The Capture and Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide

bullet1 The Technology for Capturing Carbon Dioxide
bullet2 Technologies

bullet3 Post-combustion Capture of CO2: -

Conventional power plant with CO2 capture


Advantages:

    • Applicable to power generation technologies currently in general use
    • Amine-scrubbing e.g. mono-ethanol amine (MEA)
    • Experience >60 years, bears no risk.
    • Mainly in reducing atmosphe

    • In use today, capturing CO2 for soft drinks


Some Challenges: -

    1. High cost and energy
    2. Large equipment size
