No ETRI 2025, realizado na Universidade de São Paulo, Beatriz Rodrigues, mestre em Engenharia Mecânica pela UFPB, apresentou o trabalho intitulado “CCS hub-and-clusters modeling in the Brazilian context: geospatial data analytics for prospective transport and storage services“. O trabalho integra as pesquisas do TRIL Lab em modelagem geoespacial e planejamento de infraestrutura para sistemas de Captura e Armazenamento de Carbono (CCS) no Brasil. Beatriz destacou a importância crescente do CCS para setores industriais de difícil descarbonização e o papel dos modelos hub-and-clusters, que permitem reduzir
Avaliação Tecnoeconômica de Sistemas de Compressão de CO₂: Apresentação do mestrando Diogo Matos no ETRI 2025
Durante o ETRI 2025, realizado na Universidade de São Paulo, Diogo Matos, mestrando em Engenharia Mecânica pela Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), apresentou o estudo intitulado “Techno-economic assessment of customizable and ready-to-deploy CO2 compression units for industrial CCU systems” desenvolvido no TRIL Lab sobre a avaliação tecnoeconômica de unidades de compressão de CO₂ aplicadas a sistemas industriais de captura e utilização (CCU). O trabalho integra uma linha de pesquisa dedicada a desenvolver soluções acessíveis, modulares e adaptáveis para apoiar a descarbonização de setores industriais hard-to-abate.
Master’s student Beatriz Rodrigues presents research on CCUS hub modeling at the 12th PDPETRO
Held from October 30 to November 1, 2024, in Balneário Camboriú, SC, the 12th Brazilian Congress on R&D in Oil, Gas, and Biofuels – PDPETRO brought together specialists to foster discussions on the challenges of developing human resources in the new oil and energy transition landscape, as well as topics related to the integration between academia and industry in Brazil. Beatriz Rodrigues, a master’s student under Prof. Gustavo Oliveira in the Graduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at UFPB, presented her work, Opportunity Metrics for Repurposing
CO2SS research on site qualification making international impact
In an article published this week in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, one of the most relevant journals on the topic of “decarbonization” and rated at the highest level by the Qualis CAPES system, José Wilker Lima, a PhD student under Prof. Gustavo Oliveira, introduced, for the first time, a family of generalized mathematical models for qualifying CO2 storage sites. The methodology creates a series of indicators based on the fundamental properties of reservoirs and weighting functions that take into account the distance
CO2SS research presented at the XXVII International Congress of Mechanical Engineering in Florianópolis, Brazil
The XXVII International Congress of Mechanical Engineering – COBEM took place from December 4th to 8th, 2023, in Florianópolis city, Brazil. Members of the co2ss project presented research focusing on qualifying sites for CO2 storage and experiments related to dissolution patterns in interfaces exhibiting behaviors akin to CO2/brine. Two specific papers were showcased: “Distance-to-Trap Weighting Functions for Selection and Ranking of CO2 Storage Sites,” presented by Prof. Gustavo Oliveira from the Northeast team, and “Convective Patterns in Hele-Shaw Flows Driven by Density Gradients and Chemical
On the CCUS technology path and looking for knowledge in Germany
The CO2SS Project sent the researcher Nataly Albuquerque for the Carbon Capture Technology Expo in order to learn more about are the updates in Europe as for technologies for carbon capture, utilization and storage. The fair, held in Bremen, Germany, between September 27th and 28th this year is a pool of opportunities alongside the Hydrogen Technology Expo, focused on the main advances for hydrogen usage.
CO2SS project attends to Norwegian symposium
Prof. Gustavo Oliveira presented the poster “Generalized functionals for qualification of geological carbon storage sites” in a session at the MRST Symposium 2023, organized remotely by the Norwegian institute SINTEF from September 26th to 27th. The poster summarizes part of Wilker Lima’s doctoral research and presents one of the first CO2SS results. For more information, click here.
