Managing carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the use of fossil fuels is a major concern for the development of sustainable energy infrastructures in the future. It is a transdisciplinary challenge involving engineering, physical and social science as well as policy and legal issues. Carbon capture and storage has been widely recognized as an important set of technologies for managing carbon. This class will introduce major new technologies to capture carbon dioxide from new or retro--·fitted power plants, from other emissions occurring in industrial processes, and ultimately the capture of carbon dioxide from ambient air, to deal with emissions that have no other solution. In addition to basic science and engineering challenges of each technology, the full spectrum of economic, environmental, regulatory, and political/policy aspects, and their implication for regional and global carbon management strategies of the future will be discussed.Ò
