Abstract

Predictions suggest that global temperatures by the end of the twenty-first century will increase by 1.4 to 5.8 °C. The contribution of carbon dioxide in world global warming is about 55% to 67%. The power sector with a share of 24% is leading industrial pollutants. Todays, collection and storage of carbon dioxide is an important issue in environmental issues. Based on the foregoing, this study attempted to capture carbon dioxide emissions from the flue gas of a typical combined cycle power plant and to store it in oil reservoirs. In this paper, cryogenic carbon dioxide capturing cycle from flue of thermal power plat is first introduced and then, this cycle will be adapted with hydrocarbon's wells in order to CO? storing and increase oil gaining. The results show that power consumption of the capturing cycle is about 2% of total power of thermal plant.
