  2. Environmental impact of mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_mining

    Mining oil shale impacts the environment it can damage the biological land and ecosystems. The thermal heating and combustion generate a lot of material and waste that includes carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas. Many environmentalists are against the production and usage of oil shale because it creates large amounts of greenhouse gasses.

    In addition, there have been many coal mining disasters, although work related coal deaths has declined substantially as safety measures have been enacted and underground mining has given up market share to surface mining. [citation needed] Underground mining hazards include suffocation, gas poisoning, roof collapse and gas explosions. Open cut ...

    Underground greenhouse maintenance often depends on the structure itself, but these tips can help ensure a clean environment and increase the longevity of both the structure and the plants inside.

  6. Atmospheric mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_mining

    Carbon dioxide mining on Earth will reduce the level of greenhouse gases and can also produce fuel. The carbon extracted could be used to produce other materials such as plastics, which unlike fuel would have much greater potential to keep the carbon from returning to the atmosphere especially if the final products were intended to be durable and for long-term use.

  7. Carbon sequestration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sequestration

    It helps to slow the atmospheric and marine accumulation of greenhouse gases, which is mainly carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels. [ 11 ] Carbon sequestration, when applied for climate change mitigation, can either build on enhancing naturally occurring carbon sequestration or use technology for carbon sequestration processes.

  8. Coalbed methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalbed_methane

    A German methane detector used for coal mining in the 1960s. Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), [1] coalbed gas, or coal seam gas (CSG [1]) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. [2] In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries.

  9. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergy_with_carbon...

    Greenhouse gas emissions from bioenergy can be low because when vegetation is harvested for bioenergy, new vegetation can grow that will absorb CO 2 from the air through photosynthesis. [2] After the biomass is harvested, energy ("bioenergy") is extracted in useful forms (electricity, heat, biofuels , etc.) as the biomass is utilized through ...
