In "Carbon Capture - Utilization and Storage: Climate Change Mitigation," the urgent battle against climate change takes center stage as the world grapples with the pressing need to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Delving into the intricate science behind Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), this book navigates the complex landscape of strategies aimed at trapping emitted CO2 and preventing its release into the atmosphere.
From post-combustion to pre-combustion methods, readers are immersed in a world where cutting-edge technologies intersect with environmental necessity. As the global community strives to honor the mandates of the Paris Agreement, the author explores the potential of CCUS to pave the way for a carbon-neutral future.
Despite challenges surrounding cost and commercial viability, a glimmer of hope emerges as integrated CCUS systems gain traction around the world. From the United States to China, these systems offer a glimpse into a future where carbon capture and utilization become integral components of sustainable energy production.
With a focus on clarity and accessibility, this book aims to educate undergraduates, researchers, and policymakers alike on the vital role CCUS plays in the fight against climate change. For those seeking a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal technology, "Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage" serves as an indispensable guide into the realm of environmental stewardship and innovation.
