GHG emissions in industrial activities: The role of technologies for their management and reduction

To deal with the problem of the Climate System Change and the Global Warming, countries as well industries require to decrease the amount of CO2 emissions released globally by developing greener technologies and improving the use of renewable energies. The role of the research, in particular process engineering, is to develop and demonstrate technologies in order to protect the world from the current deterioration situation, which could potentially develop more frequent natural disasters, raising in the sea level and cause harm to the human health and ecosystems. The Chemical Engineering group at Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering of Pisa University has been involved in several projects concerning carbon reduction and emission from energy production in different Sectors, in collaboration with public and private organizations and international networks. The research topics have been briefly reviewed and objectives for further studies have been identified.
