AI-Driven Carbon Capture: Transforming Climate Action offers a comprehensive and critical examination of how AI can accelerate, optimize, and govern carbon capture technologies. The book explains how data-driven methods are being applied to materials discovery, capture-route selection, enzymatic and biohybrid systems, process and storage simulation, energy-efficient operation, transparent environmental accounting, industrial deployment, and risk governance.

The chapters cover: The AI Revolution in Carbon Capture; Carbon Capture Methods and AI Integration; Enzymatic CO2 Capture and Machine Learning; AI-Enhanced Simulation for Carbon Capture and Storage; Energy-Efficient AI for Carbon Capture; Transparent AI: Accounting for Environmental Footprints; AI-Driven Carbon Capture in Case Studies and Industrial Applications; and Risks, Limitations, and Governance in AI-Driven Carbon Capture.

A central strength of the book is its balanced treatment of AI. It presents AI as a powerful enabling layer while showing that credible deployment requires physical validation, lifecycle boundaries, uncertainty quantification, transparent reporting, human authority, and audit-ready climate evidence.

Hua Song, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Calgary, Canada. His research lies at the intersection of catalysis, reaction engineering, sustainable energy and materials, carbon management, methane-assisted transformations, nonthermal plasma catalysis, and AI-enabled catalyst and process design. He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications, contributed to more than 40 domestic and international patents or patent applications, and published multiple books and book chapters. His work has been featured by public and professional media including NPR, UPI, Chemical Engineering Progress, The Chemical Engineer, ScienceDaily, The Columbus Dispatch, the Calgary Herald, and Southern Weekend. Dr. Song has also served as an invited speaker, session chair, editorial board member, and expert reviewer for high-impact journals and professional outlets in energy, catalysis, chemical engineering, and sustainable technology.
