Green capitalism: negative carbon and the green power fund
This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities created for the world by the Kyoto protocol and the creation based on international law of a global market for carbon emissions trading, in particular, the significance of the clean development mechanism (CDM). The projects funded by CDM and paid for from the carbon market's funds have already achieved a real impact, they have decreased carbon ...

A review of non–renewable energy options in Illinois
The State of Illinois has the largest non–renewable (fossil) energy reserves among all the states in the USA. We report our studies on coal, oil and gas energy resources, conversions, consumptions and carbon dioxide sequestration advances in Illinois from the point of view of sustainability in energy and environmental. This includes reserves and characteristics of coal, oil and gas in the ...

Planet Before Profit
The question of Profit before Planet is not tenable anymore. It is too selfish to think of Wealth at the cost of Planet. Unfortunately, it is still not sinking in our mind @ speed at which it should except Greta Thunberg (Sweden), Adelaide Charlier (Belgium), Luisa Neubauer (Germany), Xyie Bastida (Mexico), Prof Johan Rockstrom, most influential Earth Scientist (Sweden) and David Attenborough ...

Enhanced liquid recovery by carbon dioxide sequestration in gas/condensate reservoirs
CO2 sequestration in a depleted gas/condensate reservoir could be a viable option due to the economic benefits associated with the enhanced liquid recovery. According to previous laboratory investigations, CO2 may be superior to methane (CH4) or nitrogen (N2) for enhanced condensate recovery from the depleted gas/condensate reservoirs. However, the impact of CO2 distribution (and the associated ...

First discernments for NO storage and reduction on lithium cuprate at moderate temperatures
Heriberto Pfeiffer works at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México at Mexico city. His research interests are focused on different topics as: i) the CO2 capture and catalytic conversion to added product values; ii) the sorption and reduction/oxidation of other acid polluted compounds (CO and NOx); iii) the hydrogen production ...

Modelling and simulation of reaction kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption into aqueous ammonia in a wetted wall column
Carbon dioxide accounts for about 80% of all greenhouse gases (GHG) and thus becomes the major source responsible for global warming which is considered as the greatest environmental challenge the world is facing. The post–combustion capture is the main way to lower the emission of existing power plants and future power plants where CO2 is produced during the combustion. Solvent–based ...

Systematic approach to numerical simulation and modelling of shale gas reservoirs
With the rapid development of unconventional resources in the USA and its contribution by diminishing energy dependency on foreign supplies, reservoir simulation technology is facing new challenges in providing key information to be utilised for long-term development decisions. Therefore, growth in shale gas reservoir development necessitated new approach to reservoir simulation. In this paper, ...

Evaluation of the simultaneous biogas upgrading and treatment of centrates in a high-rate algal pond through C, N and P mass balances
The simultaneous capture of CO2 from biogas and removal of carbon and nutrients from diluted centrates in a 180 L high-rate algal pond (HRAP) interconnected to a 2.5 L absorption column were evaluated using a C, N and P mass balance approach. The experimental set-up was operated indoors at 75 μE/m2·s for 24 h/d at 20 days of hydraulic retention time for 2 months of steady state, ...

Can we bury the carbon dioxide problem?
Seriously — carbon capture and storage could be a game-changer. Mention “carbon capture and storage” — the process of trapping carbon dioxide produced in fossil-fuel burning or other industrial processes and burying it underground — in polite company, and you’re likely to be pounced on. It’s absurdly expensive. It can never be rolled out en masse. ...

Are you eligible for a manufacturing tax credit?
The United States has been generous with tax credits for energy production. But until now, it’s been somewhat miserly about giving breaks to those who make the equipment that makes the energy – or saves it.That’s changed with creation of the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Credit (MTC), part of the federal stimulus package. The 30% tax credit makes $2.3 billion available for new, expanded, or ...

Sensitivity analysis in a simulated auto thermal Natural Gas reforming process
Auto Thermal natural gas Reforming (ATR) is one of the mostly used conventional hydrogen generation technologies by the highly developed countries. ATR reactors do not need any direct or indirect heat exchanger, and that is why they are more compact and so preferable than the other reformers. In this study, a process including reformers, carbon dioxide sequestration and a cryogenic separation ...

Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Critical Domestic Energy, Economic, and Environmental Opportunity
Introduction: Amidst economic uncertainty, fiscal crisis and political division over energy policy, carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) offers a safe and commercially proven method of domestic oil production that can help the United States simultaneously address three urgent national priorities: Increasing our nation’s energy security by reducing dependence on foreign oil, ...

President Obama’s Climate Action Plan: Can it Shift the World Away from Coal?
While reactions to President Obama’s newly announced climate plan have focused on domestic action, the plan actually has potentially significant repercussions for the rest of the world. These repercussions will come in part through his commitment to limit U.S. investments in new coal-fired power plants overseas. If fully implemented, the plan will help ensure that the U.S. government ...

The Chemical Route to a Carbon Dioxide Neutral World
Excessive CO2 emissions in the atmosphere from anthropogenic activity can be divided into point sources and diffuse sources. The capture of CO2 from flue gases of large industrial installations and its conversion into fuels and chemicals with fast catalytic processes seems technically possible. Some emerging technologies are already being demonstrated on an industrial scale. Others are still ...

Hydrogen production through chemical looping using NiO/NiAl2O4 as oxygen carrier
A new autothermal route to produce hydrogen from natural gas via chemical looping technology was investigated. Nowadays, 90% of the worldwide produced hydrogen comes from fossil fuels, the most common process being Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), which produces several kg of CO2 equivalent per kg of hydrogen. In classic SMR technology, most of the greenhouse gases are vented to the atmosphere. ...
