How carbon capture plant works

[HelenHelgason]

I did had business with ABB at 1992 before that I did knew your business in Hong Kong and elsewhere.

They should reuse hydroelectric plants to power stations like these, while moving the grid towards Nuclear energy. Also, to those in the comments section berating carbon capture technology, I would point out that no amount of trees is going to capture all the carbon we burned from deposits in which it was stored safely for millennia. One plant over a short period of time won’t fix the problem, but it’s a start.

Very well explained. How is the boiler energized to provide the super heated steam to heat the MEA- fossil fuels?

[ronaldonmg]

I'm missing a crucial detail here... How much energy does it cost? How much fuel extra do you need to pump it underground?

[Jakethesnake]

I literally thought I had a genius idea the other day and came up with this / even made schematics for it but it already exists. My idea is slightly different though. Thank you guys though for helping the planet and make this dream a reality

It works by being very energy intensive, making any work it does pointless. It also works by being very expensive and not very scalabe. Mostly though, it has worked very well in the greenwashing of large industry and governments trying as hard as possible to avoid changing the status quo.

Why not use the removed carbon in making carbon fiber or carbon nano-tubes?

[ronhat-nxyq]

But it still takes electricity to power all the fans and pumps. Does producing the electricity create more carbon dioxide than is removed??? If so, how do you prove it?

[dalsenov]

How long does 1 ton of MEA last? I mean how many tons of CO2 does 1 ton of MEA captures before it needs to be replaced?

[wade]

Is there an issue with too much nitrogen in the atmosphere? I know it's not a GHG, but are there concerns with removing the CO2 and adding nitrogen.

[grahamflowers]

Iron Oxide can do the same job far cheaper by converting CO2 into water

[paultiller]

How is MEA safe to use and how is it discarded when its efficiency has ended? Also, what's the heat source?

[dennislaughton]

Plant a tree, a flower or a potato, they will all capture CO2 and provide something useful.

[arnab]

The flue gas from where CO2 has to be extracted, has a temparature of 160 degree Centigrade itself.

Can someone explain??
1. So, do we have to cool the flue gas? In that case there will be Cold end corrosion due to SOx conversation to Sulphuric acid.

2. If not cooled, do the MEA solution really absorb CO2 from a 160 °C flue gas? Because it is being told that the solution releases absorbed CO2 at 110°C only.

How does it happen?

Take a look at CO2 rock Blasting to see if you want to put under your land . Cheaper and safer than dynamite

[cck]

Excellent. At 3:08, can anyone tell please what is that green color instrument (mounted on steam line)?
Thanks.

[MeroMero-ydhh]

is there is atype if Anime solvents which treat brine water and where l can get

[peepsibhoy]

how does the boiler get energy to produce steam?

[sm_]

Hello, do you have any suggestions for co2 separation in the wellbore? I'm thinking of removing the co2 down hole before it reaches the surface.

[terenceiutzi]

It is a shame that it isn't carbon neutral! ( it adds carbon to the atmospher!)
