Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

CO2 capture, transportation, utilization, and storage (CCUS), as an emerging technology with large-scale emission reduction potential, is expected to achieve nearly zero CO2 emissions from fossil energy use. It is considered to be one of the most important technological pathways for effective greenhouse gas emission reduction. This technology can not only effectively reduce the production of greenhouse gases to obtain environmental benefits, but also enhance the recovery of crude oil to bring significant economic benefits. In view of the huge development potential of CCUS technology, this technology has also attracted widespread attention from various countries. This Special Issue of Energies will collect articles that describe the most up-to-date advancements in research and innovation on CCUS. It will help to accelerate advanced research and development on CCUS technologies, while emphasizing their challenges from a sustainable perspective. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Establish the whole process model of CCUS
  • CO2 capture technology
  • CO2 utilization and conversion
  • CO2 storage capacity and efficiency
  • CO2 storage within different geological formations
  • CO2 storage with enhanced fuel recovery
  • CCUS environmental impacts
  • CCUS risk assessment
  • Intelligent monitoring, planning, and control of CCUS
  • Other emerging technologies related to CCUS

The reaction heat of CO2 absorption by organic amines is directly related to the regenerative heat consumption of absorbers. Therefore, it is necessary to study and determine the heat of absorption reaction and heat of regeneration reaction of CO2 capture solvent before its industrial validation and application. According to the law of thermodynamics, a computer model of the heat of absorption reaction and desorption reaction is established and verified. The heat of reaction of the AEP-DPA phase transition absorption system was studied under different ratios, absorption temperatures, reaction concentrations and reaction pressures. The heat of reaction increases with concentration and decreases with pressure. The reaction heat of the AEP-DPA phase transition absorption system and MEA were compared. The optimum reaction conditions were as follows: AEP-DPA ratio 6:4, absorption temperature 40 °C. The reduction rate of absorption heat and regenerative heat of the AEP-DPA phase change absorption system is more than 35% and 31%, respectively. Full article

The importance of CO2 removal from the atmosphere has long been an essential topic due to climate change. In this paper, the authors aim to demonstrate the suitability of the underground reservoirs for CO2 storage based on their geological characteristics. The research addressed the potential of geological formations for fossil CO2 storage in the Baltic States to support the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the region. The geological, technical, and economic feasibility for CO2 storage has been assessed in terms of carbon sequestration in geological structures and the legal framework for safe geological storage of fossil CO2. Results indicate that prospective structural traps in the Baltic States, with reasonable capacity for CO2 storage, occur only in Southwestern Latvia (onshore) and in the Baltic Sea (offshore), whilst other regions in the Baltics either do not meet basic geological requirements, or have no economically feasible capacity for CO2 storage. Based on the examination of geological characteristics, the most fitting is the middle Cambrian reservoir in the Baltic sedimentary basin, and one of the most prospective structural traps is the geological structure of Dobele, with an estimated storage capacity of 150 Mt CO2. This study revealed that the storage capacity of the middle Cambrian reservoir (up to 1000 Mt CO2) within the borders of Southwestern Latvia is sufficient for carbon capture and safe storage for the whole Baltic region, and that geological structures in Latvia have the capacity to store all fossil CO2 emissions produced by stationary sources in the Baltic States for several decades.

In West Macedonia (Greece), CO2 accounts as one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions related to the activity of the regional coal power plants located in Ptolemaida. The necessity to mitigate CO2 emissions to prevent climate change under the Paris Agreement’s framework remains an ongoing and demanding challenge. It requires implementing crucial environmentally sustainable technologies to provide balanced solutions between the short-term needs for dependency on fossil fuels and the requirements to move towards the energy transition era. The challenge to utilise and store CO2 emissions will require actions aiming to contribute to a Europe-wide CCUS infrastructure. The Horizon 2020 European Project “STRATEGY CCUS “examines the potential for CO2 storage in the Mesohellenic Trough from past available data deploying the USDOE methodology. Research results show that CO2 storage capacities for the Pentalofos and Eptachori geological formations of the Mesohellenic Trough are estimated at 1.02 and 0.13 Gt, respectively, thus providing the potential for the implementation of a promising method for reducing CO2 emissions in Greece. A certain storage potential also applies to the Grevena sub-basin, offering the opportunity to store any captured CO2 in the area, including other remote regions. Full article
