A new weapon is emerging to help us fight climate change. It is
becoming feasible to take carbon dioxide from power stations and
industry, and lock it away safely before it can enter the
atmosphere. In the next few years, major demonstration programmes
will start up in the USA, EU and elsewhere. But can carbon capture
compete with other low-carbon technologies, is it safe and
environmentally-friendly, and will people and governments accept
it? "Capturing Carbon" examines the need for carbon capture, and
the technologies, existing and emerging, that make it work. It
describes geological storage and, uniquely, compares it to
biological carbon sequestration in soils and forests. It looks at
the costs, the economics, and how big a contribution carbon capture
can make to avoiding dangerous climate change. It covers the
policies that need to be in place, the public reaction, and the
opportunities for business. Finally, it gives a hard-headed
description of the risks of carbon capture projects. The book is
the first comprehensive yet accessible study of the subject. It is
a vital resource for environmentalists, policy-makers, investors,
academics, industry specialists and anyone else wishing to
understand this fast-moving field.
