Carbon Management for the Global Metals Industries

This book is one of the first of its kind to assess the current situation of carbon management for global metals industries. It outlines methods being currently used and suggests new ways to mitigate or minimize the carbon footprint,
thereby enhancing the social, economic and environmental sustainability of the global metals industry. Metal industries leave a large carbon foot print during their manufacturing as they employ very energy intensive processing steps, releasing varieties and amounts of green house gases. Topics discussed include the role of green house gases (GHG), generation of GHG, mitigation and minimization strategies, and the economic and legal considerations.
