Journal of Energy and Power Technology (JEPT) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. This periodical is dedicated to providing a unique, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary platform for researchers, scientists and engineers in academia, research institutions, government agencies and industry. The journal is also of interest to technology developers, planners, policy makers and technical, economic and policy advisers to present their research results and findings.

Journal of Energy and Power Technology focuses on all aspects of energy and power. It publishes not only original research and review articles, but also various other types of articles from experts in these fields, such as Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, and more, to promote intuitive understanding of the state-of-the-art and technology trends.

Scope

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced in order to prevent 2°C warming by 2100 and avoid substantial negative environmental and economic consequences. Converting CO2 into useful products and materials can improve the economic viability of carbon capture and storage (CCS), potentially creating a multi-billion dollar commodity market. This special issue will focus on experimental and numerical work related to carbon dioxide (CO2) Utilization. To date, the largest industry sector for CO2 utilization has been injection as part of enhanced oil recovery operations; however, utilization schemes with larger carbon storage timeframes are encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the conversion of CO2 to value-added chemicals and fuels; bioconversions; use in building materials (i.e., cements), and CO2 mineralization above and below Earth’s surface. Utilization analyses must include a “good faith” attempt at estimating the net carbon impact of each technique considered. In addition, we welcome studies which consider the economics of utilization pathways in addition to technical discussion.

Keywords

CO2 utilization; value-added chemicals; bioconversion; CO2 mineralization; reactor; carbon market; carbon credits

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.

TEA of a Unique Two-Pathways Process for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture

Received: 01 August 2022;  Published: 13 October 2022;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2204033

Abstract

A unique two-Pathways process using aqueous sodium glycinate for CO2 capture from a split flue gas stream emitted from 600 MWe post-combustion coal power plant was developed in Aspen Plus v.10. The split gas flow rate used was 44.75 ton/h and contained 0.0023 mol% SO2 and 13.33 mol% CO2 [...]

Converting CO2 from a Harmful Gas to a Renewable Source of Matter and Energy: A Review

Received: 05 November 2021;  Published: 19 January 2022;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2201005

Abstract

The emission of greenhouse gases, specifically CO2, has reached non-acceptable levels causing global warming with adverse effects. Owing to rigorous ongoing research, these harmful substances might be converted to beneficial sources. The main objective of [...]

Variation of CO2-Brine Contact Angles on Natural Rocks of Different Compositions

Received: 05 September 2021;  Published: 05 November 2021;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2104046

Abstract

Contact angles were measured for CO2-brine interactions on 20 different rocks that represent the properties of various CO2 storage depositional environments to characterize the wettability during geologic carbon storage. Three different CO2 phases (gaseous, liquid [...]
