This book describes the adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) by rocks. Carbon dioxide adsorption may play an important role in the geological storage of CO2, an essential component of carbon capture and storage (CCS) for achieving zero and negative carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Adsorption has wide applications elsewhere in industry. However, it has not received significant attention for its potential for CO2 storage, likely because the importance of CO2 adsorption on rocks is not widely recognized.
This book not only raises awareness of the importance of CO2 adsorption in CO2 storage, but also provides useful tools for research and development for the early deployment of CCS to contribute to the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rises.
Introduction.- Adsorption on solids and the potential of CO2 adsorption
on reservoir rocks.- Adsorption measurements under high pressure.- Evaluating
CO2 storage potential using apparent adsorption and effective density.-
Absolute adsorption and fraction of adsorbed CO2 in pore space.- Reduction of
overpressure due to adsorption.- CO2 adsorption and rock wettability.- Impact
of adsorption on CO2 storage capacity and efficiency.- Adsorbed CO2 in
post-injection phase.- Impact of adsorption on the fate of mobile CO2.-
Impact of adsorption on security and safety of CO2 storage.- Conclusions and
recommendations.
Jinsheng Wang is a research scientist in CanmetENERGY, Natural Resources Canada, where he has worked on clean energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and oil and gas related projects since 2000. He has a PhD in chemical engineering and industrial experience in chemical and gas technologies.
He has published on various topics related to his projects and is the principal author of a technical report of the International Energy Agencys Greenhouse Gas R&D Program (IEA GHG) concerning geological storage of CO2.
Philip Jaeger is full professor at Clausthal University of Technology. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering and is co-founder of Eurotechnica GmbH. His Venia Legendi is titled "Interfaces in enhanced oil and gas recovery". Over the past 30 years, he has published research on applications of supercritical fluids, system properties and colloidal behaviour at elevated pressures as well as carbon dioxide capture, storage and utilization. His current areas of research activities comprise phase/interphase behavior and mass transport in subsurface energy systems, handling of hydrogen as well as formation of dispersions at elevated pressures. Lectures given at Clausthal University cover topics related to subsurface energy production systems including geothermal energy.
