Abstract	The desire to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial furnaces that burn hydrocarbon fuels poses new challenges in the design of combustion systems. The present study examines a concept based largely on existing technologies that has the potential to reduce significantly carbon dioxide emissions from large-scale, stationary combustors. Unlike most measures proposed previously that call for the removal of carbon dioxide from post-flame gases, here, carbon is removed from the fuel as carbon dioxide prior to combustion via oxidation with superheated steam on a catalyst followed by preferential absorption into a recyclable liquid solvent or by staged phase transformations of the carbon dioxide. The resultant gas stream, comprised primarily of hydrogen, is burned in place of the original fuel. Containment of the extracted carbon dioxide is accomplished by liquefaction and discharge into the deep ocean where local conditions prevent it from resurfacing and escaping into the atmosphere. A thermoeconomic analysis of a 5()() MW methane-fired, steam power plant fitted with the pre-combustion carbon dioxide removal system indicates moderate cost and energy expenditures.
