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

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 ...

On the efficiency, exergy costs and CO 2 emission cost allocation for an integrated syngas and ammonia production plant

This paper presents an exergy and environmental assessment of a 1000 metric t/day ammonia production plant based on the steam methane reforming (SMR) process, including the syngas production, purification (CO2 capture) and compression units, as well as the ...

Learning dynamic graffiti strokes with a compliant robot

Sylvain Calinon

We present an approach to generate rapid and fluid drawing movements on a compliant Baxter robot, by taking advantage of the kinematic redundancy and torque control capabilities of the robot. We concentrate on the task of reproducing graffiti-stylised lett ...

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. ...

Force Field Development from Periodic Density Functional Theory Calculations for Gas Separation Applications Using Metal-Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Rocio Mercado, Yongjin Lee, Miguel Gonzalez

We present accurate force fields developed from density functional theory (DFT) calculations with periodic boundary conditions for use in molecular simulations involving M-2(dobdc) (M-MOF-74; dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxidobenzenedicarboxylate; M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, ...

High-throughput computational screening of nanoporous adsorbents for CO2 capture from natural gas

Berend Smit, Efrem Daniel Braun, Sondre Kvalvag Schnell

With the growth of natural gas as an energy source, upgrading CO2-contaminated supplies has become increasingly important. Here we develop a single metric that captures how well an adsorbent performs the separation of CH4 and CO2, and we then use this metr ...

Enhanced permeation arising from dual transport pathways in hybrid polymer-MOF membranes

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun

The rise of anthropogenic global warming has sparked new interest in developing strategies to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. Conventional carbon capture processes are not economically viable at scale due to their enormous energy cost. Membrane-based se ...

Soft Approaches to CO2 Activation

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Aswin Gopakumar, Shoubhik Das

The utilization of CO2 as a C1 synthon is becoming increasingly important as a feedstock derived from carbon capture and storage technologies. Herein, we describe some of our recent research on carbon dioxide valorization, notably, using organocatalysts to ...

Recent Advances in Carbon Capture with Metal-Organic Frameworks

Wendy Lee Queen, Kyriakos Stylianou

The escalating level of CO2 in the atmosphere is one of the most critical environmental issues of our age. The carbon capture and storage from pilot test plants represents an option for reducing CO2 emissions, however, the energy cost associated with post- ...
