Wide employment of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology is of great importance to the sustainable development of China thanks to its contributions to climate change mitigation. Considering the fact that coal accounts for over 65% in the primary energy consumption mix of China, commensurate...

Effective monitoring and numerical simulations are essential to understanding the implications of long-term geological carbon storage; in particular, the predictions of CO2 plume flow under storage conditions, storage integrity of sites, and the design and operational aspects of the CO2 storage...

This paper examines the techno-economic viability of hydrogen production from underground coal gasification (UCG) in Western Canada, for the servicing of the oil sands bitumen upgrading industry. Hydrogen production for bitumen upgrading is predominantly achieved via steam methane reforming...

The main objective of this investigation is to conceptually design and evaluate electricity and H2 coproduction integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) via coal and biomass mixtures using promising advanced technologies that are under...

Worldwide energy production requirements could not be fully satisfied by nuclear and renewables sources. Therefore a sustainable use of fossil fuels (coal in particular) will be required for several decades. In this scenario, carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a key solution to control...

In this study, a trinomial tree modeling-based real option approach was developed to evaluate the investment in CCS retrofitting for two typical types of power plants from the perspective of power generation enterprises. A method based on the cumulative probability was proposed using trinomial...

SINTEF Energy Research and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology – NTNU have proposed a 150kWth reactor system design aiming at further development of chemical looping processes. It consists of a double loop circulating fluidized bed, meant to be used as a platform to study...

We present a model for rapidly costing and mapping out the cheapest option for organizing infrastructure to transport and store the CO2 emissions that might be captured in United States if carbon capture and storage (CCS) is deployed. We present the organization of transport infrastructure in...

In general, the post-combustion capture of CO2 is costly; however, swing adsorption processes can reduce these costs under certain conditions. This review highlights the issues related to adsorption-based processes for the capture of CO2 from flue gas. In particular, we consider studies that...

The accidental release is one of the main risks during the pipeline transportation of supercritical CO2 for carbon capture and storage and enhanced oil recovery. The leakage of high pressure CO2 involves complex phenomena, including the expansion and flashing of the CO2 jet, dispersion of a...
