Integration of deep geothermal energy and woody biomass conversion pathways in urban systems

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Léda Gerber, Emanuela Peduzzi

Urban systems account for about two-thirds of global primary energy consumption and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, with a projected increasing trend. Deep geothermal energy and woody biomass can be used for the production of heat, electricity and ...

Impact of thermally induced stresses on fracture stability during geological storage of CO2

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...

Two-phase flow effects on the CO2 injection pressure evolution and implications for the caprock geomechanical stability

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Geologic carbon storage is considered to be one of the main solutions to significantly reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere to mitigate climate change. CO2 injection in deep geological formations entails a two-phase flow, being CO2 the non-wetting phase. ...

The role of the stress regime on microseismicity induced by overpressure and cooling in geologic carbon storage

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Fluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial-scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than ...

Material constraints related to storage of future European renewable electricity surpluses with CO2 methanation

Vincent Moreau, Suren Erkman

The main challenges associated with a growing production of renewable electricity are intermittency and dispersion. Intermittency generates spikes in production, which need to be curtailed when exceeding consumption. Dispersion means electricity has to be ...

Geomechanical modelling of CO₂ injection in deep aquifers

Chao Li

CO2 sequestration in deep geological formations is considered as a promising technology to reduce the impact of CO2 on the greenhouse effect. Practically, large-volume of CO2 could be injected into a system that consists of a highly porous host reservoir c ...

Economical Analysis of a Pressurized Fluid-Based Process Applied for Phytochemicals Recovery in a Sustainable Biorefinery Concept for Brazilian Ginseng Roots

François Maréchal

A growing number of technologies are being developed in order to produce different high added value products, such as phytochemicals, ethanol and other chemicals from biomass, representing an important trend that needs to be evaluated. The use of pressuriz ...

The influence of interunit carbon–carbon linkages during lignin upgrading

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Li Shuai

The cleavage of β-O-4 linkages in lignin can generate monomers with a phenyl propane structure that can easily be upgraded into valuable hydrocarbon biofuels and renewable aromatic chemicals. High-yield lignin monomer production from extracted (or technica ...

Peripheral residential developments in Switzerland : Facing carbon neutrality challenge

Sophie Lufkin, Judith Elisa Drouilles

The notion of urban sprawl is a central topic of discourses about sustainable city. In Switzerland as in most European countries, many single-family houses are still being built in the farthest peripheries of urban agglomerations. Characterized by low dens ...
