System Dynamics of Carbon Capture and Storage
A techno-economic analysis of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is presented using system dynamics. These models fully couple the CCS subsystems of carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, transport, and storage as an integrated system with feedback and control. Simulations are presented for CO2 captured from …

The role of industrial carbon capture and storage in emissions mitigation
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology holds potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector. Industrial CCS applications, however, are more challenging to analyze than CCS in the power sector - mainly due to the vast heterogeneity in industrial and fuel processes. I …

Public awareness of carbon capture and storage : a survey of attitudes toward climate change mitigation
The Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technologies Program in the Laboratory for Energy and the Environment at MIT conducted a survey of public attitudes on energy use and environmental concerns. Over 1,200 people, representing a general population sample of the United States, responded. The survey …
