Power Hungry: Chapter 15

Chapter 15 of "Power Hungry" delves into the potential for the United States to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by the year 2050. Presented by Andrew Kelley, this chapter emphasizes the importance of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) as a viable solution to meet this ambitious goal. With hydrocarbons currently supplying 88% of world energy, the discussion also touches on related topics like the Kyoto Protocol and the practicalities of implementing CCS technologies. This segment addresses technical feasibility, economic implications, and the environmental impact of CCS in the fight against climate change.

  1. Power Hungry:Chapter 15 Myth: The United States Can Cut CO2 Emissions by 80 Percent by 2050, and Carbon Capture and Sequestration Can Help Achieve That Goal Presented by Andrew Kelley

  2. Climate Change – Get used to it • Hydrocarbons – 88% World Energy • Higher Consumption = Higher Standard of Living • Big 5 • Kyoto Protocol – 6 of 188

  3. Carbon Capture & Sequestration • Holy Grail – Most feasible Option • Technically feasible, Economically… • Volume – 10% of Daily Production (2006) • Equivalent to 41 VLCC Super Tankers VLCC - Very Large Crude Carrier: 160,000–319,999 DWT (Dead Wt Tons)
