Aspects of CCS have been investigated for over two decades, and many large- and small-scale geologic storage field demonstration projects are now underway globally. Interest in offshore CCS has been increasing in recent years (e.g., European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United States). Deep geologic storage in offshore settings is analogous to onshore CCS activities in many respects (i.e., geologic and geotechnical aspects), but is distinct from previously explored seabed sediment CO₂ storage) or deep marine dissolution). Given the large subsurface geologic storage volumes available in offshore settings, much discussion of offshore CCS is focused on the benefits and risks of such activity compared to onshore settings. Similar to onshore settings, existing (legacy) wells likely present the most direct migration pathway and largest risk of noncontainment in offshore settings. As part of current studies to evaluate geologic storage options in offshore settings along the Texas coast and greater Gulf of Mexico (GoM), mapping of the geographic distribution and ages of wells in a region containing coastal counties and extending 30 miles offshore Texas indicates that both well spatial density and well age decrease moving from onshore to offshore. Results suggest reduced risk of leakage owing to more rigorous and documented well completion and abandonment practices for these generally younger wells (although many are decades old). A result of decreased well density is that larger areas are available for leasing for CCS projects that avoid legacy wells altogether (&gt; 1 mile from any existing well). The one-mile designation is used as an arbitrary convention, and while it is recognized that this is smaller than a typical area of review (AoR) for permitting, each site will have a different AoR radius for consideration. The combination of large subsurface storage volumes under control of a single landowner and reduced risks from legacy wells makes offshore CCS attractive in the GoM. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 3","pages":"493-504"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47782422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CO₂-EWR can also be employed for supplying the required water for different applications after a treatment stage for the produced saline water. In this study, a brief review on CO₂-EWR technology and its necessities are first carried out. After that, the feasibilities, advantages, and challenges of various available treatment technologies that can potentially be used to treat high total dissolved solids (TDS) brine are comprehensively assessed. Based on comprehensive evaluation on technologies, a chain desalination process, consisting of pretreatment, main treatment, and post treatment, is proposed as a strategic path for the treatment of high TDS brine extracted from the Shenhua CCS site. It is concluded that coagulation-flocculation and gravity filtration are needed as primary stages to remove suspended particles, while membrane distillation (MD) is selected as a suitable main treatment technology for high TDS Shenhua brine. Then, MD treatment is comprehensively discussed for a small-scale treatment of extracted Shenhua brine assuming that the pretreated brine is free of suspended solids. After presenting the heat and mass transfer equations for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD), a mathematical thermodynamic model is programmed in EES (Engineering Equation Solver) software to briefly analyze the performance parameters of DCMD. The results indicate that the designed DCMD, in the absence of auxiliary systems and considering the inherent temperature of extracted brine from different formations, has the capability of producing 15.1 kg m⁻²hr of freshwater from the extracted brine of the Shihezi formation layer. In the case of employing the auxiliary system of flat-plate collector (FPC) combined with heat exchanger (HX) to heat up the extracted Shenhua brine to the desired temperature of 80°C, the amounts of produced flux are enhanced by 133%, 72%, and 45% for the brine extracted from Liujiagou, Shiqianfeng, and Shihezi formations, respectively.

In this paper, the carbon capture technology chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is examined in which the CO₂ is produced in a stream separate from the combustion air. A central research topic for CLC is oxygen carriers; solid metal oxides that provide oxygen for the conversion process. Biomass and waste-derived fuels contain reactive ash compounds, such as potassium, and interactions between the oxygen carrier and the ash species are critical for the lifetime and performance of the oxygen carrier. This work develops and demonstrates an improved method for studying the interactions between ash species and oxygen carriers. The method uses a lab-scale reactor operating under fluidized conditions, simulating CLC batch-wise by switching between feed gas. The novelty of the setup is the integrated system for feeding solid particles of ash model compounds, enabling the simulation of ash species accumulating in the bed. Ilmenite is a benchmark oxygen carrier for solid fuel conversion and was used in this study to evaluate the method using K₂CO₃ as a model ash compound. Experiments were done at 850 and 950°C. Methane conversion in CLC cycles and fluidization was evaluated with gas analysis and pressure drop measurements. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of bed particles were done after the experiments to establish changes in the morphology and composition of the ilmenite. The method for feeding the ash model compound was concluded to be satisfactory. At 950°C, K accumulated in the particles forming K-titanates and agglomeration was enhanced with K₂CO₃ addition. The agglomeration mechanism was solid-state sintering between the Fe-oxides forming on the particle surfaces. The bed defluidized at 950°C, but no such effect was seen at 850°C. The method is suitable for studying the Fe-Ti-K system with ilmenite and potassium without the influence of other ash species. © 2023 The Authors. <i>Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology</i> published by Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 4","pages":"546-564"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ghg.2218","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44658836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that after ultra-low emission, the energy consumption and converted CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emission of ESP in coal-fired power plants increased significantly, and the specific power consumption and energy consumption corresponding to unit mass particulate matter (PM) removal increased by 49.61% and 139%, respectively, and the converted CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emission increased by 1.67 × 10&lt;sup&gt;−4&lt;/sup&gt; kg CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; and 31.12 kg CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/t PM on average.

LLT-ESP also had the great optimizing possibility for energy-saving and carbon-reduction during low load operation, as when the load reduced from 100% to 50%, the specific power consumption and energy consumption corresponding to unit mass PM removal increased by 5.05%–45.50%, 6.59%–63.90%, respectively, and the CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions corresponded increased by 0.38–2.44×10&lt;sup&gt;−4&lt;/sup&gt; kg CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, 6.76–45.98 kg CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;/h, respectively.

Among the CO₂ capture technologies, the calcium-based sorbent method is promising. However, the most prominent problem of this method at present is that the activity of the sorbent decreases as the number of cycle reactions increases. It seriously affects the industrial application of the calcium-based sorbent method in carbon capture technology. Fulvic acid (FA) is a biologically active and soluble component of humic acid. Compared with other humic acids, it contains more oxygen and heterocyclic rings. Also, the rings are connected by bridge bonds. Therefore, the ability of FA to chelate cations and its adsorption capacity is stronger than the other humic acids. Therefore, in this work, we first proposed using FA to modify CaO to improve CO₂ capture from flue gas. The effects of calcination temperature, carbonation temperature, reaction time and the amount of doped FA on the carbonation conversion rate (CCR) of CaO modified with FA (FA/CaO) were studied in the calcining/carbonizing room at atmospheric pressure. The experiment showed that the first CCR (<i>X</i>₁) of FA/CaO reached 0.872 under the optimal conditions, which was 31% higher than <i>X</i>₁ of original CaO. The 20th CCR (<i>X</i>₂₀) was still as high as 0.47, which was three times than <i>X</i>₂₀ of original CaO. In addition, the sorbent was analyzed and characterized by XRD, SEM, BET and LPSA. Due to the doped FA, the microstructure of CaO became fluffy and open, which improved the specific surface area and pore size of CaO. It indicated that the addition of FA was beneficial to the diffusion and absorption of CO₂ and delayed the appearance of sintering, which significantly enhanced the CO₂ capture performance of CaO. Using FA to modify CaO to capture CO₂ provides an idea for efficient carbon capture, and has practical application potential. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p>","PeriodicalId":12796,"journal":{"name":"Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology","volume":"13 3","pages":"421-431"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41347163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
