A carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology compendium compiled by the Global CCS Institute was just released, and includes a comprehensive feature of B&W’s ClimateBright™ decarbonization technologies.

“There is an urgent need for innovative, new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to tackle climate change and meet net-zero targets,” writes Matt Loughrey, the Institute’s Principal of CCS Technologies.  “Carbon Capture and Storage covers a range of technologies that will be crucial in supporting these global efforts.”

The report titled “State of the Art: CCS Technologies 2023” highlights five B&W technologies that address CO₂ emissions:

• BrightLoop™ chemical looping that results in separate streams of CO₂ and oxygen depleted air, allowing for the capture of CO₂
• SolveBright™ post-combustion capture process that uses regenerable solvents to capture CO₂
• OxyBright™ oxy-fuel combustion that purifies the flue gas stream to simplify the capture of CO₂
• BrightGen™ hydrogen combustion eliminates the generation of CO₂ by switching to a non-carbon-based fuel
• Flue gas pre-treatment technologies that control SO₂, SO₃ and other emissions that can cause loss of CO₂ capture solvents
