Cutting-Edge Technology For Carbon Capture, Storage, And Utilization

Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time, and carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered by many scientists to be one of the biggest offenders, in terms of greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide sequestration, or capture, is one of the leading ways for mitigating carbon emissions and reducing the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. Many scientists and engineers in recent years, however, have experimented not only with capturing and storing CO2, but utilizing it in other ways, as well. This is an amazing breakthrough in our understanding of this seemingly harmful gas, and it could change how we see it in the future.

This groundbreaking text, edited by one of the world’s leading authors in this area and written by a group of world-renowned experts in the field, covers all of the most recent developments concerning carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage, in addition to the underlying theories and principles guiding the science. Including, as the title suggests, the most cutting-edge topics in this field, this volume is a must-have for anyone working in petroleum and natural gas operations. Including upstream and downstream topics, this exciting new text has it all and belongs on every engineer’s bookshelf or laptop.
