Carbon mitigation
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:29:48
Abstract
Any portfolio of options to reduce the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere invariably includes carbon sequestration. This course aims to apply knowledge gained in the specialized courses to this environmental problem. It includes as elements short introductory presentations from faculty, guided research by the students, and final presentations by the students, followed by a general discussion.
Objective
The goal of this course is to investigate, as a group, a particular set of carbon sequestration options and to evaluate their potential, their cost, and their consequences.
Content
From the large number of carbon sequestration options, one or two options will be selected and then investigated in detail by the students. The results of this research will then be presented to the other students, the involved faculty, and discussed in detail by the whole group.
