  • Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage
    SC 17633-2 11/8/05 10:50 AM Page 1 CARBON CARBON CARBONCARBON DIOXIDEDIOXIDE his Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report provides information Tfor policymakers, scientists and engineers in the field of climate change and reduction of CO emissions. It describes sources, capture, transport, and storage of CO . It also discusses the 2 2 CAPTURECAPTURE costs, economic potential, and societal issues of the technology, including public perception and DIOXIDE DIOXIDE regulatory aspects. Storage options evaluated include geological storage, ocean storage, and min- eral carbonation. Notably, the report places CO2 capture and storage in the context of other climate change mitigation options, such as fuel switch, energy efficiency, renewables and nuclear ANDAND STORAGESTORAGE energy. This report shows that the potential of CO2 capture and storage is considerable, and the costs for mitigating climate change can be decreased compared to strategies where only other climate CAPTURE change mitigation options are considered. The importance of future capture and storage of CO2 CAPTURE for mitigating climate change will depend on a number of factors, including financial incentives provided for deployment, and whether the risks of storage can be successfully managed. The vol- ume includes a Summary for Policymakers approved by governments represented in the IPCC, and a Technical Summary. The IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage provides invaluable infor- mation for researchers in environmental science, geology, engineering and the oil and gas sector, policymakers in governments and environmental organizations, and scientists and engineers in AND AND industry.
