According to the recent information, CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere reached 402 ppm at the beginning of 2016. On the other hand, fossil fuels remain as the major source to produce energy. The International Energy Agency estimate that those fuels will remain as the most used source during coming decades.Carbon capture and storage technology is the most promising technology to significantly decrease CO 2 emissions. Nevertheless, it may be possible to use CO 2 as a raw material for other industrial uses. In this chapter, authors explain both ways to decrease CO 2 emissions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
