An Overview of Power Plant CCS and CO 2 -EOR Projects (original) (raw)

CO2 has been used for many decades in the industrial processes and food manufacturing, including soft drin ks. Likewise, it is an essential co mponent of other everyday items such as fire ext inguishers. In very high concentrations, CO2 like any dense gas, can act as an asphyxiate material, wh ich can be dangerous to humans with its adverse impact on respirat ion. Thus, CO2 is captured to min imize risks to humans' health and the environ ment. A general overview of the current carbon capture and storage (CCS) and CO2 based enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) projects is presented in this paper. This work provides a summary of the current worldwide CCS and CO2-EOR projects along with their potential benefits. CCS is a process used to capture CO2 that is produced by industrial facilit ies. The CCS technology involves CO2 capture, transport, and storage. On the other hand, EOR is a generic term for various techniques to increase recovery from oil fields. The in jection of CO2 into underground rock formation of oil reservoirs in order to improve their recovery is called CO2-EOR.
