In one aspect an expander for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream is presented. The expander includes (a) a housing; (b) at least one rotating component disposed within the housing; (c) at least one inlet disposed in the housing, wherein the inlet is configured to receive the gas stream;(d) at least one first outlet disposed in the housing, wherein the first outlet is configured to discharge a CO2 rich stream; and (e) at least one second outlet disposed in the housing, wherein the second outlet is configured to discharge a CO2 lean stream. The expander is configured to cool the gas stream such that a portion of CO2 in the gas stream forms one or both of solid CO2 and liquid CO2. The expander is further configured to separate at least a portion of one or both of solid CO2 and liquid CO2 from the gas stream to form the CO2 rich stream and the CO2 lean stream. System and method for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream are also presented
