“This comprehensive review explores the state of the art of specific data, models, and tools for the application of QRA to CCS technologies, addressing each of the specific steps of the CCS value chain: CO2 capture, conditioning, transport, injection, and storage into geological formations.”

🌍Spotlight on the University of Bologna’s Research conducted in COREu🌍 We are excited to share an insightful article by our esteemed partner, the University of Bologna (Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna), on the quantitative risk assessment of the CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) value chain, conducted within the COREu EU Project. The COREu project (CO2 Routes Across Europe) is at the forefront of developing and optimizing safe, efficient, and sustainable CO2 transportation networks across Europe. This initiative is pivotal for achieving our climate goals and ensuring a sustainable future. This research by the University of Bologna provides comprehensive insights into the risks associated with the CCS value chain, offering critical data and methodologies to enhance the safety and reliability of CO2 transportation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our colleagues at the University of Bologna for their outstanding work and dedication. Your contributions are instrumental to the success of the COREu project and our collective efforts to combat climate change. #COREuProject #CCS #Sustainability #ClimateAction #UniversityOfBologna #Innovation #Research #EnvironmentalScience #CarbonCapture

Innovative Facilities Solutions has been deploying the Powerhouse for over 8 years. It is a solid system and has been proven over and over again with our customers! It has major positive electrical impact on a facilities internal electrical grid bringing it into unity. It also has a positive impact for the utility supplying the power by reducing Kvar(Reactive Power), KVA(Apparent Power),and correcting Power Factor. Grid Stress is reduced for the utility allowing them to allocate Demand(KW) in a more efficient manner! This is important to utilities these days for Demand is on the rise with the advent of EV charging stations, AI server banks, and expanded commercial development. #power optimization #energy efficiency #sustainability

🌟 Exciting News from ERCE! 🌟 Our team members, Paul Chernik, Matteo Caniggia, and Ellen Mitchell, have co-authored a must-read paper: "Effective communication in an emerging CCS industry – an application of the SPE SRMS to convey contingencies, uncertainties, commerciality, and progress to project approval". In a rapidly growing Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) industry, clear communication is key. This paper dives into how the SPE SRMS can help simplify and effectively communicate complex aspects like project uncertainties and progress.

However, achieving these ambitious goals cannot be done through continuous improvement, energy management, and simple business cases alone. Instead, companies need to develop a master plan that incorporates “future state planning”. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀? Future state planning involves designing a future state where the goals of significant carbon reduction can be achieved. This may include full electrification and novel production processes, also with focus on how we believe the technical opportunities and surrounding society will be in the future. The future state also needs to address the needed robustness, possible expansion of production capacity, resilience and sustainability of the future site 🦾♻ Read more about how we shift our mindset in terms of future state planning and how it can result in concrete plans that include how e.g. sufficient electrical capacity is ordered in due time, and how to think about your equipment in terms of replacement and prioritisation.
