After consideration of Carbon Capture and Storage from carbon fuelled power plants, there are other significant sources of Carbon Dioxide emissions from industrial process facilities. One such type of facility is Cement Plants. A series of steps would be required to help mitigate and eliminate these emissions. The cement industry […]

In the series about Carbon Capture and Storage, here is another short technical flyer about how the partial pressure of the Carbon Dioxide we are capturing affects the cost of the facilities. The good news is that technologies are advancing and scaling well and costs are reducing. For a world […]
There are currently over 50# CO2 pipelines that cover a distance of ~5,000 miles (8000 km). The lack of CO2 transport infrastructure is definitely a limiting factor for CCS scale-up. Existing oil and gas pipelines can be converted to CO2 transport pipelines for short-distance, low-volume transport. For these distances, CO2 may be transported in […]
Each potential Carbon Capture opportunity will have particular characteristics which need to be properly evaluated and engineered to make the right technology selection for efficient, cost effective operations. There are good technologies available and they are advancing rapidly with good applications available for lessons learned to facilitate continuous improvement. As […]
With so many carbon emission sources that could be mitigated, it is important to identify all potential subsurface storage locations. Deep saline aquifers are widely distributed and have been successfully used for many years. With carbon based power generation likely for several more decades, this is a technically proven solution […]
