Exploiting the Deep Oceans for Energy Retrieval and for the Burial of Carbon Dioxide

نویسنده

چکیده

The paper describes two concomitant problems of much concern in the 21 century; namely of dwindling energy resources and of the effects of man-made climatic change, largely due to the over-production of carbon dioxide. The paper shows that these problems have occurred due to man’s continuing requirement for a more comfortable life and how the deep oceans can be used to achieve this. The paper explains that man’s requirement for a longer and more comfortable life is natural and as we cannot look back, the problems must be addressed; possibly by the skills of the scientist and the

Global pulses of organic carbon burial in deep-sea sediments during glacial maxima.

The burial of organic carbon in marine sediments removes carbon dioxide from the ocean-atmosphere pool, provides energy to the deep biosphere, and on geological timescales drives the oxygenation of the atmosphere. Here we quantify natural variations in the burial of organic carbon in deep-sea sediments over the last glacial cycle. Using a new data compilation of hundreds of sediment cores, we s...

Measurement and Analysis of Green Energy Economy Indicators in Iran (Measurement of Carbon Dioxide Emission and its Elasticity)

Achieving sustainable economic growth is one of the most important goals of countries' economic programs and policies in the current era. Along with economic growth, consumption of energy rises. Since fossil fuels provide a major share of the world's energy, increased fuel consumption is an inevitable feature of economic growth.  Continuation of this trend increases greenhouse gas emmissions, n...

Investigation of the interaction of carbon dioxide fluid with internal and external single-wall carbon nanotubes by DFT

The effective parameters of (5, 0) and (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes during the interaction with carbon dioxide as sensors are determined. The interaction of carbon dioxide  molecules with internal and external walls of the nanotubes is studied using Gaussian 03 coding by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. CO2 rotation around tube axles vertically and par...

Exergy and Energy Analysis of Effective Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in the Gas-to-Methanol Process

Two process models are used to convert carbon dioxide into methanol. These processes have been extended and improved using Aspen Plus simulator software. Both processes are found in the CO2 correction system. In this machine, the desired synthesis gas is produced in a flexible configuration. At the same time, the conversion of CO2 to hydrogen via a copper-based catalyst ha...
