Negative Emissions Technologies For Climate Change Mitigation

Download or read book entitled Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation by author: Stephen A. Rackley which was release on 15 November 2021 and published by Elsevier with total page 450 pages . This book available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle Format. Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation provides a comprehensive introduction to the full range of technologies that are being researched, developed, and deployed in order to transition from our current energy system, dominated by fossil fuels, to a negative-carbon emissions system. After an introduction to the challenge of climate change, the technical fundamentals of natural and engineered carbon dioxide removal and storage processes and technologies are described. Each NET is then discussed in detail, including the key elements of the technology, enablers and constraints, governance issues, and global potential and cost estimates. Students, researchers, engineers, and policy makers working in renewable and sustainable energy require a concise but comprehensive treatment of the range of technologies that can deliver negative carbon emissions, with sufficient depth to elucidate the physical, chemical, and biological fundamentals, as well as the breadth to cover both the current mainstream and also the leading edge of R&D (such as bio-mimetic technologies including artificial photosynthesis, electro-geochemistry, etc). Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation offers this complete overview of the field and enables the community to gain a full appreciation of NETs without the need to seek out and refer to a multitude of sources. Covers the full spectrum of technologies to underpin the transition to a negative emissions energy system, from technical fundamentals to the current state of deployment and R&D Critically evaluates each technology, highlighting the relative advantages and limitations, and the potential for large scale environmental applications Combines natural science and environmental science perspectives with the practical use of state-of-the-art technologies for sustainability
