dc.description.abstractEarth is consistently getting hotter with the most noteworthy recorded temperature was at 2016.Gobal warming is the principle explanation behind the temperature increase on the planet. As one of major greenhouse gas, CO2 has a strong influence on global warming. In addition to the global warming, CO2 concentration on the earth atmosphere will directly affect the physiological processes and growth of plants and indirectly for the changes in precipitation patterns and frequency of weather extremes. Nonrenewable energy sources, and fossil fuel based electrical power plants are primary CO2 producers to the environment. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the most forthcoming technologies that captures CO2 emissions produced from fossil fuel power plants. However, this technology is highly resource intensive and therefore it is required to estimate the impacts beforehand. This thesis estimates the feasibility of implementing Carbon Capture and Storage technology in Sri Lankan fossil fuel power plants. In addition to the CO2 emission, other harmful gases, SO2, NOx, and HCl emissions are also considered in this study. Author proposes the most suitable CCS technology for each and every thermal power plant by considering the reduction of CO2 emission and effective resources usage. In addition to that, cost feasibility of implementation of technology is also discussed.en_US
