ESL758 : Carbon Capture and Storage
[edit]Introduction to source of CO 2 (Greenhouse gas) from thermal energy systems and their Global warming potential (GWP), carbon and CO 2 cycle, Scenario of CO 2 concentration in atmosphere, Relationship between radiative forcing and greenhouse gas concentration, Estimation of the equilibrium surface temper change, and global warming and climate change. Mechanism of CO 2 emission formation during combustion in power plants (steam turbine, gas turbine and internal combustion engines), CO 2 emission reduction by use of alternative fuels and energy efficiency improvement in thermal energy system, Measurement and analysis of CO 2 emission in heat engines / power plants / thermal energy system. Carbon capture: different methods (physical / chemical / biological) of Carbon capture from power plants, CO 2 capture through pre-combustion methods, Oxygen-combustion method, Post-combustion methods (physical solvents/sorbents, membranes, cryogenic fractionation), Chemical-looping combustion and algae species. Carbon storage under empty oil well, Ocean storage, etc. Carbon sequestration: mineral carbonation, Photosynthesis of plants, Fuel production, refrigerant, Dry ice, Fertilizer, Working fluid for power plants, Industrial applications (textile, paint, mining, oil etc.) and Case studies / numerical calculations for energy input requirement for CCS system.
