The study is in the background of the present status of CO2 in atmosphere. Further the scope of the study is to know the development, feasibility of CCS technology and its implementation in India. The key objective of the research is “To study the importance and development of CCS technology in reducing the GHG emissions to restrain global warming”. In pursuing the above research objective, the study focused on the components of CCS technology with reference to power sector in detail so as to understand the feasibility of the concerned technologies; their applicability to the Indian scenario. The scope of CCS Technology aims to: • Enhancing efficiency of power plants by emerging technologies to reduce emission of CO2 per megawatt to reduce process load on capture technology; • Capturing and Separating CO2 from the gas streams emitted from combustion; • Transporting the captured CO2 to underground storage; In India upto 2050 there is no budgetary provision for CCS technology in spite of having major coal pro-duction and utilization of it for power generation

Oxy-fuel combustion coal-fired power plants can achieve significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, but at the cost of lowering their efficiency. Research and development are conducted to reduce the efficiency penalty and to improve their reliability. High-pressure oxy-fuel combustion has been shown to improve the overall performance by recuperating more of the fuel enthalpy into the power cycle. In our previous papers, we demonstrated how pressurized oxy-fuel combustion indeed achieves higher net efficiency than that of conventional atmospheric oxy-fuel power cycles. The system utilizes a cryogenic air separation unit, a carbon dioxide purification/compression unit, and flue gas recirculation system, adding to its cost. In this study, we perform a techno-economic feasibility study of pressurized oxy-fuel combustion power systems. A number of reports and papers have been used to develop reliable models which can predict the costs of power plant components, its operation, and carbon dioxide capture specific systems, etc. We evaluate different metrics including capital investments, cost of electricity, and CO2 avoidance costs. Based on our cost analysis, we show that the pressurized oxy-fuel power system is an effective solution in comparison to other carbon dioxide capture technologies. The higher heat recovery displaces some of the regeneration components of the feedwater system. Moreover, pressurized operating conditions lead to reduction in the size of several other critical components. Sensitivity analysis with respect to important parameters such as coal price and plant capacity is performed. The analysis suggests a guideline to operate pressurized oxy-fuel combustion power plants in a more cost-effective way.

The goal of this work was to develop a 3D model of Electric Swing Adsorption pro- cess for carbon dioxide capture from effluent gasses from power plants. Detailed 3D model of the composite honeycomb monolithic adsorber was developed for a sin- gle monolith channel and can be used to simulate and represent different physical properties: velocity, concentration and temperature. The advantage of this model is the fact that all physical properties and results can be presented visually in the 3D domain. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used for solving partial differential equations and simulations of adsorption and electrothermal desorption processes. Some simulation results are presented in this work. The results obtained from 3D simulations will be used for the adsorber model reduction to the 1D model which will be used for modeling and optimization of the whole ESA cycle due to its sim- plicity and computational demands. Simulation and optimization runs based on the 1D model will be performed in g-Proms software.

Abstract Greenhouse gases emissions from large scale industries as well as gasoline based vehicles are mainly responsible for global warming since the 1980s. At present, it has triggered global efforts to reduce the level of GHG. The contribution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in polluting the environment is at a peak due to the excessive use of coal in power plants. So, serious attention is required to reduce the level of CO2 using advanced technologies. Carbon dioxide capture and storage may play an important role in this direction. In process industries, various carbon dioxide capture techniques can be used to reduce CO2 emissions. However, post-combustion carbon dioxide capture is on top priority. Nowadays the researcher is focusing their work on CO2 capture using hybrid solvent. This work highlights a review of carbon dioxide capture using various kind of hybrid solvent in a packed column. The various challenges for absorption efficiency enhancement and future direction are also discussed in the present work. It is concluded through the literature survey that hybrid solvent shows better efficiency in comparison to the aqueous solution used for CO2 capture.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) constitutes an extremely important technology that is constantly being improved to minimize the amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) entering the atmosphere. According to the Global CCS Institute, there are more than 320 worldwide CCS projects at different phases of progress. However, current CCS processes are accompanied with a large energy and efficiency penalty. This paper models and simulates a post-combustion carbon capture system, that uses absorption as a method of separation, in Aspen Plus V7.2. Moreover, the CAPE-OPEN Simulated Annealing (SA) Capability is implemented to minimize the energy consumed by this system, and allow coal-fired power plants to use similar carbon capture systems without losing 20 to 40 % of the plant's output.
