ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL TECHNOLOGY FOR ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT NO. 1 JUNE 20, 1977 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1977

摘要

The primary objective of the subject program is to assess the potential options for controlling atmospheric CO2. Accordingly, C02 control scenarios based on conventional technology and applied to the larger industrial emitters will be prepared. The studies will include preliminary cost estimates of selected processes, to identify fruitful areas for environmental control technology (ECT) programmatic develop¬ment as related to CO2 release and control. BNL's prior experience in this area includes the development and evaluation of a number of processes for removing C02 from the atmosphere for the purpose of producing synthetic carbonaceous fuels including methanol, gasoline, and methane. Background information from other DOE programs will be used to determine the limita¬tions for the control studies.
