GE and Sargas AS partner on gas-fired plants with carbon capture for enhanced oil recovery

Green Car Congress

The technology provided by Sargas captures carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) at pressure, which requires lower capital investment costs and can be built quickly with existing or slightly modified subsystems and equipment. Traditionally, carbon capture for gas-fired turbine plants relied on government subsidies and advanced technology research.
