Abstract:
... The implementation of bulk energy storage (BES) technologies can help to achieve higher penetration and utilization of variable renewable energy technologies (e.g., wind and solar), but it can also alter the dispatch order in regional electricity systems in other ways. These changes to the dispatch order affect the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is emitted to the atmosphere and the amou ...

Abstract:
... Short-term electricity load forecasts and long-term projections of climate change impacts can benefit from understanding the relationship between electricity demand and meteorological conditions. We developed and applied a segmented regression technique to more than ten years of hourly electricity load data to estimate this relationship in two transmission zones in the United States that vary in t ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated how subsurface and atmospheric leakage from geologic CO₂ storage reservoirs could impact the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the global energy system. The Leakage Risk Monetization Model was used to estimate the costs of leakage for representative CO₂ injection scenarios, and these costs were incorporated into the Global Change Assessment Model. Worst-case ...

Abstract:
... We developed the Leakage Risk Monetization Model (LRiMM) which integrates simulation of CO₂ leakage from geologic CO₂ storage reservoirs with estimation of monetized leakage risk (MLR). Using geospatial data, LRiMM quantifies financial responsibility if leaked CO₂ or brine interferes with subsurface resources, and estimates the MLR reduction achievable by remediating leaks. We demonstrate LRiMM wi ...

Abstract:
... A hopeful vision of the future is a world in which both people and nature thrive, but there is little evidence to support the feasibility of such a vision. We used a global, spatially explicit, systems modeling approach to explore the possibility of meeting the demands of increased populations and economic growth in 2050 while simultaneously advancing multiple conservation goals. Our results demon ...

Abstract:
... In contrast to conventional hydrothermal systems or enhanced geothermal systems, CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG) systems generate electricity by using CO2 that has been geothermally heated due to sequestration in a sedimentary basin. Four CPG and two brine-based geothermal systems are modeled to estimate their power production for sedimentary basin reservoir depths between 1 and 5km, geothermal tempera ...

Abstract:
... Efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change will require deep reductions in anthropogenic CO₂ emissions on the scale of gigatonnes per year. CO₂ capture and utilization and/or storage technologies are a class of approaches that can substantially reduce CO₂ emissions. Even though examples of this approach, such as CO₂-enhanced oil recovery, are already being practiced on a scale >0.05 Gt/year ...

Abstract:
... CPG (CO2 Plume Geothermal) energy systems use CO2 to extract thermal energy from naturally permeable geologic formations at depth. CO2 has advantages over brine: high mobility, low solubility of amorphous silica, and higher density sensitivity to temperature. The density of CO2 changes substantially between geothermal reservoir and surface plant, resulting in a buoyancy-driven convective current – ...
