Natural gas releases 45–50% less CO2 emissions as compared with coal and the liquefaction process is employed for storage and transport of liquefied natural gas that is an energy-intensive process. Numerous scientific efforts are being directed to…
China has been attempting to realise green sustainable economic development. Thus, China has proposed and begun to implement the ‘switching from coal to gas’ policy to realise the energy structure transition but neglected to consider seasonal natural…
Hydrogen is a clean fuel that can potentially revolutionize the energy supply chain and decarbonize fuel consumption. However, a key hurdle that needs to be overcome before a full-scale hydrogen economy can be established is hydrogen storage which is…
Geomechanical evaluation of CO2 underground disposal is complex and can be even more challenging in coal reservoirs due to natural fractures and combined effects of multi-component transport. The objective of the research work presented in this paper…
We conducted simulation experiments on supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2)-H2O-rock interactions for caprock samples obtained from the Qinshui Basin, China, to explore the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection on the sealing capability of deep…
The Baode block on the eastern margin of the Ordos Basin is a key area for the development of low-rank coalbed methane (CBM) in China. In order to find out the genesis of CBM and its storage and seepage space in Baode block, the isotopic testing of…
Alongside the rapid expansion of wind power installation in China, wind curtailment is also mounting rapidly due to Chinas energy endowment imbalance. The hydrogen-based wind-energy storage system becomes an alternative to solve the puzzle of wind…
By modifying underground spaces of abandoned coal mines into underground pumped storage power stations, it can realize the efficient and reasonable utilization of underground space and, at the same time, meet the increasing demand for energy storage…
To mitigate global warming to temperatures no higher than 2 C or even less than 1.5 C, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is indispensable. This is especially true for China, which relies heavily on coal-fired power plants. In China, CCS could play an…
Recent progress in the synthesis of carbon materials from biomass and coal/heavy oil waste and their use as the electrode materials of supercapacitors and Li-ion batteries is reviewed. The carbon precursors include seafood and agricultural waste, and…
