CO₂ capture technology development for coal-fired power plants

Abstract

Coal-fired power plants emit large amounts of CO₂, which constitutes one of the largest causes of global warming. Reducing carbon emission from coal-fired power plants is crucial for preventing global warming while stably supplying power. Toward this end, this article features an initiative aimed at achieving CO₂ capture technology based on an oxyfuel system, and a post-combustion capture technology based on a chemical absorption method.
