Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in world and likely to outlast gas oil for centuries. However, with global issues like climate change at forefront of public attention there a trend towards development carbon constrained economy. As result, research has intensified last decade on modes operating coal fired power plants capture storage (CCS). In particular, pre-combustion options via gasification, especially integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) processes, are attracting...

Abstract As part of CO 2 abatement strategies for climate change, we are investigating coal combusion behaviour in various O /CO mixtures and air. The goal is to simulate conditions combustion with flue gas recirculation order maximize the concentration prior its recovery. A western Canadian sub‐bituminous a U.S. eastern bituminous were investigated. Thermal input was set at 0.21 MW oxygen 5 vol%. Experiments done using ranged from 21% 42%. Up 95% concentrations achieved gas. This paper...

There is growing concern about climate change resulting from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Several techniques including efficiency improvements and increased use renewable energy sources will be needed to limit emissions Another technique that can help reduce substantially capture storage CO 2 (CCS). This article describe main technologies used coal- gas-fired power plants, postcombustion capture, precombustion oxy-combustion. The current status...

This paper reviews the use of a large group process for engaging public on energy sources and technologies with low emission profile. Specifically reported in this is how supports exploring Australian society’s acceptance by examining effectiveness informing knowledge changing attitudes towards technologies. Carbon dioxide capture storage (CCS) given further attention because, as relatively unknown technology perceived risks, it useful to examine effects information provision way perceived....

With the rising levels of CO 2 in atmosphere, low-emission technologies with carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) provide one option for transforming global energy infrastructure into a more environmentally, climate sustainable system. However, like many technology innovations, there is social risk to acceptance CCS. This article presents findings an engagement process using facilitated workshops conducted two communities rural Queensland, Australia, where demonstration project IGCC CCS...

In this work we investigate the proof of concept metal (Cobalt) doped silica membranes for H2/CO2 separation in single and multi tube membrane modules, addition to a reactor (MR) configuration high temperature water gas shift (WGS) reaction. The were prepared by sol-gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) ethanol H2O2 with cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)26H2O). delivered selectivity up 131. A module was tested 300 ∘C 4 atmospheres 55 days (1344 hours) binary feed mixtures...

Abstract Laboratory and field scale trials conducted so far indicate that injection of CO2 N2 into deep coalbeds has the potential to enhance coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery while simultaneously sequestering CO2. The work identified fundamental processes involved in sequestration/CBM are not fully understood further research is needed advance this technology. ECBM affected by several parameters; prominent among them coal characteristics, in-situ conditions prevailing coalbeds, changes...

A perspective on the history of Carbon Capture and Storage, its challenges role in transition to a net zero energy system pathway.
