Strategy for Optimal Use of Biomass in the Bioeconomy

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the process of capturing CO2 from industrial activities that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere then injecting that CO2 into deep geologic formations for safe, secure, and permanent storage underground.2324 Its ability to decarbonize emission-intensive sectors like manufacturing and power generation will be crucial as society works to address climate change and meet society's goals of the Paris Agreement. While renewable energy sources will play an important role in the world's energy transition, CCS remains one of the few proven technologies that significantly reduce emissions in these hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
Sustainability in Metal Industries

Carbon capture and storage/utilize (CCS/CCU) technology captures CO2 emissions at their source and stores them in a safe long-term underground storage facility or processes it for productive use. Though theoretically the idea seems to be ideal for carbon-intensive industries such as metal industries, particularly aluminum and I&S, to date there is no large-scale commercially successful project in the metal sector, except the one at the Emirates Steel Industries (ESI) CCS Project—the world’s first iron and steel project to apply CCS at large scale. Since 2016, it captures around 0.8 Mt/y of CO2 from gases produced by the DRI reactor, according to Global CCS Institute (Global CCS Institute, 2017).
Investing in Climate Change

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has an essential role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. As part of a portfolio of low-carbon technologies, CCS is needed to stabilize atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations at levels consistent with limiting projected temperature rises to 2°C by 2050, as recommended by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology which is used to capture CO2 from the flue gas and then transport it to the storage sites. It is a technology which has an ability to absorb CO2 to an extent of 90% from flue gases. Thus, allowing us to burn fossil fuels with a comparatively reduced amount of CO2 emissions. Implementation of CCS over existing coal-based power plant will decrease the net power output (NPO) of the already insufficient supply. A feasibility study is carried out to remove CO2 from gas turbine exhaust gases by coupling molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) stack with integrated gasification combined cycle fed by refinery residues, and optimised multiple objectives using the genetic algorithm. The optimal values of operating load and the corresponding values of objective functions are obtained (Golzar et al. 2014).

Gasification Process: Gasification is a thermochemical process that converts carbonaceous materials, such as coal or biomass, into a synthesis gas (syngas) primarily composed of CO, H2, and CO2 [9]. The advantages of gasification are: Versatile: Can utilize a wide range of feedstocks, including coal, biomass, and waste materials.High efficiency: Syngas can be used for power generation or converted into various chemicals and fuels.Potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
Fat tails and climate change: the case for a new approach to major infrastructure appraisal
Published in Journal of Mega Infrastructure & Sustainable Development, 2019
The major infrastructure projects probably come in four groups:decarbonising electricity: renewables, nuclear etc. This has direct infrastructure consequences: new generation; and indirect ones: connectivity, security of supply and transmission; and, given the ‘system’ nature of energy networks, a significant number of major IT projects.decarbonising transport: as well as retooling vehicle manufacture to deliver Electric Vehicles and new battery plants, this will require a national electric vehicle charging network, and associated grid connectivity. It will also probably require some different technology roll out for HGVs, perhaps hydrogen, aviation and shipping with attendant supply and production infrastructure.decarbonising heat: at present in UK at least most domestic and industrial heating is producing from natural gas. In future, this will need to be replaced by a carbon free fuel such as: ‘green gas’ (e.g., biomethane); hydrogen (suitably produced using renewable electricity or with CCS – see below); local heat (e.g., from ‘hot rocks’, or recycling of heat from the London underground); local electricity (e.g., electricity from heat pumps); or mains electricity. In many cases, this will require major retrofit, new production plant, changes to supply chains and potentially major pipeline projects.carbon capture and storage (CCS): potential for storing large amounts of CO2 – e.g., in worked out sub-sea gas or oil fields.
