The course begins with an overview of the carbon cycle in the environment.  The sources of carbon dioxide are explored as well the natural sinks of carbon.  The technologies used to separate and capture carbon dioxide are reviewed.  Next, the three potential methods to sequester carbon are reviewed including geologic sequestration, ocean sequestration, and terrestrial sequestration.

This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.

After taking this course the learner will have an understanding of the following topics:

• The science of carbon dioxide emissions
• The global carbon flux
• The sources and sinks of CO2
• The process whereby carbon dioxide can be captured
• How carbon dioxide can be sequestered in geologic formations
• The sequestration ability of various geologic formations
• How carbon dioxide can be sequestered in the oceans
• How carbon dioxide can be sequestered in terrestrial land forms
