A study on the systematic control of CO2 emissions from fossil‐fuel power plants in the U.S.

Abstract: The increase in atmospheric COz, which results primarily from combustion of fossil fuels for energy, could cause dramatic global climatic and environmental changes-the so-called "greenhouse effect." This study explores the technical feasibilities and the cost of controlling COP emissions from the stacks by removing, recovering, and disposing of C02 from fossil-fuel power plants in the U.S. It is estimated that up to a 10% reduction in the annual incremental atmospheric COz content would be achieved by the stud… Show more

“…But in coal plants, an estimated 16 percent of a power plant's capacity would be required to operate the control system, and overall production costs would increase by 56 to 100 percent. The capital investment would range from 70 to 150 percent of the existing capital investment (Cheng and Steinberg, 1986).…”
