Accelerating net zero from the perspective of optimizing a carbon capture and utilization system

Abstract

Net zero requires an accelerated transition from fossil fuels to renewables. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) can be an effective intermediate solution for the decarbonization of fossil fuels. However, many...

Bayesian Symbolic Learning to Build Analytical Correlations from Rigorous Process Simulations: Application to CO2 Capture Technologies

“…This approach could find applications in refrigeration cycles, 87 natural gas liquefaction, 91 supply chain inventory control, 92 carbon capture, 93 process synthesis, 94 pharmaceutical processes, 95 semibatch bioprocesses, 27 and biorefineries, 96 to mention a few in chemical engineering and beyond. On the other hand, the applications are not limited to technology benchmarking, as discussed below.…”

Differential microthermometry enables high-throughput calorimetry

“…Thermal fluids are central to the current energy system 1,2 and to realizing the potential of industrial electrification, highpower computing, renewable energy generation, and energy storage. 3,4 The demands of these applications are distinct from those of the internal combustion engines that have driven the development of coolants for over a century.…”

Synergistic mediation of dual donor levels in CNS/BOCB-OV heterojunctions for enhanced photocatalytic CO2 reduction

“…In addition to energy conservation and emission reduction efforts, Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) can be pivotal in addressing high CO 2 concentrations. 6,7 In recent years, researchers have developed some technologies, such as dry reforming of CO 2 and CH 4 , 8,9 CO 2 hydrogenation, 10,11 and carbonylation reactions, 12 to utilize CO 2 as one of the raw materials for production of high-value fuels. These efforts can help not only mitigate the greenhouse effect but also alleviate energy crises.…”
