The climate is changing, the average temperature on Earth is rising, the EU is concerned and Poland is developing. Despite the fact that the country is trying to make up economically for lost time under Communism, it still has to comply with a demanding EU climate policy. The task is not easy, particularly keeping in mind how heavily coal-dependent the Polish economy is. Consequently, Carbon Capture and Storage (CSS) appears to be a perfect solution. However, the closer the technology is examined, the more its charm fades away. This paper analyzes CCS technology in terms of the likelihood of its application in Poland. After placing CCS in the European context, examining attitudes held by Polish stakeholders, reviewing the Polish public debate, and scrutinizing Polish society’s beliefs about the technology, the paper concludes that chances for CCS implementation in Poland are virtually nonexistent.

Carbon capture and sequestration (or storage)-known as CCS-has attracted congressional interest as a measure for mitigating global climate change because large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from fossil fuel use in the United States are potentially available to be captured and stored underground and prevented from reaching the atmosphere. Large, industrial sources of CO2, such as electricity-generating plants, are likely initial candidates for CCS because they are predominantly stationary, single-point sources. Electricity generation contributes over 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions from fos

Global climate change is intensifying and is increasingly recognized as a major challenge that requires an urgent response from scientists and other communities. Reducing the emission of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide, is an essential process to mitigate climate change. This book addresses the latest carbon management approaches that will combat the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It provides a comprehensive review of the physical, chemical, and biological processes of carbon sequestration. Chapters discuss carbon capture, storage, utilization, and chemistry, as well as the geomechanical aspects of carbon sequestration.

Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilization explores advanced technologies based on CO2 utilization. The book provides an overview on the conversion and utilization of CO2, extraction techniques, heterogeneous catalysis, green solvent, industrial approaches, and commodity products through energy-intensive processes. In addition, it highlights lifecycle assessment and biological and engineering strategies for CO2 utilization. Each chapter presents challenges in the processes and future perspectives for the application of CO2 conversion and utilization.
