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 GHGs’ 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.

Greenhouse Gases Emissions and Climate Change reviews the sources of GHGs’ emissions and controlling techniques and introduces the sources of GHGs from domestic and industrial to agricultural. The book addresses the impact of their release on human health followed by politics and economics. Section 1 deals with the sources GHGs’ emission and its health impact and political and economic effects, followed by the environmental and economic assessments of inhibition techniques. Section 2 is devoted to mineral carbonation as an efficient tool for controlling GHGs’ emission. Section 3 discusses other strategies such as stratospheric aerosol injection and ocean mirror that help control GHGs’ emission.
