Carbon Capture
Howard J. Herzog, Carbon Capture (MIT Press, 2018)
Summary: A worthy contribution to the debates raging on energy and climate change. Perfect for the layman in its technical explanation of carbon capture technology and the challenges of utilization and storage. Readable, concise, not too heavy, and not frivolous.
Key Quote: "Since technological change is so hard to predict, a good approach is to support a diverse portfolio of technologies, in the way people manage their money by having a diverse portfolio of investments. Arguing that renewables can do it alone is a very risky proposition. Do we want to put all of our eggs in one basket?" - p. 166
Bottom Line: Read this book if you've heard of "carbon capture," have a vague idea what it is, and want to learn a little bit more.
