Coal fired power plants are responsible for a significant amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
Category: Capture
Opportunities for large scale capture of carbon dioxide exist in electricity production, manufacturing and industrial processes.
Category: Capture
High pressure superheated steam from a coal-fired furnace drives the steam turbines that produce electricity.
Category: Capture
Expansion of gas in the combustion chamber drives the turbines to produce electricity.
Category: Capture
Flue gases pass through a solvent that preferentially absorbs carbon dioxide.
Category: Capture
Carbon dioxide diffuses through a membrane and is absorbed by the solvent.
Category: Capture
Carbon dioxide passes through the membrane more easily than other gases.
Category: Capture
The gas is cooled and only carbon dioxide condenses. The rest of the gas is vented to the atmosphere.
