Oxyfuel combustion is one of the leading technologies considered for capturing CO2 from power plants with CCS. This involves the process of burning the fuel with nearly pure oxygen instead of air. In order to control the flame temperature, some part of the flue gas are recycled back into the furnace/boiler.
The process results in separating CO2 with a theoretical efficiency of 100%. Studies suggest the technology could also be used for carbon capture in cement industries.
