HSE & Sustainability
This paper identifies opportunities and risks associated with repurposing an offshore oil and gas platform for green hydrogen production. Various technical scenarios were investigated for the case study platform, and their profitability was determined using economic calculations. In addition, all the submodels were compared with standard decommissioning costs for reco…
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.
