Developments and Innovation in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Capture and Storage Technology, Volume 2: Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Storage And Utilisation (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy)

Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) is the one advanced technology that conventional power generation cannot do without. CCS technology reduces the carbon footprint of power plants by capturing, and storing the CO2 emissions from burning fossil-fuels and biomass. This volume provides a comprehensive reference on the state of the art research, development and demonstration of carbon storage and utilisation, covering all the storage options and their environmental impacts. It critically reviews geological, terrestrial and ocean sequestration, including enhanced oil and gas recovery, as well as other advanced concepts such as industrial utilisation, mineral carbonation, biofixation and photocatalytic reduction.

• Foreword written by Lord Oxburgh, Climate Science Peer
• Comprehensively examines the different methods of storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the various concepts for utilisation
• Reviews geological sequestration of CO2, including coverage of reservoir sealing and monitoring and modelling techniques used to verify geological sequestration of CO2
