The new mobile carbon capture technology eliminates an average of 1,000kg of CO2 per day

On November 4, the European Union released a study showing that a new mobile carbon capture technology could remove 1,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide
per day from a Polish coal-fired power station.

Scientists say coal-fired power plants are a major source of carbon dioxide emissions and have a huge impact
on global warming.
Carbon capture and storage technologies are able to reduce emissions from power plants by capturing carbon dioxide and storing it
safely.

However, these technologies become very expensive
due to the large amount of energy required for operations.

A Polish researcher at a coal-fired power plant in Poland tests
a carbon capture device that removes carbon dioxide through chemical sequestration.
This carbon capture device requires only a small amount of energy
.

In 2013, the device was shipped and connected to the Laziska coal-fired power station
in Poland.
The power station was tested
for 550 hours using a monoethanolamine solvent.

During the test, more than 90% of the CO2 was removed
from the exhaust gases.
More than 19,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide are captured
every day.
The pilot plant was designed, installed and operated
by the Polish Institute of Coal Chemistry and industrial partner TAURON.

Experts say the new mobile carbon capture technology is most effective for coal-fired power plants and can be installed
in existing power generation installations.
