Abstract
A process for reducing the amount of COreleased into the atmosphere with the exhaust gas stream produced by the combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel in an internal combustion engine (ICE) used to power a vehicle by capturing at least a portion of the COin a liquid sorbent on board the vehicle, recovering the COfrom the sorbent and compressing the COfor temporary storage on board the vehicle, where the process is operated as a semi-closed system in which the liquid sorbent that captures the COserves as a working fluid and retains the COduring the power generation cycle to produce mechanical energy or work, after which the COis desorbed for densification and recovery as an essentially pure gas stream and the working fluid is recycled for use in the process.
