Materials and Processes for Carbon Capture and Sequestration

Materials and Processes for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation

Materials and processes for CO2 capture and utilisation are an essential part of a holistic approach toward a sustainable energy future. CO2 and energy are tightly intertwined as energy produced from fossil fuel combustion always generates CO2. A major environmental concern, CO2 could also become an invaluable resource for making carbon-based materials and chemicals, and a means to store energy...

Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)—known as CCS—has attracted interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground or prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO 2 , such as electricity-gener...

What future for carbon capture and sequestration?

Amid the dire warnings of severe weather perturbations and globally rising temperatures, scientists, engineers, policy makers, and others are searching for ways to reduce the growing threat of climate change. There is no single solution, but the development of carbon capture and sequestration technologies, which has accelerated greatly in the last decade, may play an important role in addressin...

Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS): A Primer

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)—known as CCS—has attracted congressional interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground and prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO 2 , such as el...
