Front-End Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis on CCU Technologies: Identifying the most business critical pathways for valorization and utilization of carbon dioxide

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is an emerging technology for reducing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and to limit the negative effects on the global warming. Different from carbon capture and storage (CCS), in CCU the carbon captured from point sources or direct from air is processed to valuable carbon containing products. Several...

A Numerical Investigation into Transonic Flight on Mars Utilizing a 2-D URANS Approach

Interest in powered flight on Mars has been growing in recent years, and as such new developments are being made in determining the effects the Martian atmosphere has on the flow physics and performance, specifically with regards to similarity parameters: the Reynolds number & the Mach number. This paper aimed to investigate whether the...

The contribution of trade to production-Based carbon dioxide emissions

International trade and emission offshoring can reduce a country's domestic carbon dioxide emissions, helping it to reach emission reduction targets set under the prevailing territorial climate policy frameworks. We ask what is the net contribution of trade to national production-based emissions. Existing metrics (consumption-based emissions and...

On the Interpretation and Measurement of Technology-Adjusted Emissions Embodied in Trade

We propose a new method for standardizing the production technology at the world average level and derive interpretations for the resulting carbon emission concepts. The technology-adjusted emission balance measures net weak carbon leakage defined as the difference between the foreign emissions avoided by exports and the foreign emissions...

A Research on The Changes on the Carbon Emissions in China in The Phase of New Normal

Global warming is one of the most significant concerns for human beings today in the 21st century. Under this circumstance, countries and regions around the world are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. China, as the world's largest emitter, plays an important role in reducing carbon emissions worldwide. This paper aims to find the...

Positive vibe[r]s for Parkstad: Strategies for implementing, processing and producing Miscanthus x Giganteus

This paper gives an insight in strategies for implementing, processing and producing Miscanthus x Giganteus, or Elephant grass as it is mistakenly called, on a mid-large scale in the Parkstad Region. The area is rooted in agriculture because of fertile löss soil. There have always been a tight bond between the villages and surrounding land. This...

Carbon Risk and Mitigating Strategies in the Maritime Industry: An investigation into the financial risk of the energy and climate transition, and its main drivers

The shipping industry accounts for a significant share in global GHG emissions. Especially since Business as Usual (BaU) scenario studies project that the emissions due to shipping could increase by 50 [%] to 250 [%] in the period to 2050 (IMO, 2015), shipowners face a potential regulatory threat. Major climate regulations for shipping already...

Carbon capture onboard LNG-fueled vessels: A feasibility study

Worldwide, drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are required to keep climate change to a more or less acceptable level. As of yet, the shipping industry has found no solution to this problem: it is expected that international shipping will be stuck with fossil fuels for the coming decades. <br/>A promising way to tackle the problem is...

Dielectrical aspects of CO2-enriched water in clean porous rocks: Experimental and modeling study

Streaming potential is an eletrokinetic effect which reflects the electrical charge or the electrical potential created by flow of ionic fluids through porous media, such as hydrocarbon reservoir rocks. The concept has been studied mostly for low salinity fluids and in the past decade consist a subject of interest in oil & gas industry....

Exergy analysis of the use of geothermal energy and carbon capture, transportation and storage in underground aquifers

At the moment global climate change is one of the most prominent environmental and energy issues of our life time. Currently CO2 levels in the atmosphere stand at 387 ppm, almost 40% higher since the start of the industrial revolution and the highest for at least the last 650,000 years. About 96% of these carbon emissions are the result of using...

Technisch geologisch onderzoek naar CO2-opslag in het Barendrecht veld: aan de hand van vragen geuit door omwonenden en de (lokale) politiek

An underground CO2 storage project is proposed under the village of Barendrecht, involving two nearly depleted gasfields. Because of the lack of sufficient knowledge of these kinds of storage projects, by the general public and also by the local politicians, several questions about the technical and geological aspects have been raised. In this...
