About Us

 In an effort to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is now supported by several governments, including the United States. Some techniques have focused on capturing carbon dioxide from emissions produced by industrial plants and/or converting the carbon dioxide to solids so that the carbon dioxide does not enter the atmosphere. Similar CSS methods and techniques have also been applied to carbon monoxide in recent years. However, the long-term economic viability and environmental impact of currently available CSS methods are still in question. 

      Petroleum coke can be burned as a low-cost fuel source.

Nearly 90% of the petroleum coke produced in the United States is burned over seas. 

However, the combustion of petroleum coke releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 

Accordingly, every ton of carbon that is released into the atmosphere through the combustion of petroleum coke (e.g., 80-95 wt% carbon) generates roughly 3.66 tons of atmospheric carbon dioxide. 

Furthermore, the combustion of petroleum coke also produces emissions of sulfur and other harmful chemicals.
