The rapid increase in the concentration of CO2 raises global concern. The latest research indicates that the concentration has reached a new peak of 400[1] ppm. Effective CO2 abatement strategies, such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), are of great interest. One common method of CCS is MEA absorption. This paper aims to illustrate post-combustion capture with MEA solvent. The principles, procedures, influencing factors, advantages and drawbacks are discussed to better understand what hinders existing power plants from retrofitting with this technology.

AbstractThis paper puts forward two claims about funding carbon capture and storage. The first claim is that there are moral justifications supporting strategic investment into CO2 storage from global and regional perspectives. One argument draws on the empirical evidence which suggests carbon capture and storage would play a significant role in a portfolio of global solutions to climate change; the other draws on Rawls’ notion of legitimate expectations and Moellendorf’s Anti-Poverty principle. The second claim is that where to pursue this strategic investment poses a morally non-trivial problem, with considerations like near-term global distributive justice and undermining legitimate expectations favouring investing in developing regions, especially in Asia, and considerations like long-term climate impacts and best uses of resources favouring investing in the relatively wealthy regions that have the best prospects for successful storage development.
