Over the past decade, the prospect of climate change resulting from anthropogenic CO 2 has become a matter of growing public concern. Not only is the reduction of CO 2 emissions extremely important, but keeping the cost at a manageable level is a prime priority for companies and the public, alike.The CO 2 capture project (CCP) came together with a common goal in mind: find a technological process to capture CO 2 emissions that is relatively low-cost and able be to be expanded to industrial applications. The Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Project outlines the research and findings of all the participating companies and associations involved in the CCP. The final results of thousands of hours of research are outlined in the book, showing a successful achievement of the CCP's goals for lower cost CO 2 capture technology and furthering the safe, reliable option of geological storage. The Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Project is a valuable reference for any scientists, industrialists, government agencies, and companies interested in a safer, more cost-efficient response to the CO 2 crisis.*Succeeds in tackling the most important issues at the heart of the CO 2 crisis: lower-cost and safer solutions, and making the technology available at an industrial level.*Contains technical papers and findings of all researchers involved in the CO 2 capture and storage project (CCP)*Consolidates thousands of hours of research into a concise and valuable reference work, providing up-to-the minute information on CO 2 capture and underground storage alternatives.
