The book "Advances in Carbon Management Technologies" is a comprehensive resource that encompasses 43 chapters, contributed by experts from diverse corners of the world. Volume 1 of this publication, consisting of 23 chapters, delves into the status of technologies capable of achieving significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from major combustion sources. These technologies encompass renewable energy sources that can substitute fossil fuels, as well as innovative approaches to capturing CO2 after fossil fuel combustion or directly from the atmosphere, with the ultimate goal of long-term storage. The introductory chapter serves as a focal point, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the issues surrounding greenhouse gas emissions, the correlation between global temperature and these emissions, the current state-of-the-art of key technologies, and the critical emission reductions required to meet international warming targets.

Section 1 of the book explores the global challenges associated with key fossil fuel mitigation technologies, such as the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and the accurate measurement of emissions. Section 2 presents technological alternatives for coal, petroleum, and natural gas, aimed at reducing the carbon footprints associated with their utilization. Section 3 highlights promising contributions of alternatives to fossil fuels, including hydropower, nuclear power, solar photovoltaics, and wind energy.
