EDITORIAL REVIEWS Product Description This unique electronic book on two CD-ROMs has the finest collection of federal documents and resources available anywhere about carbon sequestration, capturing carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants to help prevent global warming from greenhouse gases. The Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) manages laboratory and field R&D focused on technologies with great potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and controlling global climate change. Most efforts focus on capturing carbon dioxide from large stationary sources such as power plants, and sequestering it using geologic, terrestrial ecosystem, or oceanic approaches. Control of fugitive methane emissions is also addressed. Carbon sequestration work directly implements the President's Global Climate Change Initiative, as well as several National Energy Policy goals targeting the development of new technologies. It also supports the goals of the Framework Convention on Climate Change and other international collaborations to reduce greenhouse gas intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. The programmatic timeline is to demonstrate a portfolio of safe, cost effective greenhouse gas capture, storage, and mitigation technologies at the commercial scale by 2012, leading to substantial deployment and market penetration beyond 2012. These greenhouse gas mitigation technologies will help slow greenhouse gas emissions in the near-term. They also provide potential for ultimately stabilizing and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. NETL-funded activities in carbon sequestration include: l Core research and development. In its core R&D efforts, NETL focuses on developing new sequestration technologies and approaches to the point of pre-commercial deployment. Primary objectives are (1) lowering the cost and energy penalty associated with CO2 capture from large point sources, and (2) improving understanding of factors affecting ! CO2 storage permanence, capacity, and safety in geologic formations and terrestrial ecosystems. Funded research activities address: carbon dioxide capture; carbon storage; monitoring, mitigation, and verification; and fugitive methane control. The NETL portfolio also includes breakthrough R&D that furthers revolutionary and transformational sequestration concepts with potential for low cost, permanence, and large global capacity. Regional carbon sequestration partnerships. On behalf of DOE, NETL manages seven regional carbon sequestration partnerships. These partnerships engage state agencies, universities, and private companies to create a nationwide network that will help determine the best approaches for capturing and permanently storing greenhouse gases. Documents reproduced include: Carbon Sequestration Technology Roadmap; Carbon Sequestration Program Outreach Plan; DOE-Advances Commercialization of Climate Change Technology; Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships Program, and much more. Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons. It is the most abundant fossil fuel produced in the United States. Over 90 percent of the coal used in the United States is used to generate electricity. It's also used as a basic energy source in many industries, including, steel, cement and paper. This CD-ROM is packed with over 13,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems. The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. Our news and educational discs are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapid SIMILAR PRODUCTS 21st Century Essential Guide to Clean Coal Technology: FutureGen Power Plant, Pollution Control, Gasification, Hydrogen Production, Carbon Dioxide and Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Two CD-ROM Set) by U.S. Government Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage: Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change by IPCC Carbon Capture and Sequestration Integrating Technology, Monitoring, Regulation by Elizabeth Wilson, David Gerard Geological Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide, Volume 11: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Reaction Path Modeling (Developments in Geochemistry) by Luigi Marini Carbon Capture And Its Storage: An Integrated Assessment (Ashgate Studies in Environmental Policy and Practice) (Ashgate Studies in Environmental Policy ... in Environmental Policy and Practice) by Simon Shackley, Clair Gough
