Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

CCUS is an important way to reduce carbon emissions, including but not limited to carbon capture, carbon dioxide transportation, carbon dioxide utilization, and carbon dioxide sequestration. Although CCUS has made significant progress, CCUSPO is still required for further research. This Special Issue will explore modelling and optimization methods for various CCUS processes to improve process energy efficiency, reduce process consumption, and achieve the goal of reducing carbon reduction costs.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is an emerging technology with significant potential for large-scale emissions reduction. To reduce the overall system costs of CCUS, this study first establishes a comprehensive economic cost model for the entire CCUS process. Subsequently, a Monte Carlo-based Sobol’ global sensitivity analysis method is proposed to calculate both first-order and total-order sensitivity indices, followed by qualitative and quantitative analyses of parameter sensitivity. Additionally, convergence analyses of the results and their engineering applicability are examined. The findings reveal that the total-order sensitivity indices for electricity price, flue gas inlet flow rate, pipeline diameter, pipeline material price, pipeline inlet pressure, and injection pressure are 0.6578, 0.3857, 0.5585, 0.3823, 0.2205, and 0.1949, respectively, which are significantly higher than those of the other parameters. This indicates that these parameters have a dominant impact on energy consumption costs through the processes of capture and compression, pipeline transportation, and storage injection. These results provide a basis for selecting decision variables when optimizing the entire CCUS process. Full article
