CO2 Recovery and Reuse in the Energy Sector, Energy Resource Development and Others: Economic and Technical Evaluation of Large-Scale Co2 Recycling

Abstract

Climate change caused by greenhouse gases is receiving worldwide attention. CO2 (carbon dioxide) emission accounts for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. The current measures against emission of CO2 are mainly control of emissions, sequestration and fixation, but CO2 emission decreased by only 1.6% in Europe during the past decade. CO2 recovery and reuse may offer new options for the greenhouse gas strategy. CO2 recovery technology such as the amine process is economically and technically feasible for industrial-scale application, and the recovered CO2 can be utilized for energy production, development of new energy resources, agriculture, etc. Recycling of CO2 on a large scale is discussed in this paper.
