Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing importance of sustainable energy solutions, technologies such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) have gained significant attention. These interconnected areas offer great potential for addressing global energy demands while minimizing environmental impact.
Injecting CO2 into reservoirs enhances oil recovery by improving fluid flow and extraction efficiency. Moreover, CCS technology is capable of capturing CO2 from industrial and energy-related sources, transporting it to geological formations, and securely storing it. The incorporation of these approaches presents unique challenges and opportunities, such as increased efficiency, reduced costs, and ensuring that the stored carbon dioxide will remain stable for a long time.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to examine recent developments, innovative methodologies, and practical applications in CO2-EOR and CCS. Contributions addressing fundamental, technological, economic, and environmental aspects are encouraged, which will provide insight into the development of sustainable practices and policies.
A wide range of topics (research articles and reviews) are welcomed, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in CO2-EOR techniques and reservoir optimization;
- Advances in CO2 capture technologies;
- Geological and environmental studies on CO2 storage integrity and monitoring;
- Integration of CO2-EOR and CCS in energy transition strategies;
- Novel materials and processes for CO2 utilization and recycling;
- Life cycle analysis and carbon footprint reduction in CO2-EOR and CCS projects;
- Modeling and simulation studies for predicting CO2 transport in porous media, storage, and recovery.
Essentially, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and industry experts to share research findings, enhance collaboration, and contribute to the global transition to cleaner energy solutions.
