Abstract

The global warming is directly related to the increased greenhouse gas emissions from both natural and anthropogenic origins. There has been a drastic rise in the concentration of CO2 and other greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution primarily due to the intensifying consumption [...]

Abstract

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have increased by over 20% in the past 50 years. This study aimed to address this global issue through modified artificial ocean fertilization. Iron nanoparticles (⌀: 35-45 nm) were coated with polyethylene glycol 2-mercaptoethyl [...]

Abstract

In 2005, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA, 2005) provided the first comprehensive report on global ecosystems, the dependence of human societies on the services provided, current state, and likely future trajectory. The MA identified the failure to value ecosystem services [...]

Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter describes a mathematical model for a pipeline infrastructure for CO2 sequestration and utilizes various mathematical programming techniques to find minimum cost strategies for building and operating this pipeline network. The greenhouse gas emissions [...]

Author(s): Oldenburg, Curtis M.; Birkholzer, Jens T. | Abstract: The Cap-and-Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) programs being administered by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) include Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) as a potential means to reduce greenhouse [...]

Abstract

This report was written to satisfy a milestone of the Enhanced Coal Bed Methane Recovery and CO2 Sequestration task of the Big Sky Carbon Sequestration project. The report begins to assess the costs associated with separating the CO2 from flue gas and then injecting it into an unminable [...]

Abstract

Opalinus Clay (OPA), a potential geological host formation for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste in Switzerland, is characterized by a low intrinsic permeability on the order of ~ 10-20 to 10-21 m2. Nonetheless, its effective permeability can increase significantly due [...]
