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 GHGs and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of GHGs makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry.

Methane, Nitrox Oxide, and Ozone Conversion and Utilization studies the applications of any GHGs other than carbon dioxide, including methane, nitrox oxide, and ozone. It investigates various valuable products fabricated with the inclusion of these three components, like syngas, methanol, propane, and nitrogen. This book also covers related investigates in water treatment, food industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, and surface cleaning fields.
