Carbon sequestration in leaky reservoirs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose in this paper a model of optimal Carbon Capture and Storage in which the reservoir of sequestered carbon is leaky, and pollution eventually is released into the atmosphere. We formulate the social planner problem as an optimal control program and we describe the optimal consumption paths as a function of the initial conditions, the physical constants and the economical parameters. In particular, we show that the presence of leaks may lead to situations which do not occur otherwise, including that of non-monotonous price paths for the energy.

Predicting and evaluating the effectiveness ofocean carbon sequestration by direct injection
Direct injection of CO2 into the ocean is a potentially effective carbon sequestration strategy. Therefore, we want to understand the effectiveness of oceanic injection and develop the appropriate analytic framework to allow us to compare the effectiveness of this strategy with other carbon management options. Here, after a brief review of direct oceanic injection, we estimate the effectiveness...
متن کاملEnhanced Gas Recovery with Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in a Water-drive Gas Condensate Reservoir: a Case Study in a Real Gas Field
Gas reservoirs usually have high recovery due to high mobility and low residual gas saturation, although some of them producing under water-drive mechanism have low recovery efficiency. Encroachment of water into these reservoirs traps considerable amount of gas and increases the maximum residual gas saturation, which results in the reduction of gas and condensate production. Generally, the rec...
متن کاملCarbon storage: the economic efficiency of storing CO2 in leaky reservoirs
Fossil fuels can be used with minimal atmospheric emissions of carbon dioxide by capturing and storing the CO2 away in geologic structures. However, stored CO2 can leak back to the atmosphere reducing the utility of this technology. To explore the trade-offs between discounting, leakage, the cost of sequestration and the energy penalty (the energy necessary to capture, transport and inject carb...
متن کاملPredicting the amount of sequestrated carbon in rangeland soil under the effect of soil sampling depth and height using the response surface methodology (RSM)
Background and objectives: Organic carbon is one of the important parameters to determine soil fertility, and production ability and is a mind index for showing soil quality, especially in dry and semi-dry lands. The rangelands are composed of about 50 % of the world's lands and have more than 33 % of carbon reservoirs on earth. Considering the ranges as the most important terrestrial ecosystem...
متن کاملCarbon Sequestration with Enhanced Gas Recovery: Identifying Candidate Sites for Pilot Study
Depleted natural gas reservoirs are promising targets for carbon dioxide sequestration. Although depleted, these reservoirs are not devoid of methane, and carbon dioxide injection may allow enhanced production of methane by reservoir repressurization or pressure maintenance. Based on the favorable results of numerous simulation studies, we propose a field test of the Carbon Sequestration with E...
