This study proposes an integrated system combining coal-fired power plants with carbon capture and power-to-liquid/gas (PTL/PTG) technologies to convert captured CO2 into syncrude and synthetic natural gas. A two-level scheduling model opti…

Md Razaul Karim, Hong Je Cho

A materials-engineering study on synthesizing nanoporous metal oxide-carbon hybrid adsorbents via biomass pyrolysis for CO2 capture. It targets CCUS adsorbent design, but with no abstract, performance, cost, and deployment details remain un…
