Techno-Economic Analysis of An Integrated Direct Air Capture and Mineralization System: A Feasibility Study

Imran Bin Khairrul Saleh, Imran (author)

Carbon sequestration involves the conversion of carbon dioxide gas into carbonates through reactions with magnesium or calcium bearing minerals, presenting a potential method to mitigate CO2 emissions and reduce their release into the atmosphere. This process can be classified into two categories: in-situ (subsurface) and ex-situ (surface). CO2...

Is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Really So Expensive? An Analysis of Cascading Costs and CO₂ Emissions Reduction of Industrial CCS Implementation on the Construction of a Bridge

Subraveti, Sai Gokul (author), Rodríguez Angel, Elda (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author), Roussanaly, Simon (author)

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential technology to mitigate global CO2 emissions from power and industry sectors. Despite the increasing recognition of its importance to achieve the net-zero target, current CCS deployment is far behind targeted ambitions. A key reason is that CCS is often perceived as too expensive. The costs of CCS...

Scoping cost and abatement metrics for biomass with carbon capture and storage — the example of bioCCS in cement

Blok, K. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author), Tanzer, Samantha Eleanor (author)

Negative emission technologies such as biomass with carbon capture and storage (bioCCS) may become an important instrument to limit global warming. Currently, estimates of CO2 avoidance cost for bioCCS vary widely. Using a case study of a cement plant, this paper illustrates how this variance is partially attributable to the system boundary...

Development of a roadmap to a net-zero fleet: A technical and financial evaluation

Juncker, Jesse (author)

The maritime sector plays an important role in energy transition because offshore vessels are used for building offshore renewables but also have high emissions. The European Union (EU) has determined that from 2025 the maritime sector must pay per ton of CO2 emission. Heerema Marine Contractors (HMC) is an essential player in the maritime...

(re)Carbon City: Westergouwe as example of living in a wetland in the western Netherlands

van Oevelen, Lotte (author)

As the climate is changing, the need to mitigate and adapt to the climate is getting more urgent every day. One of the biggest causes of global warming is the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Simultaneously, we are destroying one of our biggest carbon sinks; our peat soil. Peat soil in the Netherlands is destroyed by the Dutch polder system and...

Factors for the success of upcoming more sustainable hydrogen production technologies for use in refineries in the Netherlands

Visserman, Douke (author)

The incumbent dominant design for hydrogen production used in refineries in the Netherlands is producing grey hydrogen using steam methane reforming with CO2 as byproduct. Therefore, the current incumbent hydrogen production technology used in refineries in the Netherlands is unsustainable. However, it is still unclear which hydrogen production...

A Novel Technique to Investigate Thermal-Induced Cracking in Cement under In-Situ Conditions for CCS Wells [PPT]

Li, K. (author), Pluymakers, A.M.H. (author)

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) gains much attention as it contributes to mitigating climate change. However, during CCS, the periodic injection of pressurized CO2 leads to strong thermal cycling and shocks in the subsurface, due to the endothermic expansion of pressurized CO2 upon injection. Under these temperature variations, the wellbore and...

We use a method combining experimental design, sketch-based reservoir modelling, and single-phase flow diagnostics to rapidly screen the impact of sedimentological heterogeneities that constitute baffles and barriers to CO2 migration in the Johansen and Cook formations at the Northern Lights CO2 storage site. The types and spatial organisation...

Simulation of foam in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) applications

Lyu, X. (author)

Foam is an agglomeration of gas bubbles separated from each other by thin liquid films. Foam injection has been proved to be an efficient way to increase sweep efficiency in gas-injection enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes or enlarge the storage space for trapping of CO2 in aquifers. Numerical simulation, an important tool developed by...
