Abstract

The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path modeling of geological CO2 sequestration is based. In particular, a great effort is devoted to review the thermodynamic properties of CO2 and of the CO2-H2O system and the interactions in the aqueous solution, the thermodynamic stability of solid product phases (by means of several stability plots and activity plots), the volumes of carbonation reactions, and especially the kinetics of dissolution/precipitation reactions of silicates, oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates. Second, it intends to show the reader how reaction path modeling of geological CO2 sequestration is carried out. To this purpose the well-known high-quality EQ3/6 software package is used. Setting up of computer simulations and obtained results are described in detail and used EQ3/6 input files are given to guide the reader step-by-step from the beginning to the end of these exercises. Finally, some examples of reaction-path- and reaction-transport-modeling taken from the available literature are presented. The results of these simulations are of fundamental importance to evaluate the amounts of potentially sequestered CO2, and their evolution with time, as well as the time changes of all the other relevant geochemical parameters (e.g., amounts of solid reactants and products, composition of the aqueous phase, pH, redox potential, effects on aquifer porosity). In other words, in this way we are able to predict what occurs when CO2 is injected into a deep aquifer. * Provides applications for investigating and predicting geological carbon dioxide sequestration * Reviews the geochemical literature in the field * Discusses the importance of geochemists in the multidisciplinary study of geological carbon dioxide sequestration.

Abstract

Energie is ontegensprekelijk een 'hot item' in onze samenleving. Verschillende energievormen staan enerzijds met elkaar in concurrentie, maar vullen elkaar anderzijds ook aan. Het belang van aardgas als energiebron neemt overal ter wereld fors toe. Dit boek behandelt de aardgasketen vanaf de exploratie en productie van aardgas tot de toepassing ervan bij de verbruiker. Er wordt aandacht geschonken aan zowel de technische en economische aspecten als aan de politieke context van de aardgasindustrie. 
Wat is de samenstelling en wat zijn de eigenschappen van aardgas? Hoe wordt het gevonden, ontgonnen, behandeld en gestockeerd? Hoe lang zal er nog aardgas zijn? Welke factoren beïnvloeden de aardgasprijs? Welke invloed heeft aardgas op het milieu? Deze en tal van andere vragen komen uitgebreid aan bod. 
Het boek richt zich tot iedereen die interesse heeft in de hedendaagse energieproblematiek. Het richt zich onder andere tot ingenieurs, economisten, politiek en sociaal verantwoordelijken en studenten.

Abstract

CO2 emissions from energy production and consumption are a major contributor to climate change.  Thus, stabilising CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere by reducing these emissions is an increasingly urgent international necessity.  Carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents one of the most promising potential solutions to contain emissions resulting from continued use of coal and other fossil fuels.  However, challenges such as a lack of legal and regulatory frameworks to guide near-term demonstration projects and long-term technology expansion must be addressed to facilitate the expanded use of CCS.    In October 2006, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) convened with legal experts,to discuss the range of legal issues associated with expanded use of CCS and to identify ways to facilitate further CCS development and implementation  Participants examined gaps and barriers to the deployment of CCS and identified recommendations to guide further development of appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks.    This publication provides policymakers with a detailed summary of the main legal issues surrounding the CCS debate, including up-to-date background information, case studies and conclusions on the best legal and regulatory approaches to advance CCS.  These strategies can be used to enable further development, deployment and demonstration of CCS technology, potentially an essential element in global efforts to mitigate climate change.
