Abstract

Microalgae based CO₂-sequestration is one of the promising technologies for the capture and utilization of CO₂ emitted by power plants. In this study, the technical feasibility and the economic viability of a CO₂ capture system integrated with a fossilfuel- fired power plant, based on microalgae bio-fixation are evaluated. It can be claimed that under 12:12 photoperiod and with 80% microalgal CO₂ recovery, it might be possible to recover annually 209 kt of CO₂ from a 7/24 operational lignite-fired power plant of 50 MW_e.
