Absorption-Based Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide

With a globally recognised reputation for science excellence in carbon capture technology, Dr Paul Feron leads CSIRO’s post-combustion CO2 capture research program, developing new cost-effective, environmentally-benign technologies to reduce atmospheric emissions from coal-fired power. As one of the pioneers of carbon capture research Dr Feron has been working in the field from the early 1990s, and has made a large contribution to both the technology and international policy of the research.
