  • Geophysics and the Energy Transition

    • 1st Edition
    • Malcolm Wilson + 2 more
    • English
    Geophysics and the Energy Transition involves four sections: What is the Energy Transition and why storage so important; selecting sites for storage; advanced monitoring technology; and moving forward to integrating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) within the Energy Transition. Geophysics will also play a role in finding and developing alternatives to fossil fuels such as natural hydrogen and geothermal using much of the knowledge gained from the CO2 storage industry. To provide the public and others with the confidence to move forward with a structured and cost-effective energy transition, this book provides the necessary evidence that we can store CO2 safely and effectively and use this as a significant component of the energy transition. We can also find and store new energy sources. Geophysics and the Energy Transition is written by experts in the field who have practiced the science and engineering associated with the subsurface for years. CCS is an integral component of the new energy transition but the application of Geophysics in the future will extend well beyond CCS if we are going to transition successfully to a carbon neutral environment. Science, engineering, and technology applications are important for site selection, characterization and monitoring to assure safe storage in the subsurface and energy sustainability in the future.

  • Introduction to Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs

    • 1st Edition
    • Ramesh Agarwal + 1 more
    • English
    Carbon capture and sequestration has become an essential technology for addressing the mitigation of global warming and adverse climate change due to increasing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion worldwide. However, the scientific/engineeri... community still lacks thorough and practical knowledge about various types of reservoirs capable of effective long-term CO2 sequestration. Introduction to Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of CO2 Sequestration in Various Types of Reservoirs pulls together the relevant basic scientific knowledge and applications to help reservoir engineering practitioners learn and utilize the potential of CO2 sequestration in saline, oil, gas, shale, basalt, and geothermal reservoirs. After presenting the fundamental properties of various reservoirs, the authors describe each type of reservoir and explain basic parameters, benchmark cases, experimental data, optimization strategies for CO2 sequestration, prospects, and outlook. Rounding out the text with a glossary and consideration of future developments, this book delivers the necessary tools for engineers to better understand carbon sequestration and advance the energy transition.

  • Environmental Sustainability and Global Change

    Forests, Agriculture, and Soils vis à vis Human Disturbance
    • 1st Edition
    • Luca Salvati
    • English
    Environmental Sustainability and Global Change: Forests, Agriculture, and Soils vis à vis Human Disturbance offers an integrated approach to the socio-environmental dynamics of the ecological-economic nexus characteristic of Mediterranean landscapes. Evidencing the role of policies targeting sustainable development goals in Southern Europe, case studies from Italy, Spain, and Greece confirm the need of place-specific approaches to socio-ecological complexity and the partial effectiveness of generalized, top-down measures. Authored by leading scholars in Southern Europe – with eminent contributions from Eastern Europe – the book identifies the intrinsic peculiarity of the environmental-econom... nexus characteristic of the Northern Mediterranean basin, along with important regional differences.Stimulat... a spatial planning for rural areas, the book proposes a dynamic image of Mediterranean rural landscapes, providing novel interpretations, conceptual definitions, and operational tools designed to reduce ecological fragility and economic vulnerability.
