Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global energy demand is rapidly growing to meet the needs of the growing human population and socioeconomic development. Because fossil fuels still play a dominant role in global energy systems, the emission of greenhouse gases associated with fossil fuel utilization has repercussions in relation to global warming and climate change. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) has recently received increasing interest as a promising technology that can generate negative emissions while generating renewable energy. However, BECCS technologies are currently in development and have scarcely been commercially demonstrated. The constraints characterizing technical barriers necessitate the development of innovative methods and approaches to formulating a successful commercial implementation of BECCS. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate research works that increase our knowledge on BECCS technologies.

Topics of interest for publication include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Biomass production and harvest;
  • Biomass transportation and storage;
  • Advanced biorefineries;
  • Biotransformation;
  • Bio-based materials;
  • Post-combustion carbon capture;
  • Life-cycle assessment.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Rui Huang
Guest Editor

The decarbonization of energy matrices is crucial to limit global warming below 2 °C this century. An alternative capable of enabling zero or even negative CO2 emissions is bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). In this sense, the Brazilian sugar–energy sector draws attention, as it would be possible to combine the production of fuel and electricity from renewable biomass. This paper is the final part of a study that aimed to research carbon capture and storage (CCS) in energy systems based on sugarcane. The case studied is CCS in thermal power plants considering two different technologies: the steam cycle based on the condensing–extraction steam turbine (CEST) and the combined cycle integrated to biomass gasification (BIG-CC). The results for the thermal power plant indicate that the CO2 capture costs may be lower than those in cogeneration systems, which were previously studied. The main reasons are the potential scale effects and the minimization of energy penalties associated with integrating the CCS system into the mills. In the best cases, capture costs can be reduced to EUR 54–65 per ton of CO2 for the CEST technology and EUR 57–68 per ton of CO2 for the BIG-CC technology. Full article

In order to obtain the cheap waste calcium-based sorbent, three wasted CaCO3 precursors, namely carbide slag, chicken eggshells, and analytical reagent-grade calcium carbonate, were selected and prepared at 700 °C to form calcium-based sorbents for CO2 capture. TGA was used to test the CO2 uptake performance of each calcium-based sorbent in 20 cycles. To identify the decay mechanism of CO2 uptake with an increasing number of cycles, all calcium-based sorbents were characterized by using XRF, XRD, and N2 adsorption. The specific surface area of calcium-based sorbents was used to redefine the formula of cyclic carbonation reactivity decay. The carbonation conversion rate of three calcium-based sorbents exhibited a decreasing trend as the cycle number increased. Chicken eggshells exhibited the most significant decrease rate (over 50% compared with Cycle 1), while carbide slag and analytical reagent-grade calcium carbonate showed a flat linear decline trend. The specific surface area of the samples was used to calculate carbonation conversion for an infinite number of cycles. The carbonation conversion rates of three calcium-based sorbents were estimated to decrease to 0.2898, 0.1455, and 0.3438 mol/mol, respectively, after 100 cycles. Full article
