Overview

Biobased Materials in Carbon Capture Applications confronts the urgent challenge of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions through innovative, sustainable solutions. This reference book explores the use of biobased materials—derived from renewable biomass—in CO2 capture, storage, and utilization. By addressing climate change and greenhouse gas mitigation, the text offers a comprehensive overview of current technologies and emerging advancements in biobased CO2 capture. Readers are guided from fundamental principles to practical applications, emphasizing the environmental and economic importance of adopting sustainable alternatives to traditional carbon capture methods. This resource is crafted for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals. Beyond its technical depth, the book delves into performance evaluation methods, hybrid CO2 capture systems, and presents real-world case studies that demonstrate scalability and practical feasibility. It also examines environmental and regulatory implications, investigates future trends, and concludes with actionable recommendations for implementing biobased materials in CO2 emission reduction strategies.
