CCUS Capacity Building and Technology Adoption in Mexico
Mexico has committed in the Paris Agreement to ambitious greenhouse gas reductions by 2030. Their plan to meet these goals, which is summarized in the CCUS Technology Roadmap in Mexico, includes widespread deployment of CCUS [...]
Harsh environment low cost LIBS sensor for sub-surface CO2 leak detection in carbon sequestration
The U.S. Department of Energy’s carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) program goals to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from anthropogenic sources will require great cost and effort. To ensure the success of the program [...]
TechnoEconomicEnvironmental Assessment Method for CO2Utilization in Chemicals Production Based on Evidence from StartUps and Literature
Greenhouse gas emissions and the resulting anthropogenic climate change create tremendous economic, ecologic and social challenges for societies today and in the future. To mitigate these effects, world leaders agreed to limit global warming to [...]
Utilization of Captured CO2 for Conversion to Alkyl Carbonates
There are very limited uses of captured CO2 other than for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) which currently has in excess of 126 projects globally; some as high as a 2 Mtonne/yr capacity. The Global Carbon [...]
Can CCS become a battery?
It is challenging to construct a business case for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) without a supportive revenue model or adequate policy. Most CCS projects that attained financing at least in Y2015 relied on CO2 [...]
Effect of polymer ratio on nZVI loading onto electrospun nanofiber mat for mitigating groundwater contaminants
Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been widely used for the reduction of halogenated organics and heavy metals in the groundwater. However, individual nZVI particles are mobile and prone to aggregate, thereby reducing the reaction sites [...]
Energy Generation from Carbonaceous and Nitrogenous Pollutants via Ammonium, Methane, and Carbon Dioxide Reformation
An unprecedented integrated electrodeionization–solid oxide fuel cell (EDI–SOFC) system is developed for energy capture from carbonaceous and nitrogenous pollutants from wastewater. The feature of this system is that both carbonaceous and nitrogenous pollutants can be [...]
Metals disinfection of E. coli in synthetic groundwater and effects of varying water chemistry
The sustainable access to clean and safe drinking water remains as global challenge as large numbers of people still consume water that is not safe. Diarrhea; a preventable waterborne disease remains the major cause of [...]
