Carbon Capture: A Guide to Reducing Emissions
Carbon capture technologies are an essential part of the process of carbon capture. There are several methods of capturing carbon, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.
One of the most commonly used methods of carbon capture is post-combustion capture. This method involves capturing carbon dioxide after it has been emitted from a power plant or an industrial facility. The captured carbon dioxide is then compressed and transported to a storage site.
Another method of carbon capture is pre-combustion capture. This method involves capturing carbon dioxide before it is emitted from a power plant or an industrial facility. In this method, the fuel is gasified, and the resulting gas is treated to remove carbon dioxide before it is burned.
Another method of carbon capture is oxy-fuel combustion. This method involves burning fuel in a mixture of oxygen and recirculated flue gas. The resulting flue gas is rich in carbon dioxide, which can be captured and transported to a storage site.
Carbon capture technologies are still evolving, and new methods are being developed. For example, direct air capture is a method of capturing carbon dioxide directly from the air. This method involves using technologies that can capture and concentrate carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Overall, carbon capture technologies are essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While there are still some challenges to be overcome, these technologies have the potential to play a significant role in mitigating climate change.
