Reihe: Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book delves into how carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies might help accelerate the worldwide transition to sustainable energy while meeting Paris Agreement targets. This comprehensive handbook examines how governments, businesses, and society may effectively implement CCUS programs to cut carbon emissions and promote economic development.

The book begins with basic ideas and exposes readers to CCUS technologies and their critical role in reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. It investigates successful CCUS installations from various countries and suggests prospects for host governments and energy firms.

The book combines technical innovation and carbon neutrality initiatives, while also addressing regulatory frameworks and normative factors that are critical for wider acceptance. With climate change mitigation at its core, the book offers pragmatic recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders on how to employ CCUS for sustainable development, making it a valuable resource for environmental researchers, energy professionals, and policymakers working toward a low-carbon economy.
