Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technological process consisting of, firstly, the separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial and energy-related sources such as power stations and chemical plants, secondly, its transport to a storage location and, lastly, its long-term underground isolation from the atmosphere. This book contains a series of articles by experts from the worlds of science, policy and industry (including BP). They cover technology, policy and regulatory issues and the market opportunities for CCS. It sets out to present a balanced but compelling case for why CCS is the bridging technology to address climate change and enhance fossil fuel sustainability.
