Description - Clean Energy, Climate and Carbon by Peter J. Cook
Outlining the challenge in decreasing greenhouse gas emissions (specifically CO2) given the nature of its industrial and energy base. It will do this in a global context with an emphasis on Australia, New Zealand and the Asia- Pacific Region. It covers the range of technologies involved in geosequestration including costs, what we know, what we don't know, etc. It also considers application of the technology and the control that geology exerts on sequestration options. A key issue is community acceptance of the technology and therefore the risks involved in the technology -- and the risk of doing nothing is discussed. The work contains a large number of diagrams to explain complex ideas and particularly to illustrate the unfamiliar world of the subsurface and how fluids such as CO2 behave in the subsurface. The book is targeted towards a readership of undergraduate students and an interested/informed audience concerned about climate change.
