-
Nevertheless, the post-combustion capture process includes proven technologies that are commercially available today.
-
Cost estimates for CCS typically present a range of values and depend on many variables, such as the type of capture technology (post-combustion, pre-combustion, oxy-fuel), whether the plant represents new construction or is a retrofit to an existing plant, whether the CCS project is in a demonstration or a commercial stage, and a variety of other factors.
-
Huaneng is also pioneering the development and deployment of post-combustion capture systems that will be essential to decarbonizing the thousands of coal-fired power plants that will continue to operate for decades in China, India, the United States, and elsewhere.

In addition, technologies for carbon dioxide capture and sequestration pre - and post-combustion can add to the toolkit needed to address the substantial challenge of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
