Question

The total amount of green-house gases produced, to directly and indirectly support human activities, is referred to as
1. Carbon dioxide index
2. Carbon footprint
3. Carbon sequestration
4. Carbon capture

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Carbon footprint

The correct answer is the Carbon footprint.

• The total amount of green-house gases produced, to, directly and indirectly, support human activities, is referred to as Carbon Footprint.

 

• ​Carbon dioxide emission index
  • Carbon dioxide emission index, defined as the amount of CO₂ released per unit of energy value, was used to rate gaseous, liquid and solid fuels.
• Carbon Footprint
  • A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, event, organization, service, or product, expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent. 
• Carbon Sequestration
  • Carbon sequestration or carbon dioxide removal is the long-term removal, capture or sequestration of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to slow or reverse atmospheric CO2 pollution and to mitigate or reverse global warming.
• Carbon Capture 
  • Carbon capture and storage, or carbon capture and sequestration and carbon control and sequestration, is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide, transporting it to a storage site, and depositing it where it will not enter the atmosphere.
