Carbon Capture
Finkel, Australia’s Chief Scientist
I learnt from researchers that CCS for hydrogen production is significantly more cost-effective for two crucial reasons. First, since carbon dioxide is left behind as a residual part of the hydrogen production process, there is no additional step, and little added cost, for its extraction. And second, because the gas mixture at the output of the process is at much higher pressure than flue gases, the extraction of the carbon dioxide is more energy efficient and it is easier to store… [T]he United Nations IPCC special report last year .. spoke of the importance of CCS for mitigating emissions
