Decarbonization Strategies and Drivers to Achieve Carbon Neutrality for Sustainability. This item is unavailable.Decarbonization Strategies and Drivers to Achieve Carbon Neutrality for Sustainability

Decarbonization Strategies and Drivers to Achieve Carbon Neutrality for Sustainability emphasizes the significance of various decarbonization strategies. Sections cover contributions of bioenergy to decarbonization, non-fossil energy targets, the role of wind energy, hydrogen energy, potential of geothermal energy, nuclear energy, wind to energy, role of electrification and carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies, and more. The book aims to explain how reducing petroleum consumption and supplementing alternate sources of renewable fuels is vital and would strengthen decarbonization.

• Provides strategies for the implementation of decarbonization
• Explores the possibilities for reducing the emission of greenhouse gases
• Suggests actions and possible solutions to counteract climate change and its consequences

Larry E. Erickson received doctorate in 1964 in chemical engineering from Kansas State University. He has been a member of the chemical engineering faculty at K-State since 1964. In 1967-68 he conducted research in biochemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and introduced courses in biochemical engineering and bioseparations at K-State. From 1985-2018, he has provided leadership for hazardous substance research at K-State. From 1989-2003, he was director of the Great Plains/Rocky Mountain Hazardous Substance Research Center, a consortium of universities with headquarters at K-State. In order to advance pollution prevention and improve environmental management, he introduced seminars in hazardous waste engineering, air quality, and sustainability. He has worked with more than 70 graduate students, coauthored more than 450 papers, traveled professionally to more than 25 countries, and participated in more than $50 million of funded research projects. In January 2015, he transitioned to emeritus professor of chemical engineering. He has been employed by Mobil Oil Company, ESSO Research and Engineering Co., Humble Oil and Refining Company. He has been a visiting faculty member at MIT, University of California, Berkeley, Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, Pushchino, Russia, and Institute of Microbiology, Prague, Czech Republic.
