The major greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide (CO2) and the major source of anthropogenic CO2 is fossil fuel combustion. While mitigation measures such as improved energy efficiency and fuel switching to less carbon intensive fuels may suffice in the short-term, there is a high probability that additional mitigation strategies will be needed for stabilization in the longer-term. These longer-term strategies may include the large-scale use of renewable energy, increasing the application of nuclear energy, or recovering CO2 from large stationary sources with the subsequent use or storage of the CO2. This last option is the focus of a series of conferences, the International Conferences on Carbon Dioxide Removal (ICCDR), which are a forum to exchange technical information on CO2 removal, storage, and utilization technologies and to promote research and development in this field.
ICCDR-3 is the third in this series of conferences, the proceedings of which are published in this volume. These proceedings contain 111 papers divided into seven sections. Section 1 contains papers from the invited speakers, who were asked to provide a context for our proceedings. The next five sections address the core technical topics of the conference, namely CO2 removal (Section 2), storage (geological storage in Section 3, ocean storage in Section 4), and utilization (chemical in Section 5 and biological in Section 6). Finally, Section 7 addresses additional topics such as economics, full fuel cycle analysis, policy and implementation issues, and comparisons to other mitigation options.
