1、Carbon Dioxide Emission:24 billion tons per yearCARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGECarbon capture and storage is mostly used to describe methods for removing CO2 emissions from large stationary sources,such as electricity generation and some industrial processes,and storing it away from the atmosphere.Carbon
2、 Capture TechnologyPost-combustion captureReact the flue gas with chemicals that absorb CO2 and then heat the chemicals to release CO2.NOTE:Flue gas:Mixture of nitrogen,water vapor and 15%of Carbon dioxide.Carbon Capture Technology Oxy-fuel combustionUse pure oxygen to support the fossil fuel combus
3、tion.The flue gas is then mostly CO2 and water making it to separate easily.Carbon Capture TechnologyPre-combustion captureRemove carbon before combustion.By gasifying the coal through the reaction with more oxygen,it is possible to a mix of mostly CO2 and hydrogen.Transportation Many point sources
