Abstract
CO2 Capture from Biofuel:
Rapid population growth and industrialization in the recent past have placed pressing demands for the supply of energy. Using fossil fuels as the primary energy source has led to serious energy crisis and environmental pollution on the national scale. In order to mitigate the above environmental problems, it is of paramount importance to develop clean and renewable energy sources.
Anaerobic digestion of biological waste could be a promising technique to overcome waste problem as well as an alternative energy carrier. In a controlled reaction system, the gaseous mixture thus produced can contain up to 70% of biohydrogen and biomethane, respectively that can be used for commercial applications. Biogas, thus generated, contains significant amount of CO2 which not only reduces its calorific value but their corrosive nature also reduces the possibilities to compress and transport it over longer distances. The separation of CO2 from biogas is crucial in increasing the combustion value of generated biogas. Membrane technology is attractive for molecular scale separations because of its inherent advantages, such as low cost, high energy efficiency, ease of processing, excellent reliability and small footprint.
Carbon Capture from Natural Gas:
The ever-growing global energy demand and pricing trends have directed the attention of oil and gas companies towards developing contaminated fields. On the other hand, world-wide perceptions on climate change are exercising constant pressure on energy companies to adopt practices leading to the reduction of carbon emissions. Therefore, carbon dioxide removal processes such as membrane, absorption, cryogenic, and hybrid processes are attracting interest as a choice for minimizing CO2 emissions (both pre and post combustion) from fossil fuels to promote clean energy.
