Study: ‘Waste heat’ May Reduce Costs for CO2 Capture
Rice University team seeks to optimize CO2 removal from power plant emissions In some of the first results from a federally funded initiative to find new ways of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power plants, Rice University scientists have found that CO2 can be removed more economically using “waste” heat — low-grade steam that…
