oxy-fuel combustion systems

Oxy-fuel combustion systems burn fuel using pure oxygen instead of air, which contains nitrogen. This process produces a flame that is hotter and cleaner, making it easier to capture and reuse the resulting carbon dioxide for purposes like storage or recycling. Because there's less nitrogen in the exhaust gases, the system results in higher efficiency and fewer pollutants, especially nitrogen oxides. Oxy-fuel technology is often used in industrial applications like steelmaking and power plants aiming for cleaner energy production with reduced environmental impact.
