Question

Which of the following is the key component of carbon management?
(a) Energy management
(b) Water management
(c) Soil management
(d) Environmental management

Answer 1

Hint: The management of carbon results in the production of power. It is produced by the burning of carbon in the form of fossil fuels. To increase the amount of generation of power, the use of carbon needs to be reduced.

Complete answer:
The key component of carbon management is energy management. We all know that when carbon is burned, a large amount of energy is released. The lesser the amount of carbon is emitted, the lower will be the amount of pollution created. The management of carbon is done to reduce the emission of carbon and to increase energy generation.
The management of carbon can be done by various methods that include,
-The Reduction in the process of deforestation, when trees are cut at a lower rate then it will keep a check on the amount of carbon production. As more trees are present in an area the lesser will be the amount of carbon emission resulting in the process of increased energy.
-Increasing the amount of forest area will result in the increased production of oxygen and lowers the rate of production of carbon.
-The harvesting of wood will also result in a decrease in carbon emission.
-The other method of reducing carbon from the atmosphere is carbon sequestration. It is the process of storing atmospheric carbon and thus lowering its amount in the atmosphere.

So, the correct answer is ‘Energy management’.

Note:
Energy management is related to the amount of energy produced and consumed. It helps in managing the various ways in which energy is to be utilized so as the lower amount of energy is used and the rest is stored for the purpose of future use.
