Large scale carbon dioxide production from coal-fired power stations for enhanced oil recovery---a new economic feasibility study. P. Tontiwachwuthikal et al. J. Can. Petrol. Technol., November 1998, 37(11), 48--55.

Recovery of CO2 from coal-fired power stations is described. The main attractions are to use the CO2 in EOR projects and to reduce emissions that contribute to global warming. A proposed CO2 extraction plant is described and illustrated. CO2 is recovered by chemical absorption in amines such as monoethanolamine and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol. Cogeneration concepts and process optimization strategies reduce CO2 production costs by utilizing low-pressure steam and waste heat from various sections of the power generation process. Four process integration scenarios are reviewed and the economics of producing CO2 for EOR projects are discussed. 15 refs.
