A system for carbon capture includes an oxy-fuel combustor for combusting a hydrocarbon with pure oxygen to produce heat energy and carbon dioxide, a COS converter for converting the carbon dioxide to COS, a transport means for transporting the COS, a sulphur recovery unit for recovering sulphur from the COS and an adjunct sulphur-burning power plant for combusting the sulphur to generate energy for powering one or more carbon capture and storage processes.

1. A method for carbon capture and storage, the method comprising combusting a hydrocarbon with pure oxygen in an oxy-fuel combustor to produce heat energy and carbon dioxide;converting the carbon dioxide to COS by reacting the carbon dioxide with CS2 supplied from a CS2 generator;transporting the COS to a CO2 sequestration site;recovering sulphur from the COS by a SO2 reduction unit disposed at the CO2 sequestration site while also recovering carbon dioxide from the COS and sequestering the carbon dioxide in the CO2 sequestration site;combusting the sulphur in a sulphur-burning power plant at the CO2 sequestration site;using energy generated by the sulphur-burning power plant for powering one or more carbon capture and storage processes. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein combusting the sulphur comprises combusting a portion of the sulphur recovered from the COS while supplying a remainder of the sulphur to the CS2 generator. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the sulphur-burning power plant supplies power to a carbon dioxide compressor for pressurizing carbon dioxide for injection into the sequestration site. 4. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the sulphur-burning power plant supplies power to an air separation unit that supplies the pure oxygen to the oxy-fuel combustor.
