2.1. Underground CO₂ geo-storage. In the typical CO 2 geo-storage process, CO₂ emissions from fixed sources such as power plants are captured and converted into a liquid form and then injected deep within a closed geological formation, such as a saline aquifer, a depleted oil or gas field, or an inaccessible coal bed (Cheng et al., 2023a; Nicol et al.,

Coal is the biggest single source of energy for electricity production and its share is growing. The efficiency of converting coal into electricity matters: more efficient power

Abstract. Both carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be stored in coal seams as two enabling components of energy transition from fossil-based systems to renewable sources. In both cases, understanding the evolution of coal permeability under the influence of gas adsorption is extremely important. The gas sorption-induced deformation is

The thermal power plant is essential to maintaining the supply of electricity because it can adapt quickly to changes in demand. A thermal power plant, also known as a thermal power station, is used to transform heat energy into electric power for domestic and industrial applications. Electric power is generated by steam-powered turbines, which

To explore the law of energy evolution of coal, a one‐time loading and unloading test under uniaxial compression was conducted on coal taken from four

Hereby, c p is the specific heat capacity of the molten salt, T high denotes the maximum salt temperature during charging (heat absorption) and T low the temperature after discharging (heat release). The following three subsections describe the state-of-the-art technology and current research of the molten salt technology on a material, component

It has been estimated that 3000 MWt of heat energy is available in the waters of flooded coalfields of Europe [8] Germany, about 160 mines in the Ruhr area exploited more than 150 million tons of coal, but the last two mines in Bottrop (Prosper Haniel mine) and Ibbenbüren closed in 2018 [9].The deepest coal pits in Germany reach

This work demonstrates the great potential of coal-based carbon materials for electrochemical energy storage devices and also provides a new way for the high value-added utilization of coal

2. Smart microgrid system for abandoned mines. The abandoned mine smart microgrid system is presented, which has the functions of peak shaving and valley filling, frequency regulation, and voltage regulation, based on the resource conditions of abandoned mines and the technical principle of new gravity energy storage. 2.1.

There is an urgent need to address the ever-growing concerns about the long-term impacts of coal mining as a cheap energy source in the 21st century because the consequence of inaction threatens

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually

According to the distribution characteristics of abutment pressures in a stope, the energy distribution can be divided into an energy dissipation and release zone, an increasing-energy zone, and a stable energy storage zone. During coal mining, abutment pressure in front of the coal wall is an important factor causing energy

A coal-fired power station or coal power plant is a thermal power station which burns coal to generate electricity. Worldwide there are over 2,400 coal-fired power stations, totaling over 2,130 gigawatts capacity.
