Design and evaluation of the production of 50,000 metric tonnes/year of methanol using pre-combustion carbon capture technology / Mohd Aizad Ahmad, Nur Afiffah Ahmad Raof and Zulkifli Abdul Rashid

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission contributes largely to the increasing level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture utilisation (CCU) are evaluated as a fundamental technology that contributing to the reduction of CO2 emission. Thus, this study con...
