One of the main bottlenecks to deploying large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in power plants is the energy required to separate the CO 2 from flue gas. Calculations show that for a coal-fired power plant, that could amount to approximately 30% of total energy generated. —Lin et al. —Berend Smit.
