Opis

This book emphasizes carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) with special focus on methods for each component of the strategy. It details technologies available for utilization of CO2, showing how it can be a valuable renewable source for chemicals, materials, fuels, and power instead of a waste material damaging the environment.
