Carbon Capture Science and Technology (CCST)

Carbon Capture Science and Technology (CCST) is pivotal in mitigating the environmental impact of CO₂ emissions, a significant contributor to global climate change and environmental pollution. Focused primarily on capturing and purifying CO₂ from emission sources like power plants and industrial facilities, CCST offers a promising pathway towards achieving green, low-carbon, and sustainable economic development. Beyond emissions reduction, the separation of CO₂ plays a critical role in various sectors, including chemical processes, food processing, electronics, and energy industries, such as enhanced oil recovery and coal bed methane extraction. This topic explores experimental research and theoretical analyses related to carbon capture, materials, and chemistry advancements in CCST, and comprehensive environmental, social, and political assessments of carbon capture technologies. It aims to address challenges in CO₂ capture and storage, optimize the efficient and economical utilization of CO₂, and include lifecycle assessments and techno-economic analyses crucial for evaluating CCST processes. With its interdisciplinary approach, this book underscores the scientific significance and practical engineering applications of CCST in environmental protection, sustainable energy development, and industrial production. For researchers and practitioners alike, this comprehensive volume provides valuable insights into advancing CCST methodologies and technologies, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
