Carbon Capture

This book focuses on the recent trends in carbon management and up-to-date information on different carbon management strategies that lead to manage increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The growing evidence of climate change resulting from the continued increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has made it a high profile political–social and trade issue.

This volume provides a state-of-the-art review of various carbon sinks for CO2 sequestration such as soil and oceans, and discusses the carbon sequestration achieved by storage in kerogen nanopores, CO2 miscible flooding and generation of energy efficient solvents for postcombustion CO2 capture, focus on monitoring and tracking of CO2 migration. Both researchers and students should find the material useful.

This volume presents important information on the far-ranging effects of greenhouse gases on the environment and examines potential solutions to controlling carbon emissions.

CCUS

This book describes the current options for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) available and discusses the potential for future CCS strategies. CCS is the only method available for reducing CO2 emissions while allowing continued use of fossil fuels, both for power generation and potentially in broader contexts.
