HOW REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE


Dioxide in the air is to maintain trees and plant more trees.Trees, especially young and fast growing, absorb very much carbon dioxide, break through photosynthesis and store carbon in wood. Around the world, the rate of forest encroachment has reached alarming levels. In many areas, little plants that grow back once because the soil loses its fertility when converted to other purposes, such as for agriculture or housing development. Steps to overcome this is to reforestation that play a role in reducing the increasing greenhouse gases.

Carbon dioxide gas also can be removed directly. How to inject (injects) the gas into oil wells to push the oil out to the surface (see Enhanced Oil Recovery). Injection can also be done to isolate it in underground gas as in oil wells, coal seams or aquifers. This has been done in one of Norway's offshore drilling plat forms, where carbon dioxide is brought to the surface with natural gas captured and injected back into the aquifer so it can not go back to the surface.

One source of supply of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels began to increase rapidly since the industrial revolution in the 18th century. At that time, coal became the dominant source of energy for later replaced by oil in the mid-19th century. In the 20th century, began regular gas energy used worldwide as an energy source. Changes in trend in the use of fossil fuels is actually indirectly have reduced the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air, because the gas releases less carbon dioxide compared to oil especially when compared with coal. However, the use of renewable energy and nuclear energy further reduces the release of carbon dioxide into the air. Nuclear energy, although controversial for reasons of safety and hazardous wastes, but does not release carbon dioxide at all.
