Circular Economy Processes for CO2 Capture and Utilization: Strategies and Case-Studies presents an innovative resource or integrating carbon capture, storage and utilization into the sustainable circular economy of the future. Split into two parts, the book offers readers a grounding in the fundamentals of the circular economy and the potential contribution of CCS. Strategies for implementing CCS into a circular economy are explained, with benefits and limitations analyzed. The book then offers a gallery of case studies from the newest research in the area, allowing readers to access lessons learned and critical considerations for integrating CCS into the circular economy.

Marrying theory and practice for a holistic perspective, this book offers readers an essential guide to theorizing and implementing a sustainable future economy that utilizes the full potential of carbon capture.
