Depending on the technology used by whichever incinerator, they do go through multiple passes and filtration steps but I am not actually sure what that does about CO2 emissions.
- colechristensen 5y agoThe extra processing done is to clean up incomplete combustion and particulate. CO2 is the end of the line. The CO2 molecule is very similar in size to N2 and O2. It can be separated and captured in various ways, but they are quite energy intensive (though occasionally power plant output will be used as input for industrial CO2 "manufacture" where they separate, liquefy or freeze it, and then sell it for whatever purpose.
