Whether more
carbon capture facilities such as this one will be built remains to be seen, but it's encouraging to see that it can be one of many that are being explored.
Not exact matches
«There will be relatively high costs in developing this new nuclear
facility but broadly comparable with other low
carbon technologies
such as offshore wind, and, potentially,
carbon capture and storage applied to gas and coal fired power stations.
Third, new technologies,
such as underground coal gasification and especially
carbon capture and storage, can — if given substantial financial support — reduce emissions substantially from coal use in power plants and industrial
facilities.
Separation unit 202 separates components 206 (e.g., algae and components that promote algae growth
such as nutrients in the form of dissolved or particulate matter, etc.) from growth medium 204 and returns these components to algaculture
facility 104, while species that promote
carbon dioxide
capture (e.g., carbonate buffer species, phosphate buffer species, amino acid based buffer species, or other buffer species) are provided via modified growth medium 208 to
carbon dioxide
capture facility 102.
The
carbon dioxide
capture facility is configured to transfer
carbon dioxide from a gas to the portion of the growth medium to yield an enriched growth medium,
such that the concentration of dissolved
carbon dioxide in the enriched growth medium exceeds the concentration of dissolved
carbon dioxide in the growth medium, where dissolved
carbon dioxide includes ions formed by the reaction of
carbon dioxide with a species in solution, including
such ions formed in the growth medium and added to the growth medium.
Growth medium 106 processed in
carbon dioxide
capture facility 104 may include an additive
such as a catalyst that enhances the rate of
carbon dioxide transfer from gas 110 to the growth medium (e.g., enhances the rate of reaction (3) above).
(1) deployment of technologies to
capture and sequester
carbon dioxide emissions from electric generating units or large industrial sources (except that assistance under this subtitle for
such deployment shall be limited to the cost of retrofitting existing
facilities with
such technologies or the incremental cost of purchasing and installing
such technologies at new
facilities);
The term qualified coal - to - liquid
facility means a manufacturing
facility that has the capacity to produce at least 10,000 barrels per day of transportation grade liquid fuels from a feedstock that is primarily domestic coal (including peat and any property which allows for the
capture, transportation, or sequestration of by - products resulting from
such process, including
carbon emissions).
Manufacturing
facilities become
carbon sinks GT's air
capture technology allows the
capture of CO2 in conjunction with heavy industrial processes
such as metal smelting, cement production, and petrochemical refining.
Such carbon capture facilities would be most cost - effective and efficient when placed right beside fossil fuel power plants, but this option is still costly compared to solar and wind power.
Not one of the few specific actionable proposals (
such as the WWF proposal to replace all fossil fuel fired plants with renewables or Hansen's proposal to shut down all coal - fired power plants or a proposal posted here by Bridges to install
carbon capturing + sequestering
facilities on half of all new coal plants) result in any perceptible reduction in global warming by 2100, all at exorbitant cost.
