Engineering Atmospheric Carbon Removal

Volume III: Industrial Deployment, CO₂ Mineralization, and Gigaton-Scale Systems

Capturing carbon dioxide is only the beginning. Permanent atmospheric carbon removal begins when captured CO₂ is transformed into durable, verifiable, and long-term carbon storage.

Engineering Atmospheric Carbon Removal - Volume III completes the engineering journey from atmospheric carbon capture to industrial-scale carbon removal. Building upon the scientific foundations of Volume I and the process engineering developed in Volume II, this volume explores the technologies, infrastructure, and engineering systems required to convert captured carbon dioxide into permanent climate solutions.

From CO₂ compression and supercritical transport to mineralization, geological storage, monitoring, verification, lifecycle assessment, and gigaton-scale deployment, the book presents atmospheric carbon removal as a complete industrial ecosystem rather than a collection of independent technologies. Every chapter connects scientific principles with practical engineering design, revealing how infrastructure, energy systems, process integration, and long-term storage must function together to achieve durable carbon removal.

Rather than focusing solely on Direct Air Capture equipment, this volume examines the engineering challenges that arise after carbon has been captured: conditioning the CO₂ stream, ensuring storage integrity, designing transport infrastructure, validating long-term sequestration, and integrating atmospheric carbon removal into future industrial and energy systems.

• CO₂ compression, purification, and supercritical transport
• Geological storage and subsurface engineering
• CO₂ mineralization and permanent carbon sequestration
• Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV)
• Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) and systems analysis
• Industrial deployment strategies and infrastructure planning
• Engineering pathways toward gigaton-scale atmospheric carbon removal

Written for graduate students, researchers, practicing engineers, geoscientists, energy professionals, and industrial decision-makers, this volume provides a systems-level framework for understanding how atmospheric carbon removal can evolve from individual capture facilities into globally deployable engineering infrastructure.

Whether your interest lies in carbon storage, industrial decarbonization, climate infrastructure, or next-generation carbon removal technologies, this volume explains the engineering principles required to transform atmospheric CO₂ into permanent, measurable, and scalable carbon removal.

Permanent carbon removal is not achieved by capture alone. It is engineered through the complete lifecycle of carbon-from atmosphere to stable storage.
