Smart solutions Smart sensors, Powerful solutions Yokogawa’s IIoT Sushi sensor PAM solution automates the manual operator round process and improves accuracy by collecting and digitizing precise data on a configurable interval (typically every hour) from hundreds of machines simultaneously. Where traditional operator rounds are reactive in nature, Yokogawa Sushi PAM takes a proactive approach to predict equipment abnormalities. This enables the plant maintenance manag
Classification the long-term storage of carbon in plants , soils , geologic formations, and the ocean . Carbon sequestration occurs both naturally and as a result of anthropogenic activities and typically refers to the storage of carbon that has the immediate potential to become carbon dioxide gas. In response to growing concerns about climate change resulting from increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere , considerable interest has been drawn to the possibility of increasing the rate of carbon sequestration through changes in land use and forestry and also through geoengineering techniques such as carbon capture and storage .
Portfolio
sources and Methods carbon cycle The generalized carbon cycle. Anthropogenic activities such as the burning of fossil fuels have released carbon from its long-term geologic storage as coal, petroleum, and natural gas and have delivered it to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is also released naturally, through the decomposition of plants and animals. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased since the beginning of the industrial age, and this increase has been caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is a very effective greenhouse gas—that is, a gas that absorbs infrared radiation emitted from Earth’s surface. As carbon dioxide concentrations rise in the atmosphere, more infrared radiation is retained, and the average temperature of Earth’s lower atmosphere rises. This process is referred to as global warming.

Hydrogen production mechanism
Road map to a carbon economy Hydrogen is at a turning point and will benefit from economies of scale as it ramps up across states and sectors in what is known as sector coupling. Sector coupling refers to “the idea of interconnecting (integrating) the energy-consuming sectors – buildings (heating and cooling), transport, and industry – with the power-producing sectors in order to provide grid-balancing services to the power sector. supply-side integration focused on the integration of the power and gas sectors for reliability and resiliency. When deployed across multiple applications, systemic benefits start to kick in: infrastructure costs are shared across applications, technological developments in one application can be applied to others, and sector-coupling benefits play a meaningful role.
Case studies Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change. The USGS is conducting assessments on two major types of carbon sequestration: geologic and biologic.
Carbon sequestration Carbon sequestration Carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon in a carbon pool. It plays a crucial role in limiting climate change by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There are two main types of carbon sequestration: biologic and geologic
Atmosphere mission into the atmosphere, but forest regrowth is a form of carbon sequestration, with the forests themselves serving as carbon sinks. Carbon is transferred naturally from the atmosphere to terrestrial carbon sinks through photosynthesis ; it may be stored in aboveground biomass as well as in soils . Beyond the natural growth of plants, other terrestrial processes that sequester carbon include growth of replacement vegetation on cleared land,
Carbon capture and storage Some policy makers, engineers, and scientists seeking to mitigate global warming have proposed new technologies of carbon sequestration. These technologies include a geoengineering proposal called carbon capture and storage (CCS). In CCS processes, carbon dioxide is first separated from other gases contained in industrial emissions. It is then compressed and transported to a location that is isolated from the atmosphere for long-term storage. Suitable storage locations might include geologic formations such as deep saline formations ( sedimentary rocks whose pore spaces are saturated with water containing high concentrations of dissolved salts ), de
