Over the last decades, fighting global warming has become the most important challenge humanity has to face. Therefore technologies of carbon dioxide capture, sequestration and recycling are equally important in order to tackle the global climate change stakes. Among recycling technologies,...

In this study, we estimate and analyze the CO2 mitigation costs of large-scale biomass-fired cogeneration technologies with CO2 capture and storage. The CO2 mitigation cost indicates the minimum economic incentive required (e.g. in the form of a carbon tax) to make the cost of a less carbon...

This paper presents a novel approach to recover energy from mineral carbonation process, one of the CCS (carbon capture and storage) technologies, to reduce its additional energy demand and reports the feasibility of integrating a carbonation process with an existing power plant for reducing CO2...

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) represents a commercially proven technology available for the combined production of hydrogen and electricity power from coal and heavy residue oils. When associated with CO2 capture and sequestration facilities, the IGCC plant gives an answer to the...

Two novel system configurations were proposed for oxy-fuel natural gas turbine systems with integrated steam reforming and CO2 capture and separation. The steam reforming heat is obtained from the available turbine exhaust heat, and the produced syngas is used as fuel with oxygen as the...

The biggest technical barrier to full scale deployment of absorption technology for post-combustion carbon capture in electric power plants is the high energy consumption for solvent regeneration. This paper presents a new application of ejectors to upgrade external waste heat for the purpose of...

An advanced oxy-fuel hybrid power system (AHPS) is proposed in this paper. Solar thermal energy is used in the AHPS to produce saturated steam as the working fluid, and natural gas is internally combusted with pure oxygen. It is in configuration close to the zero emission Graz cycle. The...

A novel methanol-based power system with Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC) is proposed in this paper. CLC system is a promising approach to greatly decrease the energy penalty for CO2 removal, where iron oxides circulate between two reactors and an inherent CO2 separation occurs. The combustion...

A concept of coal-fired power plant built around a supercritical CO2 Brayton power cycle and 90% post-combustion CO2 capture have been designed. The power cycle has been adapted to the coal-fired boiler thermal output, this boiler has been roughly designed in order to assess the power cycle...

This paper presents part-load evaluation of a natural gas-fired chemical looping combustion (CLC) combined cycle with CO2 capture. The novel combined cycle employs an air-based gas turbine, a CO2-turbine and a steam turbine cycle. In this combined cycle, the CLC reactors replace combustion...
