Emissions from residential combustion considering end-uses and spatial constraints: Part II, emission reduction scenarios
Abstract Cooking, heating, and other activities in the residential sector are major sources of indoor and outdoor air pollution, especially when solid fuels are used to provide energy. Because of their deleterious effects on the atmosphere and human ...

Managing Chemistry Underground: Is Co-Sequestration an Option in Selected Formations?
Abstract Geochemical simulations indicate that co-injection of CO2 and SO2 results in mineral sequestration of SO2. The amounts sequestered are greater and more persistent in dolomite and basalt than in glauconitic sandstone. In a predominantly...

An assessment of Queensland’s CO2 geological storage prospectivity — The Queensland CO2 Geological Storage Atlas
Abstract Thirty six onshore basins in Queensland, Australia, have been assessed for their CO2 geological storage prospectivity through injection into either: regional reservoir-seal intervals (‘saline reservoirs‘ and aquifers); depleted oil and gas...

Acid gas injection and monitoring at the Zama oil field in Alberta, Canada: A case study in demonstration-scale carbon dioxide sequestration
Abstract The field validation test, conducted in the Zama oil field of northwestern Alberta, Canada, will evaluate the potential for geological sequestration of CO2 as part of a gas stream that includes high concentrations of H2S (20% to 40%). The...

Electrochemical acceleration of chemical weathering for carbon capture and sequestration
Abstract We describe an approach to CO2 capture and storage from the atmosphere that involves enhancing the solubility of CO2 in the ocean by an engineered process equivalent to the natural silicate weathering process. HCl is electrochemically...

An integrated approach to CCS: A Canadian environmental superpower opportunity
Abstract The wide-scale public and governmental pressure to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses in developed nations has the potential to threaten the future growth and profitability of energy intensive industries. Because of this new...

Dynamic simulation and history matching at Ketzin (CO2SINK)
Abstract Since the end of June 2008, carbon dioxide (CO2) is being injected in the Stuttgart Formation at Ketzin, Germany as part o f the European Union’s CO2SINK project. The injection well (Ktzi 201) is roughly 50 and 100 m away from observation...

Total pressure and CO2 solubility at high temperature in aqueous amines
Abstract Total pressure was measured in CO2 loaded aqueous monoethanolamine, piperazine, 1-methyl-piperazine, 2-methyl-piperazine, and diglycolamine® at 82 to 191 °C from 115 to 2819 kPa. CO2 solubility is estimated from these data. Empirical models ...

Sensitivity study of CO2 storage in saline aquifers in the presence of a gas cap
Abstract A closed-boundary, generic reservoir model was used to simulate CO2 injection in saline formations typical of the Gulf Coast area located near a hydrocarbon-rich region. Reservoir properties characteristic of two formations (a shallow...

Groundwater monitoring at the Otway project site, Australia
Abstract The Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC) Otway Project in the onshore Otway Basin, Victoria, is Australia’s first pilot project for the long term sequestration of CO2. The Otway Project has injected...

Geocapacity: economic feasibility of CCS in networked systems
Abstract A Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed to evaluate the technical and economical feasibility of CO2 storage in the subsurface. The DSS performs a detailed, stochastic analysis of the technical and economical aspects of a CCS...

CO2 plume management in saline reservoir sequestration
Abstract A significant difference between injecting CO2 into saline aquifers for sequestration and injecting fluids into oil reservoirs or natural gas into aquifer storage reservoirs is the availability and use of other production and injection...
