post-combustion capture

Post-combustion capture technology will also be demonstrated at Jänschwalde.

Post-combustion capture refers to the removal of CO from power station flue gas prior to its compression, transportation and storage in suitable geological formations, as part of carbon capture and storage.

International Power Carbon Capture Plant, Victoria A post-combustion capture plant is operating at the International Power GDF Suez Hazelwood Power Station Hazelwood.

However, for an appropriate performance under real conditions in post-combustion capture (mild temperatures between 45-75 C and the presence of moisture) it is necessary to use thermally and hydrothermally stable silica materials, such as SBA-15, which also presents an hexagonal mesostructure.
