Carbon Dioxide: Capture, Sequestration, Compressor and Power Cycle

Abstract: With an aim to reduce the effect of climate change, it is necessary to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly. Energy industry is one of the largest contributors for the same. Even though the usage of energy from renewable sources is increasing rapidly, the dependency for energy on conventional fossil fuels, such as coal or crude oil, will to remain relatively high for following few decades. One of the ways to curb the carbon footprint is implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, where carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured from the atmosphere and stored for long-term in an empty gas or oil fields. CCS is an important component of the low-carbon based technologies which may help us meet the reduced CO2 emission targets
