CO2 separation by cryogenic and hydrate
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4), fossil fuels are utilised to produce more than 80% of the world's energy and this is likely to remain unchanged in the nearest future, especially as industrialisation is pursued by such economic gian...

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC AR4), fossil fuels are utilised to produce more than 80% of the world's energy and this is likely to remain unchanged in the nearest future, especially as industrialisation is pursued by such economic giants as China. Without substantial change in energy policies with primary focus on the development of sustainable technologies for power generation, mitigation of associated Green House Gas (GHG) emissions cannot be fully implemented, and will require continual improvement in order to achieve objectives set by the Kyoto protocol. Research and development in the field of Carbon Capture and Sequestration is therefore being thoroughly explored. In this work a new sustainable technology for CO2 capture from IGCC power stations is developed and discussed in detail. This technology is based on cryogenic condensation integrated with gas hydrate formation.With the massive global reduction in recoverable oil and the potential size in a few decades time, the accent started to shift towards the other available fossil fuels such as gas and coal.
