Current status of CO2 capture from coal utilities
The energy and industrial sectors are dependent on coal, which is an intensive source of CO2 emissions. Carbon capture, use, and storage (CCUS) is the single option to abate coal-related CO2 emissions in a sustainable development scenario. The capture technology is ready: large-scale post-combustion CCUS demonstration projects are currently running on retrofitted coal-fired power plants, and several commercial-scale CCUS projects are running in the industrial sector worldwide. However, some challenges remain as the high penalty in power generation efficiency and the cost of the practice. Second-generation capture processes which are more efficient and environmentally benign continue to develop.
