Woodhead Publishing Developments and Innovation in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture and Storage Technology: Volume 1: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, Transport and Industrial ... (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage is the one advanced technology that conventional power generation cannot do without. CCS technology reduces the carbon footprint of power plants by capturing, and storing the CO2 emissions from burning fossil-fuels and biomass. Capture technology ranges from post- and pre-combustion capture to combustion-based capture. Storage options range from geological sequestration in deep saline aquifers and utilisation of CO2 for enhanced oil and gas recovery, to mineral carbonation and biofixation of CO2. This volume critically reviews carbon capture processes and technology applicable to the conventional power generation sector as well as other high carbon footprint industries. Key Features: foreword written by Lord Oxburgh, Climate Science Peer; reviews the economics, regulation and planning of carbon capture and storage for power plants and industry; explores developments in combustion processes and technologies for CO2 capture in power plants; addresses CO2 compression, transport and injection as well as industrial applications of CCS technology, including in the cement and steel industries.
