Advances in Carbon Capture and Utilization

The book focuses on the recent trends in carbon management and up-to-date information on different carbon management strategies that lead to manage increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. It addresses the need for an understanding of sustainable carbon dioxide management technologies, mainly focused on minimizing carbon dioxide emission from sources, maximizing environmentally sound recuse, reduce and recycling, emerging technology toward carbon dioxide mitigation, and converting carbon dioxide into valuable products form sustainable use. Other books related to carbon management attempt to cover the carbon capture and sequestration, carbon mineralization, utilization and storage, but this book also covers all physical, chemical and biological process for long-term capture, removal and sequestration of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for sustainable management.

The increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has become a significant concern, leading to widespread political, social, and trade discussions. The mean global average earth temperature has risen by 0.6°C since the second half of the century, with a rate of 0.17°C/decade. According to data from the Global Institute for Science and Security (GISS) in 2017, the temperature has increased by 0.9°C (1.62°F) above the 1951-1980 mean global temperature. The World Meteorological Organization has analyzed past temperature records and found that the past 10 years have been the warmest, with an average temperature of 1.1°C above the preindustrial level.

In response to this pressing issue, carbon management strategies have gained prominence in recent years. These strategies aim to minimize carbon dioxide emissions from various sources, maximize environmentally sound recuse, reduce, and recycling, explore emerging technology for carbon dioxide mitigation, and convert carbon dioxide into valuable products for sustainable use. While other books related to carbon management discuss topics such as carbon capture and sequestration, carbon mineralization, utilization, and storage, this book specifically focuses on the management of carbon dioxide for sustainable development.

Furthermore, this book goes beyond the traditional approaches and covers all physical, chemical, and biological processes for long-term capture, removal, and sequestration of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It provides comprehensive insights into the latest developments and technologies in this field, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals. By addressing the need for sustainable carbon dioxide management, this book contributes to the efforts to mitigate climate change and promote a greener and more sustainable future.
