On the Development of Technologies for Reducing Carbon Footprint in the Energy Sector

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Technological approaches to reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the energy sector are considered. Three levels of carbon dioxide generation by fuel power plants are identified. Fuel power plants are analyzed in terms of the most sensitive parameters in carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies: pressure and the purity and amount of generated carbon dioxide. According to the carbon dioxide output parameters, power plants can be divided into three groups: A, B, and C. Using a screening life cycle analysis method, the integral characteristics of the main technologies for utilization of CO2 emissions from energy industries are considered depending on the level of technological maturity and market attractiveness. The groups of geological recycling, mineralization, carbonization, and bioutilization technologies promising for the Russian industrial and energy sectors are identified.

Notes

  1. The specific CO2 emissions from more efficient power plants based on the direct conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy are markedly lower, but stringent restrictions on the unit capacity of thermal energy reduce their competitive advantages at large power plants.
