Carbon sub-oxide capture and storage (CCS) is a technology aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels during industrial and energy-related processes. CCS involves the seizure, transport and long-term storage of carbon dioxide, usually in geological reservoirs deep subterraneous that would otherwise be released to the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide capture and storage offers important possibilities for making further use of petrifaction fuels more compatible with climate vary mitigation policies. The largest volumes of CO2 could have ~ing captured from large point sources of that kind as from power generation, which alone accounts in the place of about 40 per cent of ~ity anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The development of capture technologies in the power generation sector could have existence particularly important in view of the projected enlarge in demand for electricity in fastened developing countries with enormous coal reserves (IEA 2002a). Although, this contemplation is promising, more research is needed to discomfit several hurdles such as important costs of seizure technology and the match of ample capture sources with adequate geological storage sites. The book will provide a comprehensive, detailed but non-specialist overview of the remote range of technologies involved in carbon sub-oxide capture and sequestration.
