Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will have to turn into a massive industry in order to play a significant role in the mitigation of anthropogenic climate change. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) directive establishes that emissions captured, transported, and stored are considered as ‘not...

The gasification kinetics of charcoals and biomass chars is complicated by several factors, including chemical and physical inhomogeneities, the presence of mineral matter, and the irregular geometry of the pore structure. Even the theoretically deduced gasification models can only provide empirical...

CO₂ refrigeration units are gaining market shares thanks to the ability to provide an energy efficient performance for industrial and commercial refrigeration applications in any climate. As with all the applications, the investment and operation costs should be kept as low as possible, to reduce...

The critical mass flow rate is the maximum flow rate that can pass through a constrained geometry such as a nozzle. For liquid CO₂, it has been shown that homogeneous relaxation models systematically underpredict the critical mass flow rate. In this work, we demonstrate that a delay of the phase...

Enabling cost-efficient low-carbon footprint hydrogen production is key to achieve the ambition of the Paris Agreement. This study aims to understand the techno-economic performances of hydrogen production from natural gas without and with carbon capture and storage. A hydrogen plant, based on...
