Description:

The core of the book focuses on the most advanced CO2 capture technologies

including absorption, adsorption, and membranes. The book also includes chapters

on algae and electrochemical/photocatalytic CO2-to-fuel conversion processes. The

reduction of CO2 via photosynthesis or electrochemical/photo catalysis are routes

to alternative fuels. Along with climate change, the development of alternatives to

crude oil for transportation fuels will be a strong drive of policy. These two drivers

are likely to remain present for a long time, with indeterminate relative weights. An

additional motivation for including these topics is the vision that one day they may

be advanced to the extent that CCS can take place in a single process, rather than the

current three-step sequence of capture, compression, and storage. The book does not

discuss geological storage of CO2, but focuses solely on methods of capture.
