Partial oxy-combustion is proposed as a new carbon capture concept based on the use of oxygen-enriched air as an oxidizer instead of air during the combustion stage followed by a CO2 chemical absorption. This novel approach has showed potential advantages compared with other CCS technologies that may lead to a further reductions of the energy...

Chemical absorption is the most effective and mature post-combustion alternative that might be applied for carbon capture in fossilfuel power plants and other energy-intensive industries such as cement production, refineries and iron and steel manufacturing. In respect to the cement production, inherent CO2 emissions produced during the...

The reduction of CO2 emissions from anthropogenic sources in this century will require a higher reliance on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Post-combustion based on a regenerative chemical absorption is considered a mature and close-to-market option in near and mid-term. However, the high energy penalty related to solvent...

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are considered the major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The mitigation of this kind of CO2 emissions relies on a portfolio of alternatives where CO2 absorption appears as the nearest approach to be applied at industrial scale. Researchers have been focused on developing new formulations of...
