Description

Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive series that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and introduces different sources of GHG emission and the relation between GHG and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHG makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry.

Greenhouse Gases Formation and Challenges primarily introduces the definition of GHGs, as well as their characteristics and properties. This book presents measuring methods for the detection of GHGs and connects GHG emissions with global warming and climate change. This book touches on all aspects concerning the classification of GHGs with their types and features and how they are detected, followed by discussions addressing the connection between GHGs and climate change in different sectors.
