A review on the advanced techniques used for the capturing and storage of co2 from Fossil Fuel Power Plants

Abstract

This paper presents an overview of research related to carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) from fossil fuels power plants. Nowadays, the CO2 emission in the atmosphere increases, and it causes the climate changes deadly. According to the United States of Department of Energy’s (USDOE) Carbon Sequestration Program, CO2 captured and storage (CCS) is receiving considerable attention as the potential GHG mitigation option for fossil fuels power plant. The GHG CO2 emits from the burning of fossil fuels like coals, which are the main source of power generation. Due to the high burning efficiency of coal, it is irreplaceable in power plant. There are mainly three technological ways for CO2 capture from power plant: Post-combustion, pre-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion. This paper gives a complete review on the recent technologies used for the capturing and storing of CO2 emission from fossil fuels that can be recycled for the generation of energy.
