The end goal of implementing a CE is not to be circular per se, but rather to improve global environmental and social conditions."Circularity" is often used as a simplifying term to encompass actions that serve to that end, as one approach to promote sustainability within a product life cycle [14].However, implementing a CE does not necessarily mean an operation is …
In this study, we extend existing research by investigating large-scale sedimentary basin stored-CO 2 geothermal power generation via physics-based modeling and simulation of injection of large volumes of CO 2 into deep sedimentary basins for storage and priming the reservoirs for optimal production of heated CO 2 for power generation at the surface.
Solar energy generation is a type of RES that takes advantage of the solar irradiation to provide electricity via photovoltaic (PV) or concentrating solar power (CSP) systems [1,5].
