HTTP:: New MIT Method for Carbon Capture in the Works
--------
Although authorities around the world are fighting to reduce carbon emissions, and to switch to greener methods of producing electrical current, it's highly unlikely that this will happen anytime soon. This is one of the main reasons why the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Ronald C. Crane Professor of Mechanical Engineering Ahmed Ghoniem is leading an effort to devise a new method of capturing carbon before it leaves the smokestacks. The technique has already proven its worth, its creators say, quoted by MIT News. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies exist today, but they are prohibitively expensive, and still fairly new. This is why only a handful of plants have tried to use them, with mixed results. The MIT team says that its new method, called pressurized oxy-fuel combustion, is able to fully separate carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas held responsible for global warming, from other emitted substances. The chemical is then transformed in!
to a concentrated, pressurized liquid stream. This liquid can then be easily injected deep underground, so that it cannot escape into the atmosphere. The method gains new importance when considering the fact that emissions from fossil fuels are still on the rise, and will continue to increase in importance. Estimates say that the use ...
