Abstract
The problem of reducing anthropogenic emissions in the energy sector is more urgent than ever due to environmental problems, including global warming. This chapter discusses prospective ways to decrease harmful emissions into the atmosphere produced by existing and future power plants. Special attention is paid to the oxy-fuel combustion technology of power generation. The well-known cycles like the semi-closed oxy-fuel combustion combined cycle, the E-MATIANT cycle, and the Allam cycle are described in detail. The results of the thermodynamic analyses of the considered cycles are provided, and methods to increase their efficiency are explained. Finally, information concerning the recent development of a pilot oxy-fuel power cycle is presented.
