There are several methods for capturing carbon dioxide, including:
Post-combustion capture: This involves removing CO2 from flue gases after combustion has taken place. Catalysts can be used to enhance the absorption and desorption processes of CO2. Pre-combustion capture: This method captures CO2 before the combustion process by converting fossil fuels into a mixture of hydrogen and CO2. Catalysts play a crucial role in the gasification and reforming processes involved. Oxy-fuel combustion: In this process, fossil fuels are burned in the presence of pure oxygen, resulting in a flue gas that is primarily water vapor and CO2. Catalysts can aid in the efficient separation of these components.
