“…Carbon-free or carbon-neutral renewable energy sources are not likely to completely replace fossil fuel power plants for many years to come (Lund and Mathiesen, 2009). Hence, there is a need to reduce CO 2 emission by carbon capture and sequestration so that fossil fuel power plants may be operated without releasing enormous quantities of CO 2 into the atmosphere (Haszeldine, 2009;MacDowell et al, 2010;Markewitz et al, 2012;Li et al, 2013). Accordingly, solid sorbent materials have been proposed for capture of CO 2 through a reversible chemical transformation.…”

The CO 2 capture properties of M 2 CO 3 (M = Na, K)-promoted and CaCO 3 -promoted MgO sorbents are investigated by first-principles density functional theory complemented with lattice phonon calculations. The calculated thermodynamic properties indicate that by forming double salts (M 2 Mg(CO 3 ) 2 and CaMg(CO 3 ) 2 ), compared to pure MgO, the maximum allowable CO 2 capture temperatures of the M 2 CO 3 -and CaCO 3 -modified MgO sorbents are shifted to higher temperature ranges. Under pre-combustion conditions with P CO 2 = 10 bar, the Na 2 CO 3 -promoted and CaCO 3 -promoted MgO sorbents can capture CO 2 at temperatures as high as 915 K and 740 K respectively. While under post-combustion conditions with P CO 2 = 0.1 bar, their maximum allowable CO 2 capture temperatures are 710 K and 600 K respectively. However, when adding K 2 CO 3 into MgO, under both pre-and post-combustion conditions, its maximum CO 2 capture temperatures only increased about 10 K relative to pure MgO. These results indicate that by mixing another solid into MgO, it is possible to shift its CO 2 capture temperature to fit practical industrial needs.

“…The options for carbon capture vary from solvent-based technologies such as Absorption/desorption using Monoethanolamine (MEA) [46,47], to underdeveloped methods such as oxyfuel combustion [48], membrane separation [49,50], nanomaterial sorbents [51] and chemical looping [52,53]. In parallel, intensive research is devoted to CO 2 utilization for producing fuel and products [54], and among them microalgae cultivation has gained significant research interest [55,56].…”

Biomass-derived fuels can contribute to energy sustainability through diversifying energy supply and mitigating carbon emissions. However, the biomass chemistry p`oses an important challenge, i.e., the effective hydrogen to carbon ratio is significantly lower for biomass compared to petroleum, and biomass conversion technologies produce a large amount of carbon dioxide by-product. Therefore, CO2 capture and utilization will be an indispensable element of future biorefineries. The present research explores the economic feasibility and environmental performance of utilizing CO2 from biomass pyrolysis for biodiesel production via microalgae. The results suggest that it is possible to increase biomass to fuel conversion from 55% to 73%. In addition, if subsidies and fuel taxes are included in the economic analysis, the extra produced fuel can compensate the cost of CO2 utilization, and is competitive with petroleum-derived fuels. Finally, the proposed integrated refinery shows promise as CO2 in the flue gas is reduced from 45% of total input carbon to 6% with another 19% in biomass residue waste streams.
