Description
Carbon Capture: A Promising Pathway to Climate Change Mitigation Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a climate change mitigation technique that offers a direct approach to reducing CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. This concise guide provides an overview of the technology, its applications, and the policies surrounding it. The book explains the fundamentals of climate change, the various capture and storage technologies, including chemical scrubbing and underground injection, as well as current efforts to deploy CCS in factories and power plants. It also explores the politics and policy implications of CCS, arguing for its inclusion in the policy agenda. By understanding carbon capture and storage, readers can gain insight into a promising pathway for mitigating climate change.
