Preface

Unplanned industrialization is compromising environmental sustainability, creating harmful effects on fauna and flora as well as causing innumerable diseases in humans. There is no doubt that economic growth depends heavily on the transportation and manufacturing industries, both of which are major sources of carbon emissions. As such, the question arises of how to control and mitigate carbon emissions without suffering a decline in economic development.

Carbon capture and storage is a climate change mitigation technology in which CO2 is captured from power plants and other industrial processes instead of emitted to the atmosphere. Green practices in business operations, such as ecological design, green manufacturing, green transportation systems, and renewable energy and recycling techniques, can efficiently reduce pollution and waste.

This book is unique, as other books about pollution and carbon primarily focus on the global scale and emphasize environmental problems. This book, however, discusses carbon and environmental issues at domestic levels, highlights environmental problems, and provides solutions for controlling carbon emissions. Written by distinguished researchers from prestigious universities, chapters include case studies from real-world events that challenge the brightest minds.
