Climate change is a huge challenge to humanity in the 21th century. In view of China's recent pledge to the international community to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, this book examines climate mitigation and adaptation efforts in China t…
This book presents a solutions based approach to reducing and removing CO2 from the atmosphere transforming it into solid (crystalline) CaCO3 through the ability of marine organisms such as molluscs, crustacea, corals, and coccolithophore algae. The overwhelming advantage of thi…
This contributed volume analyses and discusses how atmospheric carbon emissions can be prevented using carbon capture and removal technology and how renewable energies can be used to reduce carbon emissions. Both approaches have their disadvantages. First of all, both involve hi…
"As of 2021, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached historically unprecedented levels, higher than at any time in the past 800,000 years. Worldwide efforts to reduce emissions by creating a more efficient, carbon-free energy system may not be enough to stabilize the clim…
A research strategy for ocean-based carbon dioxide removal and sequestration
by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.)., Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.), Ocean Studies Board, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (U.S.)., Committee on a Research Strategy for Ocean-based Carbon Dioxide Removal and Sequestration
"This is a report on a research agenda to better inform future societal decisions on ocean CDR [carbon dioxide removal]; the Committee is not advocating either for or against possible future ocean CDR deployments, and the Committee recognizes that ocean CDR would, at best, compl…
Significant reduction of local, regional, national and international greenhouse gas emissions in homes, businesses, industries and communities has become an international priority. This book describes in clear, concise, and understandable terms the nature and scope of the climat…
