carbon capture and sequestration
Hydrogen is currently experiencing a increasing interest despite years of usage. This main focus is mostly driven by the so called “Green Hydrogen” promising a clean fuel for the service of the Energy Transition.
Now, in the Energy transition scenario, hydrogen comes as a natural vector of energy for many applications where the electricity is unable to supplant oil & gas.
Carbon Storage is the isolation of gases responsible of the greenhouse effect from the atmosphere.
The goal is to reverse the atmosphere pollution by injecting captured Dioxyde (CO2) underground in reservoirs for long-term storage or to be re-used in a close future.
Once injected underground, the Dioxyde (CO2) can either:
Deteriorate over a long period of time
Participate to Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations (EOR)
Be later transformed in plastics, fuel, concrete
Carbon Capture concept is to seize gases responsible of the greenhouse effect, preventing their increasing presence in our atmosphere.
From all the gases responsible of the global warming, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is of course the main culprit, the reason behind the name of Carbon Capture.
Carbon Capture can occur in two situations, directly from the air, or from industrial processes. It is in this second case Carbon Capture is the most efficient by reducing up to 90% of CO2 emissions from a plant.
The Green Hydrogen, not to be confused with the Grey Hydrogen and the Blue Hydrogen, is the production of Hydrogen from water (H20) splitting.
The Green Hydrogen production is based on the water Electrolysis. Meaning, the electricity injected in the liquid is going to separate the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.
Blue Hydrogen, not to be confused with Grey Hydrogen and Green Hydrogen, is an hybrid concept targeting to decarbonize today hydrogen production.
The concept of what is called Blue Hydrogen is a combination of a Grey Hydrogen plant with a facility of Carbon Capture.
Oil & Gas is booming while other Industries slow down 2B1st Consulting expects that you could already benefit from the business upturn in the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market in 2019, to wish you an even better NEW YEAR 2020 as this positive trend should continue while other industries are slowing down amid the international […]
Total to provide CPI with Coal-To-Olefins technology The French major company Total and the local utility China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) have received the approval from the China National Development and Reform Commission to develop Inner Mongolia $4 billion coal-to-olefins (CTO) petrochemical complex in China. Established in 2002, CPI is ranked as the fifth largest power […]
