Carbon Dioxide Emissions Reduction

Carbon dioxide emissions are pollutants that cause acid rain, and greenhouse gases that are responsible for global warming. For a number of processes that generate significant carbon dioxide emissions, this program discusses how the carbon dioxide is formed and how its release into the atmosphere can be minimized. This single module comprises seven topics, described as follows:

Included Modules

TOPIC 1: MINIMIZING ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS

This topic identifies industries that have a strong dependence on fossil fuels – either through provision of feedstocks or by supply of large inputs of energy. Most of them generate gaseous and particulate pollutants that are discharged into the atmosphere, typically from stacks or exhausts of heavy machinery.

TOPIC 2: GRAY GAS PRODUCTION

This topic introduces a number of manufacturing processes that are known emitters of large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere – Natural Gas Production, Hydrogen and Synthesis Gas Production, Sulfur Recovery, and Power Generation.

TOPIC 3: CARBON DIOXIDE SOURCES

In this topic, we identify different sources of carbon dioxide – as a constituent of raw natural gas, as a flue gas constituent from combustion of fossil fuels in fired heaters and gas turbines, and as a by-product of hydrogen and synthesis gas production.

TOPICS 4 – 7: CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS REDUCTION METHODS

This topic identifies ways in which carbon dioxide emissions in Natural Gas Production, Hydrogen & Synthesis Gas Production, Sulfur Recovery & Power Generation can be reduced to very low levels.
