"… describes the importance of coal for generating electricity, the need to reduce carbon emissions, and the processes for capturing, transporting, injecting, and storing carbon dioxide in geological formations… illustrates the significance of electricity in people's lives and in economic development by focusing on India, China, and South Africa,… Summing Up: Recommended." --CHOICE, July 1, 2014 "..breaks across traditional barriers among history, geology, biology and climate change to address the topic from a multidisciplinary, Earth System Science approach. If you’re a policymaker or someone who influences policy, this book will explain carbon capture and storage-a relatively new concept- in easy-to-understand terms." --GeoQ, March 2014 "Stephenson argues for carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an important tool in stabilizing the environment while reducing CO2 emissions.…Though the book makes use of some technical symbols and makes quantitative arguments using available data, the conceptual basis of climate change and CCS technology is explained in conversational prose that opens the book to nontechnical readers." --ProtoView.com, January 2014 "5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review of an important topic 3 Jan 2014 By Dr. P. Styles Format:Paperback
Carbon capture and storage is one of the main carbon emissions policy issues globally, yet you may know little about it if you’re outside the academic community. As the global push to address the impact that carbon emissions has on global warming continues, awareness and knowledge of viable solutions must be communicated in layperson terms. Returning Coal and Carbon To Nature breaks across traditional barriers among history, geology, biology and climate change to address the topic from a multidisciplinary, Earth System Science approach. If you’re a policymakeror someone who influences policy, this book will explain carbon capture and storage—a relatively new concept—in easy-to-understand terms. Clearly presented charts, tables and diagrams explain critical concepts, and a range of full-color photographs will help you visualize the carbon capture and storage process and its principles.
