Capture

There are three main technology options for capturing the CO2 produced in large power plants.

  • Oxyfuel combustion, where CO2 is practically the only product following combustion in almost pure oxygen and recycled flue gas, instead of air.
  • Postcombustion, where CO2 is washed from the flue gas after conventional combustion.
  • Precombustion, where a gasification process removes the carbon from the fuel before the resulting hydrogen gas, H2, is combusted.
