Although there are some carbon capture and storage (CCS-CO2 sequestration) projects in all over the world, feasibility problems exist due to the high economical issues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a potential CCS project where the source of CO2 is Afşin Elbistan Thermal Power Plant. Selection of candidate sites in the vicinity of Diyarbakır, Batman and Adıyaman regions depends on sequestration criteria. According to sequestration criteria, CCS can be applied to Çaylarbaşı mature oil field, Midyat saline aquifer and Dodan CO2 gas field. Disposing of CO2 from the source of Afşin Elbistan Thermal Power Plant is analyzed by pipeline and tanker. CO2 capturing technologies are determined from published literature. CO2 transportation can be applied by pipeline or tanker. CO2 transportation cost by pipeline and tanker are compared. It has been calculated that, transportation by pipeline is more economical compared to tanker transportation. It is further found that the number of boosting pump stations, the length of the pipeline and CO2 mass flow rate are the issues that alter the economical aspect in the pipeline transportation. The transportation costs by tankers depend on fuel cost, distance, tanker storage capacity, pin-up cost and CO2 storage facilities. The final part of CCS project is injection and storage of CO2 to the candidate areas. Reservoir parameters which are reservoir temperature, viscosity, permeability, reservoir pressure, reservoir thickness, CO2 density mass flow rate and injection pipe diameter determine the number and cost of the injection wells.

Simulating oil recovery during CO2 sequestration into a mature oil reservoir
Pamukçu, Yusuf Ziya; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006)
The continuous rising of anthropogenic emission into the atmosphere as a consequence of industrial growth is becoming uncontrollable, which causes heating up the atmosphere and changes in global climate. Therefore, CO2 emission becomes a big problem and key issue in environmental concerns. There are several options discussed for reducing the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. CO2 sequestration is one of these options, which involves the capture of CO2 from hydrocarbon emission sources, e.g. power pl...
Electricity market modeling using stochastic and robust optimization
Yıldırım, Miray Hanım; Wilhelm Weber, Gerhard; Türker Bayrak, Özlem; Department of Scientific Computing (2015)
Sustainable development relying on sustainable and renewable energy systems is becoming one of the major policies of many countries. This forces the policy makers to establish many reforms and revolutions, which evolve electricity markets into a more competitive form. The competitive environment results in surging electricity demand and supply that brings in a critical challenge: uncertainty. In this thesis, the uncertainties with respect to prices and demand in the market are explored by using stochastic p...
Helicopter turboshaft engine ground performance with alternative fuels
Başlamişli, Ufuk; Akmandor, İbrahim Sinan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In recent years, extensive studies on alternative fuels have been conducted to find environmentally friendly, economically feasible fuels due to finite petroleum sources, environmental and economical reasons. In this thesis, effects of alternative fuels on engine performance and exhaust emission are studied experimentally. Cold and reacting tests have been performed. Volumetric flow rate, discharge pressure are measured according to different pump speed. Droplet diameters, droplet distribution, spray cone a...
Hydrogen storage capacity of nanosystems: molecular dynamics simulations
Koyuncular Onay, Aytun; Erkoç, Şakir; Department of Physics (2008)
In recent decades, tremendous efforts have been made to obtain high hydrogen storage capacity in a stable configuration. In the literature there are plenty of experimental works investigating different materials for hydrogen storage and their storage values. In the first part of this thesis the available literature data have been collected and tabulated. In addition to the literature survey the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotubes doped with boron nitride (CBN nanotubes) with d...
Critical evaluation of the energy resources of Turkey with respect to the world prospects
Aydemir, Mehmet Olcay; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010)
Existing petroleum and natural gas reserves, which are the major supplies of primary energy demand of the world, are cumulated in a few countries. This causes a serious supply security problem for many countries. On the other side, greenhouse gas emissions caused by mainly fossil fuels are gradually increasing to a point which jeopardizes the future of the earth. By now, countries have to consider both their supply security and this global environmental problem while planning their energy future. For Turkey...
