Using Carbon Capture and Storage CCS Techniques in Mulla Abdulla and Taza Power Plants to Mitigate the Impact of Climate Change

Sameer S. Mustafa, Fawzi M. Omar, Bilal A. Nasir

Abstract


In the IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES), it was projected that the number of CO2 emission sources from the electric power and industrial sectors will increase significantly until 2050. Because fossil fuel-fired power plants are responsible for around one-third of total global CO2 emissions, they are prime candidates for the application of CO2 capture and storage techniques. The aim of this work is to mitigate the impact of climate change by reducing the amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere in Mulla Abdulla and Taza power plants in Kirkuk/ Iraq using CCS techniques, and to calculate the cost of the system components.
