Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage: Using Natural Resources for Sustainable Development presents the technologies associated with bioenergy and CCS and its applicability as an emissions reduction tool. The book explores existing climate policies and current carbon capture and storage technologies. Sections offer an overview of several routes to use biomass and produce bioenergy through processes with low or even negative CO2 emissions. Associated technology and the results of recent research studies to improve the sustainability of the processes are described, pointing out future trends and needs. This book can be used by bioenergy engineering researchers in industry and academia and by professionals and researchers in carbon capture and storage.

• Presents the most recent technologies in use and future trends in research and policy
• Examines the bioenergy production and biomass processing value chains, including biorefining, negative emission technologies and the use of microalgae
• Includes techno-economic analysis and sustainability assessment of the technologies discussed, as well as an overview of the latest research results
