The ENCASE project

The Advantages of CCS Networks. CCS networks are rapidly emerging as the preferred deployment method. These networks connect geographically proximate #CO2emissionsources to nearby geological storage sites, relying on either pipeline or ship transport for CO2 movement. CCS networks are often referred to as the "hub and cluster" model, signifying the "clusters" of emission sources and the central "hub" that collects CO2 for redistribution to the designated storage location. Network implementation leverages economies of scale, translating to reduce per-unit construction and operational costs for CO2 pipelines. Additionally, it lowers entry barriers for smaller CCS projects, playing a crucial role in accelerating emission reduction efforts while fostering local job creation. Several international projects have successfully implemented network strategies. Do you want to know more?     Please check 👉 https://www.encase-eu.com  And subscribe to our #NEWSLETTER!

Greetings from #Brussels! #ENCASEProject team attended the inspiring conference "Research Infrastructures in a Changing Global, Environmental and Socio-Economic Context", organized by the Belgian Presidency Council of the European Union BELSPO Project Coordinator Lan Liu and Mário Silva from Institute for Energy Technology participated in two days of interesting discussions about the future of #research infrastructures as drivers of excellent science, innovation, and technology in today's rapidly changing world. The conference also explored the value of RIs in contributing to key political objectives like the #GreenDeal, and their relationships with national and regional RIs, as well as other initiatives and instruments.

The 3rd General Assembly meeting of the #ENCASEproject took place at Politecnico di Milano #PiacenzaCampus, and at the LEAP s.c.a r.l. Tecnopolo #Piacenza. During these two interesting days, there were numerous points of reflection. On the second day, Dr. Alina Kadyrova and Dr. Francesca Calò of The Open University conducted the second co-creation #workshop live, they introduced different step about co-creation and they did a one-to-one mentoring session with each partner.

🔵 Optimizing #Pipeline Networks for Efficient #CO2 #Transportation 🔵 Pipelines remain the most cost-effective and energy-efficient method for large-scale CO2 transport in #CCS projects. Here are some key aspects of optimizing pipeline networks: • Pipeline Design and Materials: CO2 pipelines are constructed with corrosion-resistant materials like carbon steel with a protective lining to withstand the acidic nature of CO2. • CO2 Stream Composition: Maintaining a high-purity CO2 stream minimizes the risk of pipeline corrosion and ensures compatibility with existing pipeline infrastructure. • Pressure Management: Optimizing pipeline pressure throughout the transport network balances energy consumption for CO2 compression while ensuring sufficient flow rates. • Advanced Leak Detection Systems: Implementing continuous leak detection technologies like distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) allows for rapid identification and repair of any potential pipeline leaks. 🔵 Do you want to know more?

🔵 CO2 Transportation Methods 🔵 While #pipelines are the dominant method for transporting large volumes of #CO2 in #CCS projects, other transportation technologies play a vital role, particularly for projects with limited pipeline infrastructure or geographically dispersed capture facilities. Here's a glimpse into some key alternatives: • #Trucks: Used for short-distance CO2 movement, typically within a 100km radius of the capture facility. They offer flexibility for smaller-scale projects or transporting CO2 to nearby injection sites lacking pipeline connectivity. • #Ships: Ideal for transporting CO2 over long distances, especially for projects situated near coastal regions with access to suitable ports. Large-scale CO2 shipment technology leverages existing infrastructure and expertise from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. • #Trains: Offer a potentially cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for medium-distance CO2 transport, particularly for established rail networks. 🔵 Do you want to know more?

CO2 - how hard can it be? Here´s a little something we prepared earlier. It is a 70 bar optical cell containing CO2 with some impurities in the form of N2 and O2 and H2O. If we cool it under tap water, the mixture turns into a liquid, and if we heat it under tap water, it turns into what we refer to as dense phase. The picture below shows the mixture at an intermediate temperature where we have both a gas and a liquid phase. See comments below for more illustrations of what may happen with gaskets and o-rings in such systems following pressure changes. #encase #falcon #ife #ECCSEL #gigaccs The ENCASE project Institute for Energy Technology https://lnkd.in/dUeBRurb Work by Joar Amundsen

🔵 The Critical Role of #CCS in Achieving Net-Zero Emissions 🔵 Based on the scenarios outlined in the #IPCC reports and following #European directives, the implementation of #CO2 capture technologies represents a crucial element for achieving #carbonneutrality by 2050. It complements other strategies like #renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency by mitigating climate change by capturing CO2 emissions before atmospheric release or facilitating their removal from the existing atmospheric burden. In #Europe, there are today about 70 #CCUS (Carbon capture, utilization, and storage) projects at various stages of development and an extensive pipeline network for both onshore and offshore transport already exists worldwide.   🔵 Do you want to know more?

📄 Dr. Teke Xu, Dr. Martynov Sergey, and Prof. Haroun Mahgerefteh, partners of #ENCASEproject from UCL, recently presented a poster titled "A review of problems and methods of optimizing sensor grids for #CO2 pipeline transport networks" at the ChemEngDay UK 2024 conference (hosted by Imperial College London). The conference addresses cutting-edge research and new technologies across five contemporary research themes, where the poster is on the theme of "#NetZero energy pathways". The poster highlights ENCASE’s contribution to designing a novel monitoring system for #transportingCO2 via pipeline networks, which is a subtask of the #ENCASE project. Through collaborative research, ENCASE aims to develop innovative solutions for safe CO2 transporting and injection with mixtures to meet the fast development of the Carbon Capture and Storage (#CCS) industry. 🔵 Do you want to know more?
