Geologic carbon dioxide sequestration from the Mexican oil industry : an action plan
… for practical ways of reducing their industrial carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Capturing massive quantities of CO₂ from flue gases (at large stationary sources) and storing them in geologic formations is a technically feasible and ecologically convenient way to close the "fossil fuel life …

Stabilization of MSW combustion residues by accelerated carbonation treatment and their potential carbon dioxide sequestration
… Among the different treatment options, the carbonation process and the water washing treatment have been recently introduced. The carbonation process stabilises the material by changing its mineralogical and chemical characteristics and, it has shown a general reduction of the metal …

Pyrolysis and Hydrodynamics of Fluidized Bed Media
Interest in non-traditional fuel sources, carbon dioxide sequestration, and cleaner combustion has brought attention on gasification to supplement fossil fueled energy, particularly by a fluidized bed. Developing tools and methods to predict operation and performance of gasifiers will lead to more …

Sequence Stratigraphy and Architecture of Lower Pennsylvanian Strata, Southern West Virginia: Potential for Carbon Sequestration and Enhanced Coal-Bed Methane Recovery in the Pocahontas Basin
Carbon dioxide sequestration in coal-bed methane fields has potential to add significant recoverable reserves and extend the production life of coal-bed methane fields while at the same time providing a geologic sink for atmospheric greenhouse gases. The ability to relate the thickness, extent, and …

Development of macroscopic nanoporous graphene membranes for gas separation
… natural gas purification, hydrogen production, carbon dioxide sequestration, and oxy-combustion. For such applications, gas separation membranes are attractive because they offer relatively low energy costs but can be limited by low flow rates and low selectivities. Nanoporous graphene membranes …
