Carbon Mitigation: Technologies and Processes
Post-Combustion CO2 Capture
RTI is developing a robust, reliable process that will offer existing power plants a low-cost, energy-efficient option for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This process utilizes a novel sodium carbonate-based absorbent to capture carbon dioxide from power plant exhaust and generate a concentrated CO2 gas stream for reuse or permanent storage.
Field-tested under actual coal-fired conditions at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's combustion research facility, RTI's "dry carbonate" process has proven to be robust and reliable, capable of removing more than 90 percent of the carbon dioxide in flue gas.
Today, we are working with industrial and governmental partners to scale up development and bring RTI's process closer to commercial availability.
