Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The proposed Special Issue, titled "Carbon Capture and Storage: Recent Progress and Future Challenges," aims to shed light on the latest advancements in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and the potential hurdles they face. This topic is of paramount importance as the world grapples with the existential threat of climate change, and as CCS plays a crucial role in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

This Special Issue intends to gather high-quality original research papers and comprehensive review articles that delve into various aspects of CCS, from the design and development of novel technologies and materials for carbon capture, to the evaluation of storage methods and the assessment of their environmental and economic impacts. It will provide a platform for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to share their insights and findings, fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue around CCS.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Novel techniques and materials for efficient carbon capture;
  2. Advances in carbon sequestration and storage;
  3. Environmental impacts and risk assessment of CCS;
  4. Economic feasibility and challenges in CCS implementation;
  5. Policy and regulatory considerations for CCS;
  6. Case studies of successful CCS implementation.

By focusing on both the progress and challenges of CCS, this Special Issue seeks to promote and advance our understanding of this critical field. We believe it will serve as a rich resource for all stakeholders involved in mitigating climate change and progressing towards a sustainable future.

Coal and rock dynamic disasters such as rock burst and outburst seriously threaten the sustainable development of the coal mining industry, which are intimately correlated with the nonlinear dynamic response process of the deep coal and rock mass. This study conducts coal dynamic experiments under vibration load from room temperature to 60 °C by using the split Hopkinson bar (SHPB) with a temperature real-time control system and analyzes the variation in stress and strain and the energy dissipation characteristics of coal during the dynamic load process. The expression equation of dissipated energy of coal at different scales is established, and the judgment conditions of the macroscopic mechanical behavior of coal are analyzed theoretically. The stress curves show a multi-stress peak phenomenon when the coal samples are subjected to different temperatures and dynamic loads, and the coal’s dynamic stress and temperature show a polynomial fitting relationship at different stages. When the coal sample is subjected to temperature and dynamic load, the macroscopic changes in incident energy, reflected energy, and dissipated energy are consistent; that is, various energies gradually increase to a fixed value and tend to stabilize with the time of stress wave action. The transmission energy exhibits a rising trend in correlation with the duration of the dynamic load action, but the value is less than 0.1 J. The growth gradients of the different energies, in descending order, are: the growth gradient of incident energy, reflection energy, dissipation energy, and transmission energy. The energy inflection point appears at 60 °C. Based on the linear elastic fracture mechanics and damage mechanics theories, the expression for coal energy dissipation from the nanoscale to the microscale is established, and the relationship between energy dissipation and macroscopic mechanical behavior response of the coal samples is analyzed. The main physical components of the coal sample are calcite and kaolinite. Within the temperature range of 18–60 °C, the macroscopic failure form of the coal is horizontal tensile failure. The study results are introduced into dynamic disaster prevention and control and the surrounding rock system stability evaluation in deep mines. Full article
