Life cycle emissions of greenhouse gas for ammonia scrubbing technology

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

is thought that the CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants contribute greatly to the total anthropo-genic CO2 emissions. Ammonia solvent can be used to absorb the CO2, caled amonia scrubbing. However, as hasbeen pointed out, the production of ammonia would emit CO2; therefore, the efectiveness of amonia scrubbing isdoubted. The paper focuses on the problem. Two systems are defined in the paper. System I is CO2 absorption by am-2 emissions of the twosystems are calculated by means of life cycle asessment. The paper shows that the total CO2 emissions of ammoniascrubbing are less than that of the industrial production of fertilizer ammonium bicarbonate. It can be concluded thatammonia scrubbing is an effective way to reduce the anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
