Thermal
A thermal column (or thermal) is a column of rising air in the lower altitudes of Earth's atmosphere, a form of atmospheric updraft. Thermals are created by the uneven heating of Earth's surface from solar radiation, and are an example of convection, specifically atmospheric convection. The Sun warms the ground, which in turn warms the air directly above it.
Carbon dioxide capture, transport and storage (CCS) is a key enabling technology for reducing emissions from fossil fuels used for power generation and from industrial processes. An EU initiative aimed to turn CCS into a viable and cost-effective technology.
