The emission of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) as a result of fossil fuel burning is
regarded as a leading cause of global warming and environmental problems. An efficient …

Coal mining and processing generate large volumes of combustible, causing serious
damage to the environment. This vast and negative legacy of the coal era must be dealt with …

This paper, which is part of a special issue of the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas
Control, gives an overview of the latest achievements in the pre-combustion decarbonisation …

This paper presents a thorough thermodynamic analysis and optimization of the NET Power
cycle (also called Allam cycle), a natural-gas-fired oxy-combustion cycle featuring nearly …

Objective: The aim of the present article is to conduct an integrated assessment in order to
explore whether CCS could be a viable technological option for significantly reducing future …

Worldwide energy production requirements could not be fully satisfied by nuclear and
renewables sources. Therefore a sustainable use of fossil fuels (coal in particular) will be …

A process where power and biomass are converted to Fischer-Tropsch liquid fuels (PBtL) is
compared to a conventional Biomass-to-Liquid (BtL) process concept. Based on detailed …

Among the carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies suitable for power generation
plants, partial oxy-combustion coupled with post combustion CO 2 capture is gaining …

The paper evaluates the thermodynamic performances and the energy integration of
alternative schemes of a methanol absorption based acid gas removal process designed for …

Since coal will be widely used in the next decades, mainly in the develo** countries such
as China and India, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies will have a key role in …
