Carbon Capture and Its Storage

Climate change is arguably the most important environmental issue that the world currently faces. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) offers the possibility of significant reductions in the volume of CO2 released into the atmosphere in the near to medium term. As a fairly new technology that has not been widely adopted there remain some uncertainties related to both viability and desirability. This book discusses the key issues with regard to technical and legal feasibility economic viability and public and stakeholder perceptions. It also provides recommendations for policy and future research.
