carbon dioxide

This week on Noon Edition, we will talk with guests about the carbon sequestration project and what that means for Terre Haute residents.

Wabash Valley Resources intends to pipe and inject 1.67 million tons of carbon dioxide annually a mile below the area’s surface as part of its plan to produce “green” anhydrous ammonia fertilizer at a former coal gasification plant in Vigo County.

The rule would require coal and natural gas plants to store 90 percent of their carbon dioxide emissions underground in about a decade.

According to a study published by American researchers in 2020, unless we change current practices, by the end of this century there will be more than twice as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as there was before the industrial revolution.

Sophisticated digital climate models help scientists measure the effects of carbon dioxide on the warming and cooling of the planet. Water scientists also find clues to how the earth's climate is changing by looking to the past.
