CO2 Capture from Industrial Point Sources

Carbon dioxide capture and sequestration are key components of all realistic climate change mitigation strategies. Power generation from fossil fuels and industrial processes such as cement and steel manufacturing produce large amounts of carbon dioxide at fixed locations and in relatively concentrated form. Capture of carbon dioxide from these sources is a logical first step in the process of reducing overall carbon release. The session is focused on reporting of novel carbon capture materials, devices, process analysis, and case studies of carbon capture systems for power generation and point sources from industrial manufacturing.
