CCS technology reduces the carbon footprint of power plants by capturing and storing the CO2 emissions from burning fossil-fuels and biomass. This volume provides a comprehensive reference on the state of the art research, development and demonstration of carbon capture technology in the power sector and in industry. It critically reviews the range of post- and pre-combustion capture and combustion-based capture processes and technology applicable to fossil-fuel power plants, as well as applications of CCS in other high carbon footprint industries.
- Foreword written by Lord Oxburgh, Climate Science Peer
- Reviews the economics, regulation and planning of carbon capture and storage for power plants and industry
- Explores developments in combustion processes and technologies for CO2 capture in power plants
Professionals and managers in the power sector and related industries; Academics and researchers in this important field
