Study on CO2 Capture TechnologiesIn Refining Industry

CO2 capture and storage or CCS, is regarded as an essential technology to meet the GHG reduction goals deemed necessary to avoid the forecasted irreversible effects of climate change. It is the only GHG reduction method that decouples fossil fuel usage from CO2 emissions. The refining industry, along with other sectors such as steel and cement production, is beginning to investigate CCS as a viable method of reducing GHG emissions. Thus, in this paper, was presented conventional CO2 capture technologies in details.
