2 Capturing Carbon dioxide Capturing and removing CO 2 from mobile sources is difficult. But CO 2 capture might be feasible for large stationary power plants and industrial boiler. Flue gas – Mixture of nitrogen, water vapor and 15 % of Carbon dioxide.

3 Approach to capture CO 2 React the flue gas with chemicals that absorb CO 2 and then heat the chemicals to release CO 2. Remove carbon before combustion. Gasifying the coal through the reaction with more oxygen it is possible to produce a mix of CO 2. Then CO 2 can be captured leaving H 2.

4 Approach to capture CO 2 Use pure oxygen to support the fossil fuel combustion. The flue gas is then mostly CO 2 and water making it to separate easily. NOTE: But extracting oxygen from air is very expensive and consumes energy and combustion with pure oxygen occur at higher temperature.

5 Sequestration CO 2 sequestration is the storage of carbon dioxide (usually captured from the "atmosphere") in a solid material through biological or physical processes.

6 Where to sequester CO 2 ? Inject CO 2 into deep sedimentary rock formation. The wells that produce fossil petroleum. Deep Ocean

7 Uncertainty in CCS Slow leakage would lead to climate changing. Sudden catastrophic leakage is dangerous, and causes asphyxiation. Not easy to design a well-engineered sequestration. Difficult to find truly impermeable rock. It is not a complete solution for anthropogenic CO 2 Construction of CCS is not likely to be done quickly. Energy intensive and the economic cost.
