Carbon Dioxide MitigationGlobally, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly of carbon dioxide (CO2), has become increasingly important. Currently, much of the carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere is a result of human activities — from the use of fossil fuels in the transportation and energy sectors. Significant emission reductions may be achieved in the energy sector through fuel switching, and in the transportation sector by improving efficiency through the use of intermodal shipping and through the use of alternative fuels such as biofuel. Additionally, geologic sequestration methods can be used to store CO2. This can be accomplished by underground injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or injection into deep saline aquifers.
