Sinopsis

Carbon Capture Methods offers a comprehensive look at the technologies designed to combat rising carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. This book dives into the science, engineering, and policy surrounding carbon capture, addressing how these methods can be effectively implemented on a global scale. It explores point-source capture, which traps carbon dioxide from industrial sources, and direct air capture, extracting CO2 directly from the atmosphere, highlighting the challenges and potential of each. The book further examines carbon utilization and storage, an often-overlooked part of the carbon cycle, crucial for converting captured carbon into valuable products and safely storing it.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between research and real-world application, systematically analyzing scientific literature, technological advancements, and the economic impacts of carbon capture. Readers gain insights into the historical context of carbon emissions and the environmental impact of the greenhouse effect. Beginning with a scientific foundation on carbon cycles, the book progresses through technological descriptions, efficiency analyses, cost evaluations, and policy recommendations, providing a balanced assessment of various technologies and acknowledging their limitations alongside potential benefits.

 
Ultimately, Carbon Capture Methods argues for a multi-faceted approach, combining technological innovation with thoughtful policy implementation. It draws from environmental science, engineering, and economics to provide an integrated perspective, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing the climate crisis.

The Insect Crisis - The Fall of...

Oliver Milman

From ants scurrying under leaf litter to bees able to fly higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, insects are everywhere. Three out of every four of our planet's known animal species are insects. In The Insect Crisis, Oliver Milman dives into the torrent of recent evidence that suggests this kaleidoscopic group of creatures is suffering the greatest existential crisis in its remarkable 400-million-year history. What is causing the collapse of the insect world? And what can be done to stem the loss of the miniature empires that hold aloft life as we know it? 
 
 
 
Milman explores this hidden emergency, arguing that its consequences could even rival climate change. He joins the scientists tracking the decline of insect populations across the globe, including the mountains of Mexico that host an epic, yet dwindling, migration of monarch butterflies; the verdant countryside of England that has been emptied of insect life; the gargantuan fields of US agriculture that have proved a killing ground for bees; and an offbeat experiment in Denmark that shows there aren't that many bugs splattering into your car windshield these days. These losses not only further tear at the tapestry of life on our degraded planet; they imperil everything we hold dear, from the food on our supermarket shelves to the medicines in our cabinets to the riot of nature that thrills and enlivens us.

Renewable Energy - A Very Short...

Nick Jelley

Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.

Barons - Money Power and the...

Austin Frerick, Eric Schlosser

Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture. Mike benefited from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation's rural towns and local businesses. 
 
 
 
Along with Mike McCloskey, listeners will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil. 
 
 
 
These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it.
