| Abstract |
A review has been undertaken of selected CO2 capture processes that are of interest to the ETI. The review provides descriptions of the technologies and outline discussion of the energy consumption, costs, percentage capture and development status, based on information in the public domain. The processes selected by the ETI were:- Post combustion capture membranes
- Molten carbonate fuel cells for post combustion capture
- Cryogenic separation (refrigerated and supersonic inertial separation)
- Bi-phasic solvent scrubbing (liquid-liquid and liquid-solid)
- Potassium carbonate scrubbing (pressurised and precipitating)
The performance, costs and status of the capture processes in coal fired power plants are summarised |
