Commissioned the world's largest station for the capture of carbon dioxide Bashny.Net

Companies NRG Energy and JX Nippon announced the completion of the world's largest carbon dioxide capture system Petra Nova. The system will collect virtually all of the carbon dioxide produced the biggest power plant in Texas.





One of the most obvious ways to stop global climate change — to remove from the atmosphere more carbon dioxide. Technology that should do it, called CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage), which means "the capture and storage of carbon dioxide". The CCS collects CO2 from smoke stacks of a factory or power plant and pumping it to storage underground.





Catching the Petra Nova system collects up to 90 % CO2, which is more than 5000 tons per day. Since the beginning of the trials in September, has already managed to collect 100 thousand tons of carbon dioxide. The use of carbon dioxide in the process of obtaining oil will increase production by 10-15 thousand barrels a day. published
