Post-combustion Carbon Capture, Storage, and Utilization

Abstract

Deployment of carbon capture, storage, and utilization technologies worldwide from the CO2 emission point source is a strategy that has been proposed to address the challenge of climate change and global warming. As a viable option for reducing CO2 emissions, moving carbon capture and storage technology to incorporate “utilization” (carbon capture and utilization) has received dramatically global attention. This chapter provides an overview of various types of carbon capture, storage, and utilization technologies. After that, one of the carbon capture and utilization technologies, i.e., microalgae pond systems, is illustrated in detail. The principles of microalgae open pond systems, key parameters affecting productivity, and economic considerations of operating open ponds are systematically illustrated.
