What are some ways to reduce carbon emissions?

Similarly, engineers have developed ways to capture the carbon dioxide that results from burning coal in power plants and store it safely underground. This new technology, called carbon capture and sequestration, can cut by 80 the carbon dioxide emitted during the production of electricity.
