There are several methods for capturing CO2, each with unique catalytic applications:
Post-combustion capture: Captures CO2 from flue gases after fossil fuels are burned. Pre-combustion capture: Involves gasifying the fuel before it is burned, capturing CO2 before combustion. Oxy-fuel combustion: Burns fuel in oxygen instead of air, producing a flue gas that is mostly CO2 and water vapor, making capture easier.
