Comparing The Primary Methods Of Reducing The Consumption Of Carbon Dioxide

There are three primary methods for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, employing energy efficiency and conservation practices, using carbon free or reduced-carbon energy resources, and capturing and storing carbon either from fossil fuels or from the atmosphere. There are many energy efficiency and conservation practices that reduce the consumption of carbon-based fuels (e.g natural gas, oil, coal, or gasoline), decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.

Another way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to use carbon-free or reduced-carbon sources of energy. Carbon free sources of energy have their own associated impacts, but in general, these technological generates energy without producing and emitting carbon dioxide to the
