The goal of this work is to explore a low-pressure Carbon Filter Process technology, which is, an inline flue gas Filter that captures CO2 by a carbonaceous sorbent, and, more specifically, to evaluate its capacity and CO2/N2 selectivity, to scale them up to a Carbon Filter Process.

Before I list down the advantages of utilizing this technology, let us look at some interesting topics about CO2 (carbon dioxide). Most of us may think C02 as a useless gas except in photosynthesis process, but actually, pure C02 plays a significant role in industries, especially in enhancing oil and methane recovery. So if we can get carbon-rich gas from the existing resources, just get it.

Firstly, this technology is beneficial to the environment. CO2 is the main cause of global warming. Although there has been proposed several policies, such as the Kyoto Protocol, to establish a cooperation among countries to reduce the CO2 emission. However, Kyoto Protocol has not been fully accepted by all countries; since it may affect their industries’ developments. Carbon Filter Process is an efficient way to reduce CO2 emission without compromising industries’ developments. With this technology, more countries could participate in this beneficial activity to work together and protect the environment.

The second reason is that, the Carbon Filter Process does not cost a lot. This Carbon Filter Process requires neither expensive materials nor flue-gas compression; and it is easy to heat integrate with an existing or grassroots power plant without affecting the cost of the produced electricity too much. Moreover, it does not need lots of continuous investments.

Thirdly, by adopting this technology, the company can show its concerns towards the climate changes to the public and can gain a good reputation from this action. Corporate social responsibility is a hot and tough issue facing by big corporations nowadays and actually it is one of determinant factors of companies’ competitive strength. By doing good, a company can gain a good corporate social responsibility and an increasing market share. Thinking about what Coca cola has done to beautify its social images; you will understand the importance of this point.

In conclusion, people should support the Carbon Filter Process. Not only because it is friendly to the environment and economy effective, but also our responsibility to the planet.
