This work is the first part of a global study about the CO2 mass balance in a tobacco industry, including the CO2 sequestration in the tobacco plants,CO2 sequestration in an eucalyptus forest, solar irradiation, and the approach methodology to obtain the CO2 emission of the process in the industry. The aim of this work is to identify the variations in the CO2 sequestration through the growing of tobacco plants in Chile and consequently in many parts of the world. It is necessary to correlate the on-site measured values through the tobacco plants growing with solar radiation, estimating the monthly absorbed CO2 mass from the environment. With this correlation, it is possible to obtain a CO2 balance in the industry knowing the total annual amount of emitted CO2 and to compare it with the absorbed amount by the plant. It has obtained a methodology that can be used as a guide for future researchers of carbon balances.

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...
Simulating the effects of deep saline aquifer properties for CO2 sequestration Basbug, B.; Gumrah, F.; Oz, B. (2007-10-01) CO2 is one of the hazardous greenhouse gases causing significant changes to the environment. The sequestering of CO2 in a suitable geological media can be a feasible method to avoid the negative effects of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. A numerical model was developed regarding CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer. A compositional numerical model using CMG software (GEM) was employed to study the ability of the selected aquifer to accept and retain large quantities of CO2 injected in a supercritic...
Cap rock integrity in CO₂ storage Dalkhaa, Chantsalmaa; Okandan, Ender; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) 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 interactio...
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...
