This study presents the development of a biodegradable surfactant developed using principles of environmentally friendly chemistry from natural sources. The goal is to develop an effective and environmentally friendly surfactant that can emulsify and disperse oil to reduce its effects on marine environments.
This study ascertains the capital expenditure and operating expenditure associated with the reuse of existing facilities, specifically regarding a carbon capture and storage project being prepared in South Korea.
GeoMap Europe is the latest in a series of interactive global geothermal maps that combine large subsurface and surface data sets to highlight where geothermal resources and development opportunities are strongest for power, heat, cooling, and storage.
