Maroto-Valer M.M. Developments and Innovation in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture and Storage Technology. Volume 1: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture, Transport and Industrial Applications

Woodhead Publishing, CRC Press, 2010, 548 p. - Woodhead Publishing ISBN:978-1-84569-533-0 (book), ISBN:978-1-84569-957-4 (e-book); CRC Press ISBN:978-1-4398-3099-4Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy.The fossil-fuel power sector and energy-intensive industries are major producers of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, contributing to rising global CO₂ levels that have been linked to climate change. CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) technology is therefore being developed for application to power plants and in CO₂-intensive industries to reduce the carbon footprint of these activities, in order to mitigate the potentially harmful effects of climate change. CO₂ capture options range from post- and pre-combustion separation to advanced combustion-based options, which are applicable to both new-build power plant or as a retrofit to existing plant, and can also be adopted in other industries. CO₂ 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. Developments and innovations in this field are aimed at increasing the effectiveness and lowering the cost of capture, and at verifying the safety and efficacy of storage/sequestration. Developments and innovation in carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and storage technology, Volumes 1 and 2, provide a comprehensive reference on the state of the art of research, development and demonstration of CCS technology in the power sector and in industry. Volume 1 initially reviews the economics, regulation and planning of CCS for power plants and industry, and goes on to explore developments and innovation in post- and pre-combustion and advanced combustion processes and technologies for CO₂ capture in power plants. This coverage is extended with sections on CO₂ compression, transport and injection and industrial applications of CCS technology, including in the cement, concrete, iron and steel industries. With its distinguished international team of contributors, Developments and innovation in carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and storage technology, Volumes 1 and 2, will be a standard reference for professional and manager in the power sector and related industries, as well as to academics and researchers in this important field.Contributor contact details
