Regulatory promotion of emergent CCS technology - Topical report | 2014-01 | CCS technology; climate change; mitigation strategies; carbon capture and sequestration | Despite the growing inevitability of climate change and the attendant need for mitigation strategies, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) has yet to gain much traction in the United States. Recent regulatory proposals by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), limited in scope to new-buil... |

Underground coal thermal treatment - Task 6 topical report, Utah Clean Coal Program | 2015-01 | transformational energy production; insitu thermal treatment of a coal seam; coal reserves; underground coal thermal treatment; Utah Clean Coal Program; coal resources | The long-term objective of this task is to develop a transformational energy production technology by in situ thermal treatment of a coal seam for the production of substitute natural gas and/or liquid transportation fuels while leaving much of the coal's carbon in the ground. This process converts ... |

Chemical looping combustion kinetics | 2009-12-01 | chemical looping; combustion kinetics; CO2 capture; coal-fired power plants; CLC | One of the most promising methods of capturing CO2 emitted by coal-fired power plants for subsequent sequestration is chemical looping combustion (CLC). A powdered metal oxide such as NiO transfers oxygen directly to a fuel in a fuel reactor at high temperatures with no air present. Heat, water, and... |

Bitumen extraction and treatment and reuse of process water | 2009-04-13 | bitumen extraction; bitumen treatment; reuse of process water; produced water; crude oil production; gas production; pressure-assisted ozonation technology; oil removal from water; wastewater treatment; hydrocarbon removal | Produced water from gas and crude oil production is voluminous, requiring extensive treatment before it can be safely discharged or reused. This project has used a newly developed pressure-assisted ozonation technology to remove oil from water and prevent oil sheen at the water surface. The new proc... |
