Description: It is becoming feasible to take carbon dioxide from power stations and industry, and lock it away safely before it can enter the atmosphere. But can carbon capture compete with other low-carbon technologies, is it safe and environmentally-friendly, and will people and governments accept it? This book examines the need for carbon capture.

Review Quotes: "Capturing Carbon is outstanding. It is well structured, informative, comprehensive, balanced, and readable. It could--and certainly should--have a wide audience. Its layout is more akin to popular science books, yet it is more scholarly than other works published recently on climate change and associated phenomena. I certainly recommend it."--Jon Gluyas, Professor of Geoenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage, University of Durham

"The most comprehensively researched and well-written discussion of climate change and carbon capture and storage (CCS) that I have read. This book lays out the facts and argues the case for large-scale deployment of CCS in terms accessible to all. A must read for all those wanting access to and engagement with this subject matter."--Paul Bryant, director, Hydrogen Power Abu Dhabi (HPAD)

"An excellent introduction to the subject that would quickly get the interested reader up to speed and enable them to have all the facts at their disposal."--Carbon Capture Journal
