Emerging Solvent Regeneration Technologies for CO2 Capture through Offshore Natural Gas Purification Processes

It is estimated that 40 of natural gas reservoirs in the world are contaminated with acid gases (such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide), which hinder exploitation activities. The demand for natural gas will increase by 30 from 2020 to 2050, with the rise of industrial activities and the liftin...
