Description
Summary:Currently, around 90 % of the world’s primary energy requirement is supplied by fossil fuels in which causes rising in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contributes to global warming effects and climate change. Carbon dioxide gas is the largest component of greenhouse gas. Moreover, carbon dioxide lowers the heating value of natural gas as well as is corrosive to pipelines and equipments. Therefore, removal of carbon dioxide from natural gas stream is crucial. There are several technologies for carbon dioxide removal available commercially. Chemical solvent absorption is the most common and extensively used in existing natural gas processing and liquefaction plants nowadays.
