Can natural gas power plants use carbon sequestration?

Question

I've heard about people looking into carbon sequestration for coal plants. Is anyone looking at this for natural gas, which also produces CO2?

Answer 1

Where do you think the C02 used in manufacturing processes, soft drink dispensers and dry ice get it at. It is such a rare gas in the atmosphere that it would cost many times more to extract it there than from a process that produces it as part of the process.

Answer 2

Sure. IMO, every new fossil-fuel plant should be capturing and sequestering their carbon. There are a number of techniques to do that; for example, if you pump CO2 more than 500 meters deep into the ocean, the pressure will liquify it, and being heavier than water it will sink to the bottom and stay there.

Answer 3

All serious people are instead looking into nuclear power plants which have zero emissions.

Answer 4

They can, but what's the point?

The trees, grass and flowers nearby would be denied the extra plant food. Then the bunnies, and other fluffy creatures wouldn't have lush meadows to frolic in.
