This paper quantitatively characterises the microstructure in shales across five scales in 3D, builds a multi-scale model of CH 4 and CO 2 flow pathways and storage, and assesses the potential of enhanced gas recovery and CO 2 storage simultaneously. Injection of CO 2 i...

Fiber reinforced polymers play a crucial role as enablers of lightweight and high performing structures to increase efficiency in aviation. However, the ever-increasing awareness for the environmental impacts has led to a growing interest in bio-based and recycled ‘eco-...

International audience; Much academic research on low-carbon transitions focuses on the diffusion or use of innovations such as electric vehicles or solar panels, but overlooks or obscures downstream and upstream processes, such as mining or waste flows. Yet it is at th...

Erosion of volcanic islands ultimately creates shallow banks and guyots, but the ways in which erosion proceeds to create them over time and how the coastline retreat rate relates to wave conditions, rock mass strength and other factors are unclear. The Capelinhos volca...

Abstract The physical mechanisms that control the flow dynamics in organic-rich shale are not well understood. The challenges include nanometer-scale pores and multiscale heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of the constituents. Recently, digital rock physics (DRP)...

Recycling carbon fibre is crucial in the reduction of waste from the increasing use of carbon fibre reinforced composites in industry. The reclaimed fibres, however, are usually short and discontinuous as opposed to the continuous virgin carbon fibre. In this work, shor...

For gas sweetening, physical solvents (e.g. Selexol, Rectisol and Fluor) are favored over chemical solvents when the partial pressure of CO2 in the flue gas is high. The CO2 rich solvent is usually regenerated by reducing the pressure without adding heat. The current wo...

Abstract Pore characterization in shales is challenging owing to the wide range of pore sizes and types present. Haynesville-Bossier shale (USA) was sampled as a typical clay-bearing siliceous, organic-rich, gas-mature shale and characterized over pore diameters ranging...

Demand side management has been recognized as one of the potentially significant flexibility resources whose deployment will be necessary for the operation of future power transmission, and probably more so, distribution networks. With this in mind the greater observabi...
