Analysis of post-combustion CO2 capture from natural gas power plants using CFD and process co-simulation

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

The use of natural gas as a fuel for electricity production is expected to gradually increase in the next decades. Since it is acknowledged that large CO2 emission cuts should be achieved in the near future, it seems plausible that these systems may have to be coupled to CO2 capture schemes. Read more
