Description:
The
International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control is a peer reviewed journal focusing on scientific and engineering developments
in
greenhouse gas control through
capture and
storage at large stationary emitters in the power sector and in other
major resource, manufacturing and production industries. The Journal covers all greenhouse gas
emissions within the power and
industrial sectors, and comprises both technical and non-technical related literature in one volume. Original research, review and comments
papers are included.
The scope of the journal (whilst not exclusive to) includes:
CO2 Capture
New research
results relevant for large scale CO
2 capture systems using chemical solvents, solid sorbents, chemical looping, calcium looping,
membranes and membrane reactors and hybrid systems, PSA, cryogenics etc.
- Advances in CO2 capture processes (post
combustion, pre combustion, oxy combustion) for power plants, cement and steel plants, refineries, petrochemicals, and other large industries
- Experimental results at pilot level from laboratory scale to demonstration, and relevant modelling work for scaling up
- CO2
capture process simulation for energy penalty reductions. Dynamic modelling.
- Cost analyses and cost reduction strategies
- Environmental impacts/risk, safety and life-cycle assessment of capture facilities
CO2 Transport
- Design and material/technical issues for CO2 transport systems
- Economic analyses and systems level optimization
of CO2 transport systems
- Risk assessments and safety issues
- Permitting and regulatory issues
CO2 Geological Storage
- Geological formation/storage capacity assessments
- Matching emissions
sources and storage opportunities
- Site selection and characterization
- Modelling the fate and effects of stored CO2
- Integrity of the storage site, including caprocks and wells
- Test injection research results
- Risk assessments and
management
- Monitoring tool developments and applications
- Environmental impact assessments
- Demonstration project
results and operational experiences
- Induced seismicity, pressure maintenance, brine displacement, groundwater impacts
- Remediation
and measurement, monitoring and verification issues
- Experiences from natural/industrial analogues
Alternative
storage options
- Ex situ mineral carbonation (research results, safety/risk assessments, environmental/energy/legal issues,
public acceptance, regulation and costs)
- Advanced weathering
- Ocean storage
Alternative mitigation options/negative
emission options
- BioCCS and other bioenergy mitigation options
- Negative emission accounting principles
- Comparison
of different GHG mitigation options such as energy efficiency, renewables and nuclear power and their potential to reduce CO2
emissions
System Integration and
Infrastructure development
- Flexibility of operation of plants
and on energy systems, integration issues, infrastructure development issues, financing and policies
Implementation issues
- Legal and regulatory developments/issues
- Human/engineering capacity constraints
- Public awareness/acceptance
issues
- Industry case studies on GHG mitigation technology implementation, learning by doing, knowledge transfer, stakeholder
engagement and financing options
Integrated Assessments, economic instruments that would induce commercial CCS deployment
- Energy and economic modelling of the role that CCS will play in the broader portfolio of emissions mitigation options under
different scenarios
- Analyses of policy options (national and international) to reduce GHG emissions and how these impact the
commercial deployment of CCS systems
