Carbon Capture and Storage : Technologies and Market
Carbon Capture and Storage projects have been running for a decade but recently gained a new momentum with a growing interest.
ReadCarbon Capture and Storage projects have been running for a decade but recently gained a new momentum with a growing interest.
ReadHydrogen 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.
ReadA new year is starting, so is a new Energy market filled with opportunities to outlook for 2021.
The Renewables and Decarbonification projects enjoyed an unprecedented impulse in 2020 and the momentum is set to continue in 2021.
ReadCarbon 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
ReadCarbon 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.
ReadThe 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.
