More efficient and economical capture of power plant carbon dioxide emissions
A consortium led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has
developed a new technology that captures the carbon dioxide emissions of
power plants more economically and ecologically. The International
Energy Agency IEA regards carbon dioxide capture as essential if the
emission reduction targets set for greenhouse gases are to be met. The
new technology is based on a combination of traditional circulating
fluidised bed combustion and oxyfuel combustion, enabling more extensive
use of cheaper fuels and even biomass. Political decisions and
legislative changes will be necessary before widespread implementation
of this new technology.
