Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions with Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects: A Life Cycle Assessment Approach

摘要

A wide range of industries are investigating methods of reducing their emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO_2) methane (CH_4), and nitrous oxide (N_2O). Several options have been identified ranging from energy efficiency and reforestation to capture and storage in oceans, aquifers, or underground. Although greenhouse gases are not yet regulated, the power generation and petroleum industries are already considering greenhouse gas capture and storage methods to reduce their emissions to the atmosphere.
