INTRODUCTION
Increasing
concentration of CO2
Contributing
CO2
to Earths global warming.
is emitted when fuel is burnt
in large power plants.
Currently,
30 Gt per year of CO2 is emitted
WHAT IS CCS?
effectively capturing, compressing ,transporting,
and permanently injecting and storing in
geologic formations of carbon dioxide (CO 2)
from industrial or power plants.
NEED OF CCS
Many countries are heavily dependent on fossil
fuels for energy generation
With
an average of two coal-fired power stations a
week being built in the developing world
The
climate is changing and the prime cause is
humanitys use of fossil fuels.
WORKING OF CCS
CCS is essentially a group of technologies for:
[Link] CO2 from industrial
sources or power plants;
[Link] and transporting it;
[Link] it in suitable geologic
formations underground
CO2 CAPTURE
[Link] FRACTIONATION
Separation
of gases through cooling until they enter
their liquid states
Due
to different Heats of Vaporization, a liquid/gas
mixture can then be separated
Used for high concentrations
Flue
gases typically have low concentrations
[Link] MEMBRANE
Porous
Inorganic Membranes
When
CO2 is passed through it ,
it gets absorbed
On
heating the polymer,the CO2
is released
Its
not an economical source of removal
of CO2
[Link] ABSORPTION
Most widely used method of separation
Used
for low concentrations of CO2 in the gas
Common
Solvent is MEA
(Mono Ethanol Amine)
CO2 TRANSPORT
[Link]
Large volumes of gases, oil and water
flow through pipelines every day
The
most common method for
transporting CO2
Pipelines
commonly transport
carbon dioxide in its gaseous state
[Link]
Economically
more attractive,
when the CO2 has to be moved
over large distances or overseas
Can
be transported in similar
way that LPG is transported by
Marine tankers
CO2 STORAGE
[Link] STORAGE
Method involves injecting
carbon dioxide, directly into
underground geological formations
The
most promising sequestration sites
Storage
capacity of at least 2000 Gt CO 2
[Link] STORAGE
Direct
release into the oceans;
large capacity to absorb and store CO 2
Can
harm marine organisms near
the injection point
would
gradually affect the whole ocean
Generally
no longer considered as an
acceptable option
[Link] in industrial processes
In
fertilizer production, refrigeration, food
etc.
These
processes and industries already exist on a
commercial scale
small
amount of CO2 is used for these purposes
not contribute meaningfully to climate change

CONCLUSION
Large reductions in emissions of CO2 to the
atmosphere are likely to be needed to avoid major
climate change. Capture and storage of CO2,in
combination with other CO2 abatement techniques,
could enable these large reductions to be achieved
with least impact on the global energy infrastructure
and the economy
