One way to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere for the mitigation of climate change is to capture the CO2 and inject it into geological formations. The most important public concern about carbon capture and storage (CCS) is whether stored CO2 will leak into groundwater sources and finally into the atmosphere. To prevent the leakage, the possible leakage paths and the mechanisms triggering the paths must be examined and identified. It is known that the leakage paths can be due to CO2 - rock interaction and CO2 – well interaction. The objective of this research is to identify the geochemical reactions of the dissolved CO2 in the synthetic formation water with the rock minerals of the Sayındere cap rock by laboratory experiments. It is also aimed to model and simulate the experiments using ToughReact software. Sayındere formation is the cap rock of the Caylarbasi, a southeastern petroleum field in Turkey. The mineralogical investigation and fluid chemistry analysis of the experiments show that calcite was dissolved from the cap rock core as a result of CO2- water- rock interaction. Using the reactive transport code TOUGHREACT, the modeling of the dynamic experiment is performed. Calcite, the main primary mineral in the Sayındere is dissolved first and then re-precipitated during the simulation process. The decreases of 0.01 % in the porosity and 0.03% in permeability of the packed core of the Sayındere cap rock are observed in the simulation. The simulation was continued for 25 years without CO2 injection. However, the results of this simulation show that the porosity and permeability are increased by 0.001 % and 0.004 %, respectively due to the CO2-water-rock mineral interaction. This shows that the Sayındere cap rock integrity must be monitored in the field if application is planned.

Simulating CO2 sequestration in a depleted gas reservoir
Özkılıç, Öke İsmet; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2005)
Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases which have strong impacts on the environment and its amount in the atmosphere is far beyond to be ignored. Carbon dioxide levels are projected to be reduced by sequestering it directly to the underground. High amounts of carbon dioxide can be safely stored in underground media for very long time periods. Storage in depleted gas reservoirs provides an option for sequestering carbon dioxide. In 2002, production of Kuzey Marmara gas reservoir has been stopped due t...
Modelling of carbon sink capacity of the Black Sea
Cengiz, Yelis; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Earth System Science (2016)
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is constantly increasing due to human activities and results in global warming. Since Industrial Revolution 30 and 25 percentages of the anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide are taken up by the forests and by the oceans respectively. Carbon dioxide is rising faster than biosphere can tolerate and the rest of the carbon dioxide which can not be hold, continues to accumulate and causes further heating of the atmosphere. The carbon sink capacity of the ...
Recent advances in heterogeneous catalysts for the effective electroreduction of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide
Eren, Enis Oğuzhan; Özkar, Saim (2021-09-15)
The electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide into low carbon fuels is a very convenient way of reducing the concentration of atmospheric CO2, which is the main cause of global warming. CO is known to be the most common and profitable product of CO2 reduction due to its low energy requirement and reaction simplicity. However, the viability of the process still depends on affordable and efficient catalysts. In this review, an overview is provided on recent advances in developing highly efficient heterogen...
Sustainability Assessments of Urban Railway Systems: Case Study Evaluations in Turkey
YÜKSEL, MÜGE; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Springer, 2019-01-01)
There are ongoing efforts to control global warming via reducing CO2 emissions, which are mostly based on human activities. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) carbon footprint (CFP) calculations provide a clear picture of embodied carbon (EC). In this study, the significance of EC estimation and reduction for railway projects are explored. The main motivation is having applicable sustainability strategies for railway systems in Turkey. Since there is no certification system, range or database, these effort...
