CCS permanent sequestration processes

What to do with the CO2 after it has been captured?

Small quantities of essentially pure CO2 can be used for industrial applications including carbonated beverages but, at the scale required for significantly reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions, the two main options for CO2 capture are

(a) using CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery(EOR)
(b) permanent sequestration.

These applications require CO2 to be compressed to about 150 bar. Multiple compressor stages with inter-stage cooling are necessary to reach this minimum miscible pressure for EOR.

Let's hope that using CO2 as a feed for algae for biofuels and sequestration will become a mainstream way for sequestering power plant emissions. I will be happy to explain more.

carbon capture accounts for about 60-70% of the costs of carbon capture and sequestration.

Electricity produced from biomass is considered to be carbon neutral and therefore helps to combat global warming.

The area requirements are not much and are comparable to Thermal power plants, if built nearby sources of rich biomass.
