Greenhouse gases cause climate change and global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, and hydrocarbons, which are released as a result of human activities such as metabolism, agriculture, industrial production, and transportation. Considering their effects on the environment, the need for greenhouse gas storage methods is necessary to reduce emissions in the environment.
Greenhouse gas storage methods
Carbon transfer:
Carbon transfer method is one of the effective methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this method, carbon dioxide is separated from the environment and air and stored in a position where it cannot return to the atmosphere. Methods such as indirect carbon cultivation and marine carbon transfer are used to store greenhouse gases.
Local storage of biogas:
Another solution for storing greenhouse gases is the local storage of biogas. In this method, greenhouse gases are absorbed and stored using mechanized methods such as biological cultivation and smart agriculture. For example, the cultivation of olive trees in areas with good hydrology creates an effective storage for carbon.
Using recycling methods:
Recycling of greenhouse gases can be a sustainable solution to reduce their impact on the environment. In this method, greenhouse gases from different sources such as agricultural waste, waste and sewage are collected and recovered and recycled. This operation ultimately leads to an increase in efficiency and a reduction in related emissions.
Use of new technologies:
New technologies such as underground storage of greenhouse gases, the use of nanoreactors and low-carbon energy production also help to reduce the required emissions. These technologies are also a suitable choice for greenhouse gas storage due to their efficiency and better performance than traditional methods.
Energy consumption reduction activities
One of the important ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to reduce energy consumption. By using new technologies, increasing energy efficiency and optimal use of renewable resources, everyone can help reduce energy consumption and, as a result, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As a result, in order to compare the efficiency of different greenhouse gas storage methods and carry out evaluation, common standards and acceptable criteria should be defined. It should be carefully considered that each storage method has its own advantages and disadvantages and should be considered according to technical, financial and environmental conditions.
For example, in areas that face special geographical conditions such as the desert, the polar region, and large cement and metal industries, the carbon dioxide storage method can be used in a carbon double-walled CO2 tank. For example, in areas where the necessary conditions are not available for the construction and maintenance of double-walled carbon tanks, other methods are used as alternatives.
Greenhouse gas storage methods can help reduce their effects on the environment. Using methods such as carbon transfer, local biogas storage, recycling, new technologies and reducing energy consumption can help preserve natural resources and protect the environment.
Greenhouse gas reduction factors:
1- Use of plants:
Plants absorb CO2 in the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, planting plants and increasing their area can be used as a solution to reduce CO2 emissions in the environment.
2- Production of sustainable fuels:
Using fuels that do not produce CO2 in their production process can be used as another solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
3- Green technology:
The creation of green technologies, such as wind turbines and solar panels, not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also serve as sustainable energy sources.
A new way of storing carbon dioxide
The new method of storing carbon dioxide includes the use of various technologies that directly or indirectly remove this gas from the atmosphere and store it in safe places without harming the environment. Some of the new methods of CO2 storage are:
1.Underground storage (ground drilling): In this method, carbon dioxide is stored in a compact form underground. This method requires proper underground drainage for storage, and the underground CO2 tank must have the ability to discharge properly depending on the conditions.
2.Liquid storage in the sea: In this method, carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form in the sea. This method requires aquaculture industries and the use of technologies such as special reactors to retain carbon dioxide in the fluid.
3.Conversion of carbon dioxide into usable materials: In this method, carbon dioxide is converted into useful materials such as plastics, liquid fuels or other chemical products. This method can help to reduce the dependence on fossil resources as well as the costs of the ecosystem related to carbon dioxide.
Also, the use of technologies such as CCS technology and the expansion of the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy are also considered as other new ways to store carbon dioxide.
