Proposal for a low CO2 emission power generation system utilizing oceanic methane hydrate
A power generation system with low carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is proposed. This system simultaneously performs power generation, methane hydrate utilization, and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). In this system, CO2 resulting from the combustion is recovered by compressed seawater. A ther...
