Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your high-quality manuscripts to this Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advances in Industrial Decarbonisation: From Hydrogen and CO2 Transportation to Underground Storage”. This Special Issue will aim to gather multi- and interdisciplinary contributions on industrial decarbonisation, including theoretical and experimental studies in addition to critical assessments of case studies (e.g., in UK and Norway), policies, and modelling approaches at different scales, which can be of relevance to scientists, researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in different countries.

Contributions with emphasis on both fundamental research and applications will be very welcome. Our suggested topics include but are not limited to experimental and theoretical advances in:

- Hydrogen storage in geological formations.

- Hydrogen and CO2 storage in depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs.

- Hydrogen and CO2 flow measurement.

- Hydrogen and CO2 associated flow assurance challenges and potential solutions.

- Reactive flow in porous media during hydrogen and CO2 storage processes.

- Thermodynamics of hydrogen- and CO2-rich streams.

- Safety and security of hydrogen transportation.

- CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers.

- Wellbore and transportation pipelines integrity with hydrogen- and CO2-rich streams.

- Hydrogen and CO2 leakage mitigation and monitoring.

We look forward to receiving manuscript submissions of your original research articles and comprehensive reviews along with well-documented case studies to this Special Issue.

As an energy-intensive industry sector, the glass industry is strongly affected by the increasingly stringent climate protection targets. As established combustion-based production systems ensure high process stability and glass quality, an immediate switch to low greenhouse gas emission processes is difficult. To approach these challenges, this work investigates a step-by-step integration of a Power-to-Hydrogen concept into established oxyfuel glass melting processes using a simulation approach. This is complemented by a case study for economic analysis on a selected German glass industry site by simulating the power production of a nearby renewable energy park and subsequent optimization of the power-to-hydrogen plant performance and capacities. The results of this study indicate, that the proposed system can reduce specific carbon dioxide emissions by up to 60%, while increasing specific energy demand by a maximum of 25%. Investigations of the impact of altered combustion and furnace properties like adiabatic flame temperature (+25 °C), temperature efficiency (Δξ = −0.003) and heat capacity flow ratio (ΔzHL = −0.009) as a function of H2 content in the fuel mixture and resulting furnace efficiencyindicate that pure hydrogen-oxygen combustion has less impact on melting properties than assumed so far. Within the case study, high CO2 abatement costs of 295 €/t CO2-eq. were determined. This is mainly due to the insufficient performance of renewable energy sources. The correlations between process scaling and economic parameters presented in this study show promising potential for further economic optimization of the proposed energy system in the future.

Geological storage of CO2 in saline aquifers and depleted oil and gas reservoirs can help mitigate CO2 emissions. However, CO2 leakage over a long storage period represents a potential concern. Therefore, it is critical to establish a good understanding of the interactions between CO2–brine and cement–caprock/reservoir rock to ascertain the potential for CO2 leakage. Accordingly, in this work, we prepared a unique set of composite samples to resemble the cement–reservoir rock interface. A series of experiments simulating deep wellbore environments were performed to investigate changes in chemical, physical, mechanical, and petrophysical properties of the composite samples. Here, we present the characterisation of composite core samples, including porosity, permeability, and mechanical properties, determined before and after long-term exposure to CO2-rich brine. Some of the composite samples were further analysed by X-ray microcomputed tomography (X-ray µ-CT), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDX). Moreover, the variation of ions concentration in brine at different timescales was studied by performing inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis. Although no significant changes were observed in the porosity, permeability of the treated composite samples increased by an order of magnitude, due mainly to an increase in the permeability of the sandstone component of the composite samples, rather than the cement or the cement/sandstone interface. Mechanical properties, including Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, were also reduced. Full article
