Oxyfuel Combustion Makes Carbon Capture More Efficient
This paper studies how oxyfuel combustion can improve the efficiency of carbon capture in industries like power generation and manufacturing. By using oxygen rather than air, oxyfuel combustion avoids nitrogen and thus reduces nitrogen oxide emissions. Using ASPEN Plus for modelling, the paper compares energy demands for CO2 capture in five industries and finds that oxyfuel combustion requires significantly less energy for high CO2 capture rates than air-based methods. The higher CO2 concentration in oxyfuel combustion also improves capture efficiency, making it a promising alternative.
