As a branch of astronomy, star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium (ISM) and giant molecular clouds (GMC) as precursors to the star formation process, and the study of protostars and young stellar objects as its immediate products.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or carbon capture and sequestration) is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere, normally an underground geological formation.
â¢ If we capture, transport and deposit the carbon dioxide that is liberated when biomass is burned, and store it permanently in the ground, we can actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. â¢ The method known as BioCCS is now more than ever relevant as a result of the climate crisis.
