Method for the elimination of the atmospheric release of carbon dioxide and capture of nitrogen from the production of electricity by in situ combustion of fossil fuels

摘要

The in situ combustion of subterranean fossil fuels, e.g. coal, oil, and methane, and subsequent separation of combustion gases from nitrogen provides a method to minimize environmental pollution from combustion by-products through subterranean sequestration of carbon while using captured nitrogen as a heat transfer media vented to the surface and used for the production of electricity in mobile turbines for transfer to population centers or for use in energy banks such as the production of goods by electricity intensive manufacturing processes.

主权项

1. A method of producing electricity comprising the in situ combustion of fossil fuels, the subterranean separation and recovery of N2 from combustion gases, wherein said N2 transfers heat from said in situ combustion of fossil fuels to water used in a steam turbine which generates electricity.
