Description
As the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) continues to rise, it is imperative that we develop technologies that not only mitigate CO2 emissions, but also remove CO2 directly from the atmosphere. There are a variety of approaches that are being developed to do just this, and many approaches will be required to achieve a meaningful scale to mitigate climate change. In our work, we have been developing a novel, land-based magnesium oxide looping process to capture CO2 from the air. The process takes in magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) and calcines the material at high temperatures (roughly 600 – 900ºC) to produce amorphous MgO. The produced MgO is subsequently spread out over land to carbonate for a year. Following carbonation, the mineral is recollected and recalcined to reproduce MgO and a high purity stream of CO2. The MgO can then be spread out over the land to carbonate again. The resulting CO2 may be compressed and stored geologically or otherwise utilized. This carbon removal approach demonstrates the potential for high impact, low cost carbon removal.
Preliminary experiments were performed to corroborate the experimental uptake rate of CO2 onto MgO. Additional laboratory experiments will focus on the effect of the ambient reaction conditions on the overall kinetic rate. Further, there are planned experiments for a small pilot test that will use 1 m by 1 m containers of MgO to determine the viability of the process in open, realistic ambient conditions, as well as the impact of different experimental parameters on the reaction rate (including bed depth, particle size distribution and material vendor). These parameters will to optimize the MgO looping process and determine the potential impact as a carbon removal approach.

Pipeline lifetime extension
|
30 Sep 2020
|
Online
|
FREE
|
Login to Book
|
|
Description
Ageing subsea infrastructure in the oil and gas industry is a concern around the world. Operators must demonstrate that they are not exposing society to a greater risk through continued operation as pipeline systems that convey their products are operating close to or even past their design lives. An extension to the operating life of the pipelines is an obvious step, but to do this a pipeline lifetime extension assessment is required to assess and demonstrate the viability of continued operation.
This webinar focuses on case studies of projects performed around the Asia region, as well as providing an overview of the LTE process itself. As the industry recognised guidance document for lifetime extension, ISO TS 12747, is now being adopted in parts of Asia there is a growing requirement for collaboration and sharing of ideas in this sector. The presenter will discuss the factors to consider prior to extending operating life and highlight the available means of assessment to allow remnant life to be determined.
Notes:
30 September 2020
|
Who should attend
This webinar will be particularly beneficial to those in the Asia region that:
- Are responsible for pipeline systems where operation beyond the design life is desirable
- Are integrity engineers responsible for sanctioning or performing lifetime extension assessments
- Are representatives of regulatory bodies tasked with verifying the safe and responsible operation of pipelines
|
Benefits of Attending
- Understand the pipeline lifetime extension process and some of the studies necessary to assess remnant life
- Become aware of the considerations for various time-dependant and time-independent degradation mechanisms through case studies focussed on projects completed in the Asia region
- See where the future of lifetime extension lies and the developments ahead

Seizing the opportunity to raise hydrocarbon taxation

FREE

Login to Book

Description
In this webinar, the panel will talk about how to address the uneven playing field of energy, where fossil fuels attract large subsidies compared to clean and renewable technologies.
Daniel Hardy and William Todts will discuss how to level the playing field of energy on a permanent basis, where fossil fuels attract large subsidies compared to clean and renewable technologies.
Daniel will discuss the desirability and feasibility of raising carbon taxes following the collapse in oil and other energy prices caused by the COVID-19 crisis and other factors. He will suggest that there is a political opportunity to introduce higher duties on hydrocarbons – a necessary component of any strategy to decarbonize the economy – while leaving retail prices unchanged. This strategy would incentivize long-term investment in sustainable energy, while generating revenue at a time of huge fiscal deficits and helping finance the “green transition” in a socially tolerable way.
By September 2020 it is anticipated that the EU will set out the new phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) that will bring transportation into a carbon taxation system for the first time. William will speak on how best to set appropriate incentives for the transportation sector, suggesting that it may be better to have a specific fuel tax. A specific transport tax is more progressive and more suited to the technology on hand. It can be designed to rise over time as non-carbon based technologies mature, thus supporting trends such as the wider uptake of electric vehicles. William will touch on the importance of complementary and coordinated policies in the EU and in its neighbours, including the UK from 2011.
