Beschreibung
Carbon Capture Methods offers a comprehensive look at the technologies designed to combat rising carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. This book dives into the science, engineering, and policy surrounding carbon capture, addressing how these methods can be effectively implemented on a global scale. It explores point-source capture, which traps carbon dioxide from industrial sources, and direct air capture, extracting CO2 directly from the atmosphere, highlighting the challenges and potential of each. The book further examines carbon utilization and storage, an often-overlooked part of the carbon cycle, crucial for converting captured carbon into valuable products and safely storing it.
The book uniquely bridges the gap between research and real-world application, systematically analyzing scientific literature, technological advancements, and the economic impacts of carbon capture. Readers gain insights into the historical context of carbon emissions and the environmental impact of the greenhouse effect. Beginning with a scientific foundation on carbon cycles, the book progresses through technological descriptions, efficiency analyses, cost evaluations, and policy recommendations, providing a balanced assessment of various technologies and acknowledging their limitations alongside potential benefits.
Ultimately, Carbon Capture Methods argues for a multi-faceted approach, combining technological innovation with thoughtful policy implementation. It draws from environmental science, engineering, and economics to provide an integrated perspective, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing the climate crisis.
