How electricity is generated

Most U.S. and world electricity generation is from electric power plants that use a turbine to drive electricity generators. In a turbine generator, a moving fluid—water, steam, combustion gases, or air—pushes a series of blades mounted on a rotor shaft. The force of the fluid on the blades spins (rotates) the rotor shaft of a generator.

How do power plants work? | How do we make electricity?

Steam turbine. Most traditional power plants make energy by burning fuel to release heat. For that reason, they're called thermal (heat-based) power plants. Coal and oil plants work much as I've shown in the artwork above, burning fuel with oxygen to release heat energy, which boils water and drives a steam turbine.

Hybrid membrane process for post-combustion CO2 capture from coal-fired

The power demand of the amine scrubbing process is equivalent to 20%–30% of conventional coal-fired power plants output, which leads to CO 2 capture cost of about $50/ton CO 2 [4]. Also, there are some solvent toxicity and environmental concerns in the amine absorption process [ 5 ].
