ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for reducing power plant CO2emissions. In one embodiment, a method for reducing emissions in a combustion stream, comprises: combusting a gaseous stream to produce an exhaust stream comprising carbon dioxide, and separating CO2from the exhaust stream by passing CO2through a membrane to produce a CO2product stream and a CO2lean exhaust stream.
