Re: Convent fuel for remote locations - C3



Hello Raili and all,

If necessary CO2 emissions are best sequestered at very large coal-fired
power plant where 20,000 tons per day or more of CO2 must be managed.  There
is more CO2 to sequester than coal being burned.   The economies of scale
are important.   This CO2 sequestration is not cheap. It increases the
production price of electricity from about 5 to 7 cents/Kw-hr.   CO2
sequestration is one of my major research activities.  Nuclear power may
look attractive.

The safety of C3 usage has been demonstrated for many years, no problem,
and the C3 delivery trucks might just as well use propane for fuel.

For convenience C3 beats solid fuels for sure, besides there are no fumes,
no smoke and  no ashes, plus convenient on/off usage.
