THE USE OF SHALE GAS FOR POWER GENERATION WITH CARBON CAPTURE

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the use of Brazilian shale gas in power generation, including carbon dioxide capture by cogeneration from the flue gases (CCU – Carbon Capture Utilization). Besides producing electricity, the idea is to generate additional revenue by making the carbon dioxide stream available to companies interested in its commercial exploitation, requiring its recovery, purification, and liquefaction.
