Carbon Management

Amine-based chemisorption of CO 2 is a promising near term option for the decarbonisation of large, fixed-point CO 2 emission sources [1] . However, the operational expenditure (OPEX) associated with this technology imposes a significant energy penalty on the power plant. As it is the solvent which...

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is widely regarded as an effective medium-term CO 2 abatement technology. However, high cost of the capture technologies, at their current state of the art, and the huge upfront costs of the CO 2 transport pipelines and storage facilities are hindering the large-...

Carbon, capture, and storage technologies are a promising option that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and power generation facilities while enhancing the energy security of the United States. The U.S. DOE National Energy Technology Laboratory is implementing the federal...

Today’s chemical industry is very complex with most commodity chemicals being produced from some variation of petroleum feedstocks. From transportation fuels to polymers, petroleum is truly the largest source of basic hydrocarbons for which many of the common household products consumers use. Along...

Researchers at NETL have examined techniques for the capture of CO 2 using supported ionic liquids membranes. In this talk, we will show recent molecular simulation and experimental results involving separation of mixtures of CO 2 and H 2 using ionic liquids membranes. Specifically, we will show...

Introduction Fossil fuels supply a majority of the world's energy needs. However, the combustion of fossil fuels is one of the major sources of the greenhouse gas CO 2 . Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is one the most efficient power generation systems that use coal. However, because...

Advanced gasification power plants will employ the water-gas shift reaction producing a high pressure gas-phase mixture containing CO 2 , H 2 and water. This gas mixture at elevated pressures provides ample driving force in order to use a physical solvent that will selectively absorb, not...

Energy efficient capture of CO 2 from coal-fired power plants is one of the grand challenges for the U.S. both to end dependence on imported energy and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nalco Company and Argonne National Laboratory received a Department of Energy ARPA-E award to develop Resin...

Plasma assisted De-NOx systems in mobile application are introduced. In general, de-NOx process requires reductant for reducing catalyst. NH3(Urea) fueling, post injection of diesel fuel are representative of method for supplying reductant. Here, using synthesis gas by on board reforming as...

Plasma processes are very useful in industry because plasma has the unique characteristic of producing active species in large numbers of energetic species than conventional chemical processes. Nonthermal plasma (NTP), such as corona or glow discharge plasmas, is widely used for generating such...
