Request a sales quoteAdvances 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.
Carbon Dioxide Conversion to Chemicals and Energy provides a beneficial strategy to control the rise of GHGs in the atmosphere and their conversion into valuable materials such as chemical and energy carriers. The book touches on concepts about the conversion of carbon dioxide, which is the main GHG. This two-section volume provides applications of carbon dioxide and the chemical processes employed to fabricate a host of materials. Each section reviews a process in detail and surveys the economic assessments, cost analysis, environmental impacts and challenges, recent advances and new concepts, and the largest operating plants and pilots for carbon conversion.
- Introduces different applications of carbon dioxide
- Includes environmental challenges and economic assessment of carbon capture and utilization
- Describes various chemicals produced from CO2
Researchers in academia, students and professors in chemical engineering, oil and gas engineering, and mechanical engineering Refinery and petrochemical engineers, Energy producers and utilities, Power generation plants, Extractive companies, Process design companies, Oil, gas and petrochemical industries
