 production, capture and sequestering). (16 points)
- What are the barriers for the imposition of such a carbon tax. (12 points)
Your paper is to discuss conditions under which the world would see widespread implementation of CO2 sequestration with special emphasis on a carbon tax.
Point 1. If you are the Government and considering a carbon tax, what would a carbon tax value have to be that would lead to the more widespread implementation of methods to reduce CO2 discharges into the atmosphere (reducing CO2 production, capture and sequestering)? (16 points)
Point 2 What are the barriers to the imposition of such a carbon tax. (12 points)
Each point should be written as a subheading and should be a page long.
