Download or read book Cost Analysis of Controlling Carbon Dioxide Flue Gas Emissions from Canadian Power Utilities written by Canada. Environment Canada and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation of currently available technologies for removing and disposing of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants, including their feasibility, stage of development, effect on the environment, and applicability in Canada. The most feasible technologies were then incorporated into a utility computer simulation model (CANSIM) in which it was assumed that the CO2 is removed by a solvent, compressed, and disposed of either by injection to deep ocean or by precipitation of carbonates from brine aquifers. Costs of the technologies are also included.
