Description: "This book is the first systematic presentation of the technical, legal, and economic forces that must coalesce to deploy carbon dioxide capture and geologic sequestration as a viable technology within a larger CO[subscript 2] reduction strategy. It synthesizes key engineering data and explains the technological, regulatory, and legal conditions that must be in place for carbon sequestration to be deployed. This book offers a system of carbon management that takes into account regulation, cost, risk analysis and geological science. The pratical information in this book is designed for individuals who need to understand the requirements for achieving CO[subscript 2] reduction through carbon capture and sequestration technologies."--Jacket.
