Roussanaly, Simon; et al. (2020): Impact of Uncertainties on the Design and Cost of CCS From a Waste-to-Energy Plant

Roussanaly, Simon, Jabir A. Ouassou, Rahul Anantharaman, and Martin Haaf (2020): Impact of Uncertainties on the Design and Cost of CCS From a Waste-to-Energy Plant. Frontiers in Energy Research 8 (February). https://doi.org/10.3389/fenrg.2020.00017. "This paper investigates the optimal design of carbon capture and storage from a waste-to-energy plant under uncertainties. With the aim of providing a better understanding of the impact of uncertainties on the design and cost of CCS chains, as well as the capture technology selection, the case of a hypothetical 40 MW waste-to-energy plant located in Norway is considered."

The Symposium on the Web

To broaden the discussions during the symposium, we announced the conference on Twitter and Facebook as well starting this blog. We had no idea what the response would be like. We established the hashtag #CERSYM2015 and tweets started arriving before the people did.

Day 3 - Are we comparing apples with apples? And who likes "them apples"?

The third and final full day of the symposium again included two sessions of talks. The first, entitled "A Comparative View of Climate Engineering Options and Metrics," was aimed at taking a good look at the concepts and terms we use to evaluate and assess different types of CE technologies to establish if researchers from different fields, countries and disciplines are assessing the technologies in a comparable way.

Day 2 - Can we find out what we don't know about CE? And once we find out, who has the right and the means to make the big decisions?

The second day of the symposium included two separate sessions with seven presentations each. The first session of the day, entitled "Climate Engineering Uncertainties" aimed to help us understand exactly where the blind spots in our scientific and technical knowledge of CE lie, and to explore whether these uncertainties can be reduced.

Day 1 - Could we?

This week's symposium aims to deal with a wide spectrum of Climate Engineering related questions, but today's session focused on what is arguably one of the most fundamental of them all: Could we do it? Entitled "Scientific Feasibility of Climate Engineering Ideas," the first session of the week included talks by seven natural scientists and engineers who addressed the "Could we?" question from different perspectives.

Welcome to the Climate Engineering Research Symposium!

Next week from Tuesday the 7^th to Friday the 10^th of July the Climate Engineering Research Symposium will be held in Berlin. We look forward to accompanying you as you participate in this exiting international event, which will not only welcome over 130 participants from thirteen countries around the world, but will also be open to the public on Thursday 9^th to encourage what we hope will be inclusive and productive discussions.
