    CO2 in the atmosphere contributes to global climate change, and there is growing
    agreement that measures must be taken to reduce such emissions.
    Carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by using fossil fuels more efficiently and
    avoiding wasteful practices. Moreover, if utilities use fewer fossil-fueled plants and more
    wind, hydropower, and solar plants, less carbon dioxide will come from this sector.
    Practicing greater efficiency, eliminating wasteful practices, and using more renewable
    energy are important pathways for controlling CO2. Yet these strategies are insufficient.
    Since they will be plentiful for several decades, fossil fuels will continue to be used
    for generating electricity and meeting industrial needs. Accordingly, reducing CO2
    emissions at the plant level is imperative. One option is greater use of low-carbon
    fuels—more natural gas and less coal, for example. Another option involves removal
    of carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas of power plants, oil and gas refineries, and
    other industrial sources followed by storage (sequestration) of captured CO2.
    Figure 8.15 illustrates a type of carbon dioxide storage method actively under
    consideration today. Captured CO2 is injected into depleted oil and gas reservoirs,
    unminable coal seams, deep salty aquifers, and other geological structures. Storage in
    oceans by injecting CO2 to great depths from offshore pumping stations is another
    method under consideration.
