My question is, can COČ coming from stacks like these be broken down into carbon and oČ (also producing ozone as a by product)? |
I was looking at Wikipedia and carbon dioxide has many uses so it is not all bad, in fact a very useful product. You could commercially separate the gas by bubbling the smoke through water just to capture it. From there it could be used as a greenhouse gas separated from the normal atmosphere to assist plant growth.
Again it is a Wiki reference but apparently carbon dioxide is so low for effective green plant growth that it is near suffocation level for plants. It wouldn't be an energy intensive carbon cracking exercise but the scale of enclosed improved plant production would be enormous. It would be a three step process. First burn to produce it, second capture in water and third use in food or fuel production through improved greenhouse plant growth.
Steps one and three are already commercially viable but the size of step three is not even close to handling the volume of carbon dioxide available.
Does that help?
