Post combustion carbon (iv) capture Post-combustion capture technique involves capturing CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere but after the process of combustion has occurred. Low pressure of CO2 in the flue gas acts as the greatest barrier of applying this technology in a coal-fired power plant is the low pressure of the CO2 and its low concentration (13-15%) in the flue gas (Herzog, 2001). However, despite all these challenges post-combustion capture is the most widely proven CO2 capture due to its flexibility in the integration with existing or new coal-fired power plants (Figueroa et al., 2008). Post-combustion CO2 capture can be achieved through several technologies which can be categorized as either conventional or new emerging technologies (Sabouni, Kazemian and Rohani, 2014). 	Conventional CO2 capture technology •	Amine-based absorption 	New emerging technologies for CO2 capture •	Aqueous ammonia-based absorption •	Membrane absorption •	Hydrate formation •	Adsorption materials (zeolites, activated carbon)
