The Value Of Co2-Geothermal Bulk Energy Storage To Co2, Jonathan Ogland-Hand, Jeffrey Bielicki, Thomas Buscheck

CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

Two primary challenges for modern societies are to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that is emitted to the atmosphere and to increase the penetration of renewable energy technologies into electricity systems. CO₂-bulk energy storage (CO₂-BES) is a CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) approach that can address both of these challenges by using CO₂ emitted from large point sources (e.g., fossil fuel power plants, cement manufacturers) that is sequestered in sedimentary basin geothermal resources to take power from, and deliver power to, electricity grids. Electricity can be generated by wind and …

Development And Planning For Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Capture, Utilization, And Storage (Ccus) Infrastructure In Geothermal Reservoirs, Julie Langenfeld, Jeffrey Bielicki

CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

CO₂ emissions from human activities are a substantial contributor to climate change.¹ To reduce CO₂ emissions on a large scale, CO₂-reduction technologies such as CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) will need to be competitive with current energy technologies.¹ CCS systems are costly due to the equipment, construction, and energy needed to capture CO₂, transport it via a pipeline network, and inject it into deep saline aquifers. In CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) systems, the CO₂ is used to produce an economically viable product which could reduce the cost …

U.S. Doe Carbon Capture Program: Advancing Multiple Generations Of Carbon Capture Solutions Laboratory To Pilot Scale Development, Jose Figueroa

CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

The changing energy profile of the United States has reduced energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, according to the DOE Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, this does not preclude the need for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) as an important solution to climate change. In fact, the change only further supports the need to develop flexible and cost effective carbon capture technologies that can be applied to various fuel sources for power generation application.

CCUS is one of many approaches but is critical to significantly reducing domestic and global CO2 emissions, considering CO2 atmospheric concentrations reached 400 ppm in May 2013 …
