The exhaust gas from a power plant can be recovered and used as a raw reaction material

Friday, June 19, 2020 - 09:31 in Physics & Chemistry

A research group at Nagoya University has developed a new technology that can drastically conserve the energy used to capture carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the greenhouse gases, from facilities such as thermal power plants. Conventionally, a significant amount of energy (3 to 4 GJ/ton-CO2) or high temperatures exceeding 100 deg.C has been required to capture CO2 from gases exhausted from a concentrated source, and there are expectations of the development of CO2capture technology that consumes less energy.
