Riassunto

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.

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr. José Carlos Magalhães Pires is a Senior Researcher at the University of Porto, Portugal. He holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering from the same institution and has over 18 years of experience in teaching and research within the fields of environmental sciences and process systems engineering. His research interests include process modeling and optimization, sustainable microalgal cultivation strategies, bioreactor design, and the applications of microalgae in water treatment, CO2 capture and bioenergy production.

Ana Luisa da Cunha Gonçalves graduated in Bioengineering (Biological Engineering Branch) by Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto in 2012. In 2013, she started her PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering at FEUP. The PhD, entitled Microalgal cultivation for biomass production, CO2 capture and nutrients uptake, aimed the optimization of culturing conditions of microalgae and cyanobacteria in laboratory and pilot scale to improve both CO2 capture and nutrients uptake from the culture medium. Before finishing the PhD, she worked for 9 months as Wet Biomass Production Manager in a microalgal production company. Currently, Dr. Gonçalves is a postdoctoral researcher in the TexBoost project at CITEVE and also an external researcher at LEPABE-FEUP. AL Gonçalves published 20 papers in international peer reviewed journals, 2 book chapters and her research work was discussed in 10 international meetings.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage presents a realistic outlook on the technologies associated with bioenergy and CCS and its applicability as an emissions reduction tool. The book explores existing climate policies and the carbon capture and storage technologies actually in use. It then offers an overview of the 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 research needs.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage can be used by bioenergy engineering researchers in industry and academia for the development of new technologies of bioenergy production with carbon capture and storage. Its coverage of a broad range of topics in this area makes it a useful technology guide for professionals and researchers working in carbon capture and storage. Researchers can also easily access the current status of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage technologies, the main research projects and outputs and the key challenges to be surpassed, which can be very important in the definition of future directions of their research activities. For practitioners in this area, this book provides the most recent information on climate policies and the most recent advances on carbon capture and storage technologies, which can be very useful in the design of new strategies to achieve current legal demands.
