Numerical simulation of CO2-brine-rock interactions on CO2 sequestration in Shihezi Formation of Ordos Basin in China
(Corresponding) Liu B., Li Z., Fu X.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the best way of reducing carbon emissions under existing technological conditions, is attracting more and more attention. Although experiments can explore chemical process of CO2 sequestration, it is limited in time scale. CO2 geological storage will last...Read more

Transferring the Carbonation of Biomass Bottom Ash from Batch to Continuous Operation
(Corresponding) Schnabel K., Brück F., Pohl S., Weigand H.
Topic:
Mineral carbonation of alkaline waste materials
Biomass incineration residues may be used for CO2 capture and storage by carbonation of waste-borne metal hydroxides. Moist carbonation of these ashes can be performed under mild conditions (ambient pressure and temperature) and accelerated by using a CO2-rich gas. The process requires the wetting...Read more

Utilization of paraffin wax as phase change material for solar thermal energy storage
(Corresponding) Shalaby S., Kabeel A., Fleafl A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
In this work, a thermal energy storage system based paraffin wax as phase change material (PCM) was designed, constructed and tested when it was integrated with a solar water heater (SWH). For the purpose of comparison, the SWH was also tested when water was used as a storage medium. The system was...Read more

Water scarcity, energy independence and the role of hybrid renewable energy systems
(Corresponding) Bertsiou M., Baltas E.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Water scarcity problems and the need for reduced consumption of fossil fuels lead to the transition to renewable energy sources (RES). The proper management of RES is the key issue, especially in small not interconnected islands. In this research work a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) on a...Read more
