Status of the Carbon Capture and Storage Technology Around the Globe

Abstract

The study is in the background of the present status of CO2 in atmosphere. Further the scope of the study is to have an idea about development of CCS technology in India few more countries. The key objective of the Research Project is “To study the development of CCS technology in reducing the GHG emissions to restrain global warming” In pursuing the above research objective, the study focused on the components of CCS technology with reference to power sector in detail so as to understand the feasibility of the concerned technologies; their applicability to the India and other few countries; The scope of CCS Technology aims to: • Enhancing efficiency of power plants by emerging technologies to reduce emission of CO2 per megawatt to reduce process load on capture technology; • Capturing and Separating CO2 from the gas streams emitted from combustion; • Transporting the captured CO2 to underground storage.
