Hydromechanical modelling of shaft sealing for CO2 storage

Anne-Catherine Adolphine M Dieudonné

The geological sequestration of CO2 in abandoned coal mines is a promising option to mitigate climate changes while providing sustainable use of the underground cavities. In order to certify the efficiency of the storage, it is essential to understand the ...

Development prospects of China's shale gas resources in light of global warming

Before 2013, it was widely believed that China's shale gas resources could radically alter the dynamics of supply for the world's biggest energy consumer, and there would be a shale gas boom in China, for two major reasons: China has a policy of encouragin ...

Review of fly ash inertisation treatments and recycling

Rudolf Paul Wilhelm Jozef Struis

Fly ash (FA) is a by-product of power, and incineration plants operated either on coal and biomass, or on municipal solid waste. FA can be divided into coal fly ash, obtained from power plant burning coal, flue gas desulphurisation FA, that is, the by-prod ...

(Finite) statistical size effects on compressive strength

The larger structures are, the lower their mechanical strength. Already discussed by Leonardo da Vinci and Edme Mariotte several centuries ago, size effects on strength remain of crucial importance in modern engineering for the elaboration of safety regula ...

A stochastic dynamic game of the 2050 European Energy Roadmap with CCS

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

Overview Climate policy is one of the corner stones of European Union (EU) policy. In 2011, the European Commission has defined a roadmap to low carbon economy in 2050 in which the Commission reconfirmed the EU objective of reducing European greenhouse gas ...

Advances in Electronics Cooling

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Jonathan Olivier, Nicolas Lamaison

This article highlights the advantages of on-chip microchannel cooling technology, based on first-and second-law analysis and experimental tests on two types of cooling cycles, the first driven by an oil-free liquid pump and the second by an oil-free vapor ...

Evaluation of cation-exchanged zeolite adsorbents for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture

Wendy Lee Queen

Zeolite adsorbents were evaluated for potential application in post-combustion CO2 capture using a new high-throughput gas adsorption instrument capable of measuring 28 samples in parallel. Among the zeolites tested, Ca-A exhibits the highest CO2 uptake (3 ...

In silico screening of carbon-capture materials

Berend Smit

One of the main bottlenecks to deploying large-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in power plants is the energy required to separate the CO 2 from flue gas. For example, near-term CCS technology applied to coal-fired power plants is projected t ...

The Optimized Integration of Biomass Fuel in the District Heating System in Poznan, Poland: Part 2

Energy demand continuously increases what contributes to higher emissions of GHG. Moreover, the primary energy sources like coal, natural gas and oil are depleting. To manage this problem, the scientists have worked on the different possibilities of renewa ...

Thermo-economic evaluation of coal power plants with CO2 capture

Jeremy Urech

Actually the world is facing the dual challenge of energy supply security and mitigating climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions. In this context different alternatives to reduce the atmospheric CO2 emissions are increasing the efficiency, switching ...
