With the rise of carbon capture and storage, liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) has emerged as a promising medium for large-scale marine transport. This study evaluates the structural integrity of an IMO Type C cargo tank for a medium-range LCO2 carrier...
As global warming accelerates, the Paris Agreement has emphasized the urgent need for technologies that reduce and manage carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has emerged as a critical area of research. For the saf...
This study presents a structural integrity evaluation of a 5000 m3 IMO Type C independent tank designed for storing liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) at −35 °C and 15 barg, based on the IMO IGC Code and Korean Register (KR) rules. A finite el...
Bi-lobed Type C pressure vessels are an attractive cargo-containment option for the marine transport of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) because they combine the high design pressure of cylindrical Type C tanks with an improved utilization of the pris...
Marine transportation of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2) is crucial for Carbon Capture, Transportation, Utilization, and Storage (CCTUS) technology, aiding in CO2 emission reduction and greenhouse effect control. This study investigates the thermodyn...
In the present study, an Engineering Critical Assessment (ECA) is conducted for an International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Type C liquefied CO2 (LCO2) cargo tank to evaluate the effect of finite element configuration on structural integrity in the...
This study presents a comprehensive thermo-economic evaluation of a pumped thermal energy storage (PTES) system based on a supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) recompression Brayton cycle (RBC). A multiparametric analysis was conducted through system...
The present work focuses on the techno-economic assessment and multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization of small-scale (40 kWth input), solar Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems driven by medium-to-high temperature (up to 210 °C) parabolic dish...
This article investigates the combined effects of different common defects on the structural integrity and operational and environmental safety in the operation of an existing Light Cycle Oil (LCO) storage tank. This study correlates all the tank def...
This study presents a comparative techno-economic and environmental assessment of three leading stationary energy storage technologies: lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, and hydrogen systems (electrolyzer–tank–fuel cell). The an...
Small-size concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are presently not diffused due to a too-high levelized cost of electricity (LCoE), contrarily to CSP plants with capacity >100 MW, which provide LCoE < 20 cEUR/kWh. The integration of solid-state...
