Review on coal-fired power plants from post-combustion CO2 process and challenges

Abstract

The capturing of CO2 from power plant flue gases offers unique chance to alleviate the emissions of coal-fired power plants to the environment. The fraction of CO2 captured and the increased production of CO2 that results from loss in the whole efficiency of power plants are determinant factors for the net emissions reduction to the atmosphere via carbon dioxide capture storage. Post-combustion capture is of great interest as it is easy to implement as to existing power plants. The use of post combustion capture in power plant was reviewed. The challenges of post combustion process were reviewed with possible solutions.
