A multi-scale framework for CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration: CCUS and CCU

Computers and Chemical Engineering 2015

C.A. Floudas E. First F. Boukouvala M.M.F. Hasan

We present a multi-scale framework for the optimal design of CO2 capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) supply chain network to minimize the cost while reducing stationary CO2 emissions in the United States. We also design a novel CO2 capture and…

Nationwide, Regional, and Statewide CO2 Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration Supply Chain Network Optimization

Industrial Engineering & Chemistry Research 2014

M.M.F. Hasan E. First F. Boukouvala C.A. Floudas

We design a CO2 Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS) supply chain network with minimum cost to reduce stationary CO2 emissions and their adverse environmental impacts in the United States. While doing so, we consider simultaneous selection of source plants, capture…
