CO2 absorption performance of biogas slurry enhanced by biochar as a potential solvent in once-through CO2 chemical absorption process by Yizhong Duan, Yang Liu, Haonan Liu, Zhan Shi, Xinran Shen, Xiantong Sun, Shixin Zhao, Shuiping Yan, Feihong Liang

“…Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), offers a promising avenue for mitigating CO2 emissions, in which the big challenge is the high CO2 capture cost. A novel CCUS technology called once-through CO2 chemical absorption using biogas slurry, could potentially reduce the CO2 capture cost through decreasing the energy consumption greatly during CO2 capture. …”

Developing a dynamic energy budget model to project potential effects of deep-sea mining plumes on the Atlantic deep-sea mussel, Bathymodiolus azoricus by Irene Martins, Alexandra Guerra, Cândida Gomes Vale, Cândido Xavier, Inês Martins, Marlene Pinheiro, Teresa Neuparth, Joana R. Xavier, Pedro Duarte, Miguel M. Santos, Ana Colaço

“…Model calibration was based on environmental conditions observed at the Menez Gwen (MG) vent field (Mid-Atlantic Ridge- MAR), assuming a B. azoricus lifespan of 10 years and a maximum shell length of 119 mm. Scenario simulations were conducted to mimic the effects of increased concentrations of toxic sediment plumes on mussel filtration rates, the absorption of reduced substrates by their endosymbionts, and the energetic costs associated with metal toxicity. …”
