Edited by M M Maroto-Valer, The Centre for Innovation in Carbon Capture and Storage (CICCS), University of Nottingham, UK
Woodhead Energy Series No. 8
The development of CCS worldwide must go ahead at a pace unprecedented in large-scale technology investment and that needs unprecedented levels of knowledge transfer. This book makes a significant contribution.
Dr Jeff Chapman, The Carbon Capture & Storage Association, UK
- foreword written by Lord Oxburgh, Climate Science Peer
- reviews the economics, regulation and planning of carbon capture and storage for power plants and industry
- explores developments in combustion processes and technologies for CO2 capture in power plants
- addresses CO2 compression, transport and injection as well as industrial applications of CCS technology, including in the cement and steel industries
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.
