Abstract
A system for carbon capture includes an oxy-fuel combustor for combusting a hydrocarbon with pure oxygen to produce heat energy and carbon dioxide, a COS converter for converting the carbon dioxide to COS, a transport means for transporting the COS, a sulphur recovery unit for recovering sulphur from the COS and an adjunct sulphur-burning power plant for combusting the sulphur to generate energy for powering one or more carbon capture and storage processes.

A system for carbon capture and storage, the system comprising:
- an oxy-fuel combustor for combusting a hydrocarbon with pure oxygen to produce heat energy and carbon dioxide;
- a COS converter for converting the carbon dioxide to COS;
- a transport means for transporting the COS;
- a sulphur recovery unit for recovering sulphur from the COS;
- a sulphur-burning power plant for combusting the sulphur to generate energy for powering one or more carbon capture and storage processes.

A system for carbon capture and storage, the system comprising:
- a combustor for combusting a hydrocarbon to produce heat energy and carbon dioxide;
- a COS converter for converting the carbon dioxide to COS by reacting the carbon dioxide with CS2 supplied from a CS2 generator;
- a sulphur recovery unit for recovering sulphur from the COS using a SO2 reduction unit disposed at the CO2 sequestration site wherein the sulphur recovery unit also recovers carbon dioxide from the COS for sequestering the carbon dioxide in the CO2 sequestration site;
- a sulphur-burning power plant for combusting the sulphur at the CO2 sequestration site to generate energy for powering one or more carbon capture and storage processes.
