Developments and Innovation in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture and Storage Technology

Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Capture, Transport and Industrial Applications

Herausgegeben: Maroto-Valer, M. Mercedes

Beschreibung

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) 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. This volume provides a comprehensive reference on the state of the art research, development and demonstration of carbon capture technology in the power sector and in industry. It critically reviews the range of post- and pre-combustion capture and combustion-based capture processes and technology applicable to fossil-fuel power plants, as well as applications of CCS in other high carbon footprint industries.
