The method further includes evaluating, by the analyzing device and with the CO measurement and the current characteristics of the smart-home environment, a set of CO correlation scenarios that attribute generation of CO to a corresponding one of a set of specific sources, and selecting one or more of the specific sources as the most likely source of the CO, by aggregating results of the correlation scenarios.

Ultra cleaning of combustion gas to near zero concentration of residual contaminants followed by the capture of CO₂ is provided. The high removal efficiency of residual contaminants is accomplished by direct contact cooling and scrubbing of the gas with cold water. The temperature of the combustion gas is reduced to 0-20 degrees Celsius to achieve maximum condensation and gas cleaning effect. The CO₂ is captured from the cooled and clean flue gas in a CO₂ absorber (134) utilizing an ammoniated solution or slurry in the NH₃—CO₂H₂O system. The absorber operates at 0-20 degrees Celsius. Regeneration is accomplished by elevating the pressure and temperature of the CO₂-rich solution from the absorber. The CO₂ vapor pressure is high and a pressurized CO₂ stream, with low concentration of NH₃ and water vapor is generated. The high pressure CO₂ stream is cooled and washed to recover the ammonia and moisture from the gas.

A catalyst article comprises an SCR catalyst and a NOx adsorber catalyst, where each of these catalysts comprise a metal molecular sieve, each with a different metal. The catalyst article can be close coupled with other components to give a NO_X performance advantage from cold start to a combined DOC and SCRF system. Higher NO_X conversion is also shown in under-floor location due to NOx storage before SCR light off and selective NH₃ slip control, allowing higher NH3 fill levels. Systems comprising the catalyst article and methods of using the catalyst article to give improved hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide control, as well as ammonia slip control, are described. The systems can include flow-through or wall-flow monoliths.

The invention provides a method for generating power with a gas turbine which utilizes pressure swing reforming under conditions that facilitate CO₂ capture. First a synthesis gas stream at a first pressure is produced in a pressure swing reformer. Next the synthesis gas stream is subjected to a high temperature water gas shift process to produce a CO₂ containing hydrogen enriched stream from which hydrogen and CO₂ each are separated. The separated hydrogen in turn is combusted with air to produce a gas turbine and the separated CO₂ is easily sequestered.
