Capture
This carbon capture method is the easiest to retrofit onto existing power plants because it removes CO2 after fuel combustion.
What is post-combustion carbon capture?
This carbon converted product is known for its ability to store renwable energy for later use and can be used in natural gas facilities and combustion engines.
What is methane?
A geological feature sealing in CO2 reservoirs.
What is caprock?
Currently one of the only methods that reduces emissions from large-scale producers.
What is Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage?
(T/F) This research paper was supported by in-house studies.
What is False?
This combustion method burns fuel in pure oxygen to produce mainly CO₂ and water vapor.
What is oxy-fuel combustion?
During mineralization, this medium is known for being more expensive, less efficient, and more difficult to scale.
What are natural ores?
The period 98% of CO2 is estimated to stay captured.
What is 10,000 years?
The process of converting captured carbon into solid carbonate minerals that can be used in various applications.
What is mineralization?
Name a limitation on CCUS implemenation.
High Costs
Limited public knowledge
Safety Concerns
Lack of regulation/policy support.
In pre-combustion capture, this chemical reaction converts carbon monoxide (CO) and steam into CO2 and H2.
What is the water-gas shift reaction?
This volume is required to generate 1 ton of microalgae?
What is 3000 m3?
The mineral sequestered CO2 forms in aquifers.
What are carbonates?
The process of permanently storing carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere.
What is CO2 Sequestration?
A method of reducing energy costs.
What is implementing renewable energy?
This common amine solvent is widely used to absorb CO₂ in post-combustion capture.
What is monoethanolamine (MEA)?
This microalgal byproduct has been gaining attention through its ability to become a form of biodiesel that can be phased in to the fuel market.
What are Lipids?
The range CO2 sequestration can influence aquifer pressure.
What is 60 miles / 100 kilometers?
The act of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human driven production/economy.
What is decarbonization?
Who are Chloe, Haley, and Moira?
This pre-combustion plant type uses gasification to produce syngas before CO₂ is removed.
What is an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant?
A catalyst material whose products are formic acid or methanol.
What are Metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts?
The first year data was collected from the Cranfield project.
What is 2008?
These types of tools and infrastructures must be developed further for CCUS to be effective long-term.
What is Climate-Resilient Technology.
The names of the authors of this paper.
