Power Plants CO2 emissions -- Challenges & Opportunities

In the present moment, the CO2 emissions are taking center stage in every discussion. What are the challenges & opportunities ?

Challenges : As the power demand is ever increasing, so are the CO2 emissions as most of the plants are either coal or biomass based ones

What are the opportunities for CO2 reduction ?
Is the CO2 capture alone the solution ?
Are there any other options ?

While CO2 capture is expensive to invest, the cheapest alternative is to employ the 3T (time, turbulence, temperature) equilibrium condition in Boiler Operations.

What 3T can achieve is much bigger as an immediate alternative, as it brings down the Boudouard Reaction to within the theoretical limits and the fuel consumption itself is reduced.

While the CO2 emission is directly proportional to the fuel employed per ton of Steam, when the fuel consumption itself lowers, the CO2 gets lowered too.

We also manufacture chemicals, which can block Boudouard Reaction & lower the fuel consumption.

Together 3T + chemicals the is maximum reduction option at hand.

The biggest challenge is not measuring the fuel or its GCV and the employment of Indirect Method.

Unless the Indirect Method is debated, unshackled, understood & restructured, the possibility of CO2 emissions reduction is remote.

Any queries ?
