  • Publication number: 20140262284
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to form and compress relatively pure carbon dioxide includes a syngas generator which forms syngas and directs it into a combustion chamber where it is combined with oxygen and combusted to form relatively pure carbon dioxide. A first portion of the formed carbon dioxide is directed to a compressor which is powered by an internal combustion engine. A second portion of the formed carbon dioxide is combined with oxygen and used in combination with a carbonaceous fuel to power the internal combustion engine. This produces exhaust gas which is relatively high purity carbon dioxide which is combined with the carbon dioxide formed by combusting the syngas.
