Marine pollution is a major concern but one that has to date been largely overlooked; thus, for example, it was not accounted for in the Paris agreement on climate change. Maritime fuel combustion currently contributes 3% of the annual global greenhouse gas emissions. Nearly all shipping-related emissions occur within 400 km of land and cause death and morbidity to millions of people. The initial greenhouse gas strategy on the reduction of carbon emissions to at least half of its 2008 levels by 2050, adopted by the International Maritime Organization, has the potential to spur innovations and alternative fuel, enabling the shipping industry to adapt to future challenges. Some zero-emission options such as the use of hydrogen and biofuels are considered potential strategies, but they lack the infrastructure capacity needed to meet the world's shipping demand. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has gained substantial interest as a marine fuel because it can comply with the strictest environmental regulations currently in force, and it is often regarded as a future fuel as most newly constructed ships are built to run on it. Although the use of LNG leads to lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional heavy fuel oils (HFOs), there is still a need to consider further reduction. A solution which can be implemented is the use of an onboard capture system on ships, also known as ship-based carbon capture. In this study, a process and economic evaluation was carried out on a solvent-based postcombustion capture process for the energy system of a CO2 carrier. A rate-based model was developed, validated, and scaled up to process the flue gas from a Wartsila 9L46 DF marine diesel engine. Different modes of operation with respect to engine load and capture rate were analyzed in this study, and the capture cost was estimated. The cost of CO2 capture was used as an economic index for this study. It was observed via a sensitivity analysis that, at 90% capture rate, the cost of capture was at least $117/t. The effect of exhaust gas recycling was also explored, and this resulted in a considerable reduction in the capture cost. The exhaust gas waste heat was utilized and was adequate to supply the required energy needed by the reboiler at each capture rate examined. Also, for LNG-fueled CO2 ships, the cold energy obtained while converting the LNG to gas was utilized to liquefy the captured CO2 from the flue gas.

The role of H2O in structural nitrogen migration during coal devolatilization under oxy-steam combustion conditions

Shuang Yue, Chunbo Wang, Yulin Huang, Ziyang Xu, Jiaying Xing, Edward J. Anthony

Summary: Oxy-steam combustion is a promising technology for reducing CO2 emissions. This study investigated the transformation and release of nitrogen under oxy-steam conditions, revealing that char prepared in a N-2/H2O atmosphere has higher nitrogen content compared to a N-2 atmosphere. The presence of OH radicals inhibits the transformation of N-Q to N-6 and promotes the conversion of N-6 to N-5, ultimately leading to lower emissions of HCN and NH3 under N-2/H2O conditions.

The effect of W and Mo modification on arsenic adsorption over Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalyst: Experimental and theoretical analysis

Jiaying Xing, Chunbo Wang, Yulin Huang, Shuang Yue, Edward J. Anthony

Summary: This study investigated the effect of W and Mo modification on arsenic adsorption over Cu/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst. Results showed that W and Mo modification improved the NO conversion activities at low temperatures and reduced the arsenic adsorption on Cu/gamma-Al2O3 catalyst. W modification had a stronger promotion effect on arsenic resistance compared to Mo modification, and the proportion of As5+ on the W-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface was larger than that on the Mo-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface. Theoretical simulations revealed that Al2O3 adsorption on Mo-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface was stronger than that on W-Cu/gamma-Al2O3 surface.

The role of H2O in NO formation and reduction during oxy-steam combustion of bituminous coal char

Shuang Yue, Chunbo Wang, Ziyang Xu, Dong Wang, Fei Zheng, Edward J. Anthony

Summary: This study compared NO emissions during oxy-steam and air combustion of coal char, emphasizing the role of H2O and its resulting radicals in NO formation and reduction reactions. High concentrations of H2O promote the formation of OH radicals and hydroxyl groups during oxy-steam combustion, affecting NO formation and reduction reactions and ultimately NO emissions.

Experimental assessment of a pilot scale hybrid cooling system for water consumption reduction in CSP plants

Patricia Palenzuela, Lidia Roca, Faisal Asfand, Kumar Patchigolla

Summary: The European Commission's new challenge is to limit water consumption in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants, with hybrid cooling systems seen as a potential solution. Experimental evaluation of a hybrid cooling pilot plant showed significant water savings of up to 67% at high ambient temperatures and 80% thermal load. Optimal operating strategies achieving a tradeoff between low water and electricity consumption were identified, with parallel configuration being the most efficient in most cases.

Shuang Yue, Chunbo Wang, Edward J. Anthony

Summary: A detailed investigation into the intrinsic kinetics mechanisms for the catalytic reduction of NO by Na-loaded char was conducted using DFT and TST calculations. The results revealed the essential role of the catalytic active center -O -Na in the interaction between NO and carbonaceous surface, with sensitivity to temperature and NO-to-CO stoichiometric ratio. Inspired by the findings, a conceptual approach for improving the catalytic performance of Na on NO reduction was proposed and shown to be theoretically feasible.

Summary: Capture and conversion of CO2 from optimal scenarios into fuels or chemicals provide a viable solution to combat climate change. The proposed synergistic integration of catalytic calcium-looping gasification of biochar can capture and in situ convert CO2. Experimental tests and characterizations showed that the mixture of limestone and K2CO3-impregnated biochar can enhance decarbonation kinetics and CO yield, maintaining stable CO2 conversion at lower temperatures. The process demonstrated practical scalability and cost-effectiveness, opening a unique direction for net-negative emission.

Design of a Novel CSP/MED Desalination System

Christopher Sansom, Kumar Patchigolla, Kranthi Jonnalagadda, Peter King

Summary: This article describes the design of a large-scale thermal seawater desalination demonstrator unit for arid locations with a medium-to-high direct normal irradiance (DNI). The majority of thermal energy is provided by a conventional parabolic trough field with a capacity of 4MWt. The desalination sub-system consists of a 3-effect multi-effect distillation (MED), with the first stage being a large 20-meter diameter glass and steel-structured geodesic transparent dome. The thermal energy is supplemented by direct sunlight transmitted through the dome and by a group of small heliostats focused on the dome. The prototype is currently under construction in Neom, Saudi Arabia.
