Abstract
A power generation system utilizing an electrochemical cell comprising a reactive metal anode, a cathode spaced from the anode, and an electrolyte comprising an aqueous solution of the hydroxide of the reactive metal is disclosed. Carbon is oxidized to form carbon dioxide which in turn is contacted with the electrolyte of the electrochemical cell to form a carbonate reaction product of the metal hydroxide and the carbon dioxide. The carbonate reaction product is separated from the electrolyte and the electrolyte is recirculated to the electrochemical cell. The carbon may be oxidized in a manner so as to generate useful power.
