Clean technology using cogeneration concepts for simultaneous production of electricity, steam, and industrial gases: A route to zero pollution discharge -- A case study for enhanced oil recovery in Canada
- Univ. of Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada)
Energy is the most critical factor for the growth of a nation`s economy. However, its use has a major impact on the environment, especially by discharging air pollutants into the atmosphere. In addition, energy production from fossil fuel, the world`s most important fuel, is recently known to be key contributor of CO{sub 2} (a major greenhouse gas) resulting in global warming problems. This article is an extension of earlier research work to demonstrate how cogeneration concepts can be used to reduce production costs and simultaneously produce electricity, steam, as well as industrial gases such as CO{sub 2}. With cogeneration, there is very little air pollution discharged into the atmosphere. The authors discuss a case study of an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) application.
