Carbon Capture, Storage and Utilisation Technologies | Book Publisher International

This study is a review of current and future applications of methods of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the bioconversion processes which aims to address the issue and cover various CCS technologies and their efficacy in reducing carbon emissions. A qualitative analysis of published papers is employed throughout to address the objectives.

 

The results of this study show that, currently, oxyfuel, pre-combustion, and post-combustion technologies are most prevalent in the field of carbon capture implementation. The possibility of retrofitting the aforementioned technologies to existing plants and the subsequent benefits and drawbacks are discussed. The implementation of CCS has been observed most notably in the cement industry and in industries where carbon emissions are significant (e.g., refineries).

 

Moreover, a number of new promising CCS technologies are described and discussed concurrently with their prospects for future developments (e.g., fuel cells, membranes, and chemical looping).

 

Specific case studies of organizations involved in CCS have enabled comparisons to be drawn in relation to the financial costs and practicality of implementation. It has been noted that countries must offer incentives and assistance to organizations in order to motivate them to adopt CCS technologies. Additionally, sufficient conditions which are favourable to investors must be met in order to make venturing into carbon capture appealing and sustainable for them. The government may achieve this by legally imposing quotas on carbon emissions from specific industries, which creates an environment in which the CCS technologies become lucrative.

 

It is suggested that it is important to explore the development of advanced plant designs that incorporate integration concepts and CCS technologies. For example, Shell has been exemplified as the leader of technological advancements in CCS and for the company’s venture into developing CCS for refineries.

 

Public awareness is also an important aspect of ensuring the future of CCS technologies and projects. If people are well informed regarding the environmental and health impacts of carbon emissions, they are more likely to support and convince the government to adopt CCS technologies.

Possibility of Using Fuel Cells and Hybrid Energy Systems for Energy Generation in Venizelio Hospital in Crete, Greece | Chapter 6 | Geography, Earth Science and Environment: Research Highlights Vol. 7

Hospitals operate continuously all over the year and their specific energy consumption is high compared with other types of buildings. They mainly use fossil fuels and grid electricity while the use of renewable energy sources is limited so far. The possibility of using a) fuel cell and b) a hybrid energy system consisting of a fuel cell and solar photovoltaic modules to meet the heat and power demand in Venizelio Hospital located in Crete, Greece has been studied. The energy consumption in several sectors in Venizelio Hospital has been used in estimations. Our results indicated that a fuel cell with a capacity of 1,397 KW can meet the heat and power demand in the hospital producing excess heat at 2,451 MWh_th per year. In the case of the hybrid energy system, a fuel cell with a capacity of 697.5 KW and a solar photovoltaic system with a nominal capacity of 1,629 KW_p can meet the heat and power demand in the hospital. The total installation cost of the hybrid energy system, at 3,726,500 €, was lower than the installation cost of the fuel cell at 4,191,000 €. Our work indicates that the use of sustainable energy systems can replace the use of fossil fuels in hospitals reducing their carbon emissions and increasing their energy resilience. The results could be useful to policymakers, hospitals’ authorities and energy companies which design and install sustainable energy systems.

Study of Controllers for an Isolated Full Bridge Boost Converter Topology in Fuel Cell Applications: A Comparative Approach | Chapter5 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

In recent years, renewable energy sources have become a fascinating study topic, and fuel cells have emerged as a viable alternative for generating power to address the energy crisis. This sparked interest in power conditioning systems, which connect the fuel cell to the grid. Among the several converter topologies, the isolated full bridge boost converter (IFBC) is the most suitable for fuel cell applications. This paper proposes a Predictive Switching Modulator (PSM) Control for the converter architecture, and its performance is compared to Linear Peak Control. Non-Linear Carrier Control (NLCC) and Current Mode Control (LPCM) (NLC). Three controllers (LPCM, NLC, and PSM) are used to operate the chosen IFBC converter, and simulation is performed using MATLAB with a fuel cell as the input source. The three controllers are then evaluated in terms of time response parameters, with the suggested PSM control emerging as the superior controller for obtaining quick responses while overcoming uncertainties and maintaining steady state stability.
