Lifeline for “Clean Coal”?
This blog has covered the long history of technologies and approaches that would allow coal-fired power plants to keep operating while the carbon dioxide in flue gases can be captured and either used or stored in some manner. The most … Continue reading
Promising Carbon Capture Technology backed by ExxonMobil
Technology approaches to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from industrial sources – principally hydrocarbon fuel-based power plants- has been evaluated in some of my earlier posts. It is now generally agreed that scrubbing flue gases with alkaline … Continue reading
Kemper power plant dooms “Clean coal” approach
The concept of scrubbing carbon dioxide from power plant flue gases has been around ever since global warming and climate change became part of our vocabulary. When it quickly became evident that flowing the huge amounts of flue gases from coal-burning … Continue reading
Humanity’s Critical Resources: Planning for Interactions
Scientific American magazine’s February 2015 issue contained a very interesting article explaining the interaction of what may be the three most important problems confronting planners for the future of humanity. In particular, it stressed the urgent need for planners normally considering only one of … Continue reading

First big carbon capture project moves ahead
My January 8th post illustrated a combination of carbon capture from coal-fired power plants with enhanced oil recovery from depleted oil fields using the recovered carbon dioxide. With a scheme like this, the considerable cost of extracting carbon dioxide from … Continue reading
Flue gas carbon removal: Skyonic’s approach
A new EPA ruling, just validated by the U.S. Supreme Court, is aimed at substantially reducing carbon dioxide emission in the flue gas from coal-fired power plants and other large coal-burning plants. In previous posts on this blog I have discussed … Continue reading
A “Far Out” Idea for Carbon Capture proposed in Scientific American Magazine
Leave it to Texas to come out with a fascinating idea that combines methane production, carbon capture and geothermal energy in an area offshore the Gulf Coast. Here is how it would work. (Scientific American, November 2013, Pp. 72-77) Offshore … Continue reading
