Paper Summary

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) power plants aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers modeled an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant with CO2 capture, focusing on integrating the air separation unit (ASU) into the gas turbine process. The simulation showed how this integration affects the power plant's efficiency.
