Carbon capture and storage (CCS), when applied to biomass cofiring systems, can remove atmospheric CO2 since the CO2 that is consumed by the biomass during growth is not released back into the atmosphere. Biomass cofiring can also potentially contribute to meeting renewable portfolio standards...

Environmental damage due to the emission of greenhouse gases from conventional coal-based power plants is a growing concern. Various carbon capture strategies to minimize CO2 emissions are currently being investigated. Unfortunately, the efficiency drop due to de-carbonization is still...

Oxy-fuel circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) is an alternate technology to oxy-fuel pulverized combustion (PC), which has a number of advantages that can often make it a better choice for CO2 capture. This paper presents experimental results and operating experiences from a 0.8MWth...

Oxy-fuel technology is one of the potential solutions to reduce CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. Although vendors offer a “retrofit package,” to the best of our knowledge there has not been a study undertaken that looks at the technical and economic viability of oxy-fuel...
