As the world faces the urgent need to combat climate change, "CO2 Geosequestration: Capturing Carbon for a Sustainable Future" provides a comprehensive solution on carbon dioxide storage in geological media, and utilization to reduce the CO2 from the atmosphere. This book serves as a guide to understanding the science and technology for carbon dioxide geosequestration. In this engaging guide, the author delves into innovative methods and processes designed to securely store CO2 emissions from various sources. With a focus on environmental sustainability, the book explores the geological storage of carbon dioxide in depleted oil and gas reservoirs, coal, shale, saline aquifers, basalt, and other underground formations, ensuring that this remains safely sequestered for the long term.
Through a blend of real-world case studies, cutting-edge research, and expert insights, CO2 Geosequestration highlights the potential of this technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of industries worldwide. From the basics of carbon capture to the intricate details of monitoring and verification, this book offers an in-depth look at the challenges, opportunities, and prospects of CO2 geosequestration. Whether you are a scientist, engineer, policymaker, or environmentally conscious individual, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding the fundamental principles and potential benefits of geosequestration in the fight against climate change. Join us on a journey toward a sustainable future where carbon capture and geosequestration play critical roles in protecting our planet for generations to come.
