Greenhouse Gas Carbon Dioxide Mitigation Science and Technology

About this book

Scientific and engineering research on how to reduce CO2 emissions has been quietly continuing now for several years. This new book by two of the world's leading experts on CO2 will bring to the professinal and academic reader alike the recent fruits of that research. While Professor Halmann will offer new insights into the typical chemical pathways for both CO2 formation and ways to circumvent that formation, Meyer Steinberg will offer real-life engineering solutions that can be applied to a host of industrial processes that typically produce large CO2 emissions. The book will provide an invaluable road-map for how the industrialized world can scientifically shift its industrial and commercial processes away from carbon-rich bases to carbon-poor bases, and gain both environmentally and economically as a result.
