Carbon Mitigation System Engineering

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical, technological, and practical systems of carbon mitigation system engineering developed by the author’s team through long-term research and engineering practice. The book is structured into three sections: Theory, Technology, and Practice. Section I establishes the carbon mitigation system engineering theory, referred to as the “Time-Space-Efficiency-Benefit” (TSEB) coordination theory. Guided by this theory, section II establishes a comprehensive assessment technology system for carbon mitigation pathway design, officially named the China’s Climate Change Integrated Assessment Model (C³IAM). Section III addresses key engineering challenges in Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) projects by employing the TSEB theory and C³IAM model. These challenges encompass project feasibility assessment, site selection, infrastructure planning, schedule management, operational optimization, and risk management. This book is tailored for professionals in carbon neutrality and emission reduction fields, including engineers, government officials, corporate managers, university students, researchers, and other stakeholders interested in climate change and energy system low-carbon transitions, as well as carbon reduction. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
