"Version: 20180701"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references (pages 37-45).Introduction -- Background -- Do we really need CCS? -- Microeconomics applied to CCS -- Where is CO2 emitted and from where can it be captured? -- Why does CCS reduce efficiency? -- Separation technology -- CO2 transport, compression and conditioning -- CO2 storage -- Containment and other challenges -- Leakage pathways and Portland cement -- Monitoring -- Induced seismicity -- Remediation plans -- Ocean storage -- Current directions -- Scaling up CCS -- Fundamental physics -- New capture technologies -- Making the political and economic case -- Outlook.Is carbon capture and storage (CCS) the technology that could be key to slowing climate change or an expensive diversion? Few people are aware that we already have the technology to remove most of the carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuelled power and industry. This same technology is needed to deliver the negative emissions called for in almost all integrated assessment models. Collectively, this rather prosaic and unexciting technology is termed Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS--or Bio-energy with CCS, BECCS, when delivering negative emissions. This short book describes the technology, and takes a brief look at some of the reasons why society is not yet urgently reaching for it.Final-year undergraduates, new PhD students and early-career scientists.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Since the beginning of 2009 Owain has worked at the forefront of CCS, performing the subsurface modelling and later leading the team that aimed to redevelop the depleted Goldeneye gas field in the North Sea as a CO2 store. At the same time, he took on a role as the Global Deployment Lead for CO2 storage in Shell, and as such worked closely with the team in Canada who developed the Quest industrial CCS project that has been injecting over one million tonnes of CO2 each year since Owain's birthday in 2015 (a complete coincidence, but a nice one). Owain works at the interface of academic research into CO2 storage and the development of new CO2 storage projects. He is involved with the UK CCS research council, the Scottish Centre of Carbon Capture and Storage, the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative, and the Carbon Capture and Utilisation technical section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers as well as many joint industry research projects. He has worked in Shell for over twenty years as a reservoir engineer, eBusiness consultant, economist and now CO2 storage lead. Though, he did jump ship for a brief spell at McKinsey & Company in strategy consulting. His early training is in physics and geophysics, from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa; followed by a DPhil in experimental solid state physics at Oxford.Title from PDF title page (viewed on August 8, 2018).
