Power Plant Carbon Capture Profitable - Nano Patent

FIU Center for the Study of Matter at Extreme Conditions Director Surendra Saxena developed the system of reactions for a partial sequestration of carbon (CO2 and CO) from coal burning plants and zero emission production of hydrogen and hydrides; only raw material required are coal, salt and water.

In Saxena's systems electric or thermal power may be produced from coal-burning plants with zero emission of greenhouse gases. Hydrogen is produced economically with zero emission because of the low materials cost and low energy cost due to use of hot gases; use of hydrogen in transport will further reduce CO2-emission.

The site describes the actual process and works out the cost involved; from the tabled cost it actually shows a profit for sequestering carbon.

The process can be used for both natural gas and coal fired power plants.

We all accept there is an urgent need to find a solution for the CO2 emitted from our automobiles and coal and gas fired power plants. Saxena’s invention may help in reducing GHG and pave the way for a clean energy future.
