Post-combustion carbon capture

Post-combustion carbon capture is a technology used to reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from the exhaust gases of power plants and industrial processes. After burning fossil fuels, the CO₂-rich flue gases pass through a specialized filter or solvent that captures the CO₂ before releases into the atmosphere. The captured CO₂ can then be compressed and stored underground or used in other applications. This method allows existing plants to lower their carbon footprint without major changes to their infrastructure and plays a key role in efforts to combat climate change.
