Sustainable Development With Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Technology - Springer Geography

This volume "Sustainable Development with Carbon Capture: Utilization and Storage Technology" brings together cross-disciplinary research on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to examine the impact of implementing CCUS tools and technologies on emissions reduction and sustainable development in cities and large metropolitan areas. An expert group of global contributors provides in-depth technical discussions, case studies, and examples with an emphasis on the worldwide application of the latest developments in technology, protocols, implementation, and application of CCUS in power and energy systems.

The Book:

• Discusses CCUS and its Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals, Challenges and Opportunities for CCUS Implementation and Optimizing CCUS Solutions: A Technical and Economic Perspective.
• Covers Factors Influencing Capture Technology Selection: Efficiency, Cost, Integration with Existing Processes and Applications of Carbon Capture Technologies: Power Plants, Industrial Facilities, and Bioenergy Facilities.
• Explores Injection Strategies and Plume Management, Suitable Geological Formations for CO2 Storage, Monitoring, Verification, and Risk Mitigation, Metrics for Capture Efficiency, Pipelines for CO₂ Transport.
• Explains Minimizing the Environmental Footprint of CCUS, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses of CCUS Projects, The Role of Carbon Pricing in Promoting CCUS, Regulatory Frameworks for CCUS Projects, Carbon Pricing and its Impact on CCUS Adoption and Minimizing Environmental Footprint.
• Showcases a clear idea of Building Capacity for Sustainable Transitions with CCUS, Integration of Renewables to Enhance CCUS Efficiency, from Waste to Resource: Converting Captured CO₂ into Liquid Fuels, Gaseous Fuels, and Chemical Feedstocks.

The book will be written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of energy & environmental engineering, production engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, computer science engineering, and sustainable development prectioniers.
