Systems and techniques may be used for incorporating direct air carbon dioxide capture capabilities into a working fluid condensing process of a geothermal power plant. An example technique may include causing, using fans, air to flow across condenser coils of a condensing unit, through which power cycle working fluid is circulated, and through a direct air capture (DAC) filtration component, which separates carbon from the air, capturing heat from a geothermal working fluid, and using the heat as thermal energy input to the DAC filtration component or using electrical energy generated from the geothermal power plant as electrical energy input to power the condensing unit and the DAC filtration component. The example technique may include gathering the carbon separated from the air to be injected into a geothermal reservoir or repurposed for another industrial process.

In a high-efficient clean, high-variable load rate coal-fired power generation system, through the internal thermal source SCR denitration catalytic module coupled with high temperature and low temperature storage tanks, the operating temperature of the internal thermal source SCR denitration catalytic module is controlled in a range of 300° C. to 400° C., ensuring that the SCR catalyst has high activity in full-working conditions.

A process for the removal of nitrous oxide from a gas stream having a contaminating concentration of nitrous oxide to provide a gas stream with a significantly reduced concentration of nitrous oxide is described. The process includes the use of a process system having multiple N.sub.2O decomposition reactors each of which contain a nitrous oxide decomposition catalyst and heat transfer units each of which contain a heat sink media that are operatively connected in a particular order and arrangement for use in the process. The gas stream is passed to the process system that is operated for a period of time in a specific operating mode followed by the stopping of such operation and reversal of the process flow. These steps may be repeatedly taken in order to provide for an enhanced energy recovery efficiency for a given nitrous oxide destruction removal efficiency.
