A system for treating an exhaust stream issued by a power plant processes the exhaust stream in a methanol reactor. The exhaust stream contains CO and/or CO2, and can be a full stack or a partial stack exhaust stream. The methanol reactor is a pellet style of methanol reactor, and can be a foam or an alpha alumina oxide foam reactor. A plasma chamber generates H2 for reacting in the methanol reactor. A portion of the exhaust stream issued by the power plant is consumed in the plasma chamber. An algae reactor converts sequestered CO2 to O2. The algae is exposed to the exhaust stream to extract nutrients therefrom and thereby augment growth of the algae. The plasma chamber receives at a high temperature region thereof CO that is reduced to its elemental state. Cooling of the exhaust stream and precipitates the methanol to be re-burned as a fuel. |
