A team of scientists at Novosibirsk Technological University has developed a new technology for generating electricity, based on the use of carbon dioxide and clean combustion with oxygen.

The innovation has been patented and represents a significant shift in how energy is produced, in addition to its contribution to reducing the negative environmental impact of traditional power plants.

One of the project’s lead researchers, Dr. Ivan Sadkin, explained that the new system uses a closed cycle that takes advantage of the properties of carbon dioxide and water vapor to operate electric turbines, and this process produces only small amounts of carbon dioxide that can be re-stored underground and prevented from being released into the atmosphere.

Sadkin added that the innovation not only achieves highly efficient power generation, but also aligns with global goals for reducing carbon emissions, and is ideal for application in large power plants, with capacities exceeding 100 megawatts.

It is noteworthy that Russian researchers have also developed a polymer membrane that enhances the effectiveness of removing carbon dioxide from industrial exhausts. It is characterized by its ability to pass carbon dioxide with high efficiency, as it works about 60 times more actively compared to nitrogen and methane, using norbornene derivatives.
