Carbon dioxide: A new material for energy storage

A bis(terpyridine)iron network polymer on carbon for a potential energy storage material.

A bis(terpyridine)iron network polymer was fabricated by electropolymerisation on a glassy carbon electrode. The modified electrode allowed high-speed charging and discharging with a minor capacity decay (only 5% after 3000 cycles at 1 V s(-1)).

A New Screening Evaluation Method for Carbon Dioxide Miscible Flooding Candidate Reservoirs

Prior to the implementation of CO2 injection EOR projects, the screening evaluation of candidate reservoirs will promote the economic benefits of CO2 injection. Currently, a uniform screening method for CO2 miscible flooding does not exist. Based on more than 112 successfully implemented CO2 miscible flooding reservoirs, which was referred in 2010 Worldwide EOR Survey, and CO2 miscible flooding...

Energy Policies for Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction

Carbon dioxide capture and geological storage.

Carbon dioxide capture and geological storage is a technology that could be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere from large industrial installations such as fossil fuel-fired power stations by 80-90%. It involves the capture of carbon dioxide at a large industrial plant, its transport to a geological storage site and its long-term isolation in a geological storage reservoir...

Design of carbon dioxide storage in aquifers

We propose a carbon storage strategy where CO2 and brine are injected into an aquifer together followed by brine injection alone. This renders 80–95% of the CO2 immobile in porescale (10 s mm) droplets in the porous rock. Over thousands to billions of years the CO2 may dissolve or precipitate as carbonate, but it will not migrate upwards and so is effectively sequestered. The CO2 is trapped dur...
