Book Description
An interdisciplinary guide to carbon capture across technology, policy, and economics
Of the approximately 36 billion tons of CO2 emitted annually, only about 40 million tons are currently captured and stored, highlighting a critical gap in global decarbonization efforts. Carbon Capture and Environmental Sustainability: Pathways to a Low-Carbon Future provides an integrated perspective on carbon capture technologies, climate science, carbon footprint analysis, and their integration with renewable energy systems and digitalization-driven energy optimization.
The book goes beyond technical fundamentals to examine the economic, policy, social, and cultural factors that influence the deployment and scalability of carbon capture solutions. It combines engineering-based analysis with accessible discussion of how these broader dimensions shape real-world energy transition pathways. Readers gain the tools to evaluate emerging carbon capture technologies and assess real-world sustainability of proposed climate solutions.
The book also covers:
- How digitalization and energy optimization strategies enhance the efficiency and scalability of carbon capture and storage operations
- Policy frameworks and regulatory mechanisms that drive or constrain adoption of carbon capture at national and international levels
- Social and cultural factors influencing public acceptance, community and stakeholder engagement with decarbonization projects across different regions
- Economic analysis of carbon capture deployment costs, funding models, and market incentives supporting low-carbon energy transitions
- Integration of carbon capture with renewable energy systems to enhance overall emissions reduction
Written for engineers, energy-sector professionals, researchers, graduate students, and sustainability practitioners, this book provides a practical, interdisciplinary foundation for understanding how carbon capture and sustainability strategies operate across technical, societal, and economic domains, enabling informed decision-making in decarbonization efforts.
