Reducing the anthropogenic impact on the environment as part of the transition to environmentally friendly energy sources: a review of current research on hydrogen synthesis and carbon dioxide utilization

Abstract

The problem of carbon dioxide utilization is of increasing concern to the public, since measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are no longer sufficient to prevent a global increase in temperature on the planet. The global energy sector is facing two major challenges: skyrocketing prices for petroleum products and an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by industry. The growing anthropogenic pressure on the environment has increased interest in the geological storage of carbon dioxide. Developments in the field of alternative energy sources are becoming more and more relevant: hydrogenation and synthesis, solar energy, hydrogen energy. Promising trend, from the point of view of utilization, is associated with the production and use of environmentally friendly energy carriers through the conversion of carbon dioxide. The article discusses modern technologies for producing hydrogen and industrial conversion of carbon dioxide into useful products, including the author's nature-like method for converting carbon dioxide into green energy resources. Keywords: carbon dioxide utilization; underground storage; hydrogenation and synthesis; hydrocarbons; hydrogen; alternative energy sources; catalysts.

Waterflooding, water-gas method and generation of carbon dioxide in the reservoir – methods of enhanced oil recovery and technology development

“…Of course, such a wide and successful application of the waterflooding technology is due to its own manufacturability during implementation, as well as the low cost and availability of large volumes of the agent injected into the reservoir -water. Along with high efficiency, non-stationary waterflooding technology creates serious problems in the development and operation of oil fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The problems are of both natural and technogenic origin, leading to premature breakthrough of injected or IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1212/1/012038 2 formation water to production wells with subsequent watering of their production, which in turn provokes the formation of stagnant and poorly drained zones.…”
