Techno-economic analysis of the production of pure CO2 from flue gases via the monoethanolamine and ammonia capture processes
DownloadFall 2018
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fuel combustion have contributed to the overall greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Carbon capture is a promising technique that could reduce the emission from power plants with the ever-increasing energy demand. Research into the utilization of CO2 from flue...

Spring 2018
Energy storage systems (ESSs) play a key role in the implementation of sustainable energy. However, the life cycle cost, energy use, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are important decision factors for their implementation, has received limited attention. For this reason, the economic and...

Techno-economic and Life Cycle Assessments of Oil Sands Products and Liquefied Natural Gas Supply Chains from Canada to Asia-Pacific and Europe
DownloadFall 2017
The diversification of Canadian oil sands and natural gas markets is imperative for their long-term economic growth. In order to ensure a competitive spot in the natural gas and oil global market, it is considerably important for Canada to supply its natural gas and oil at a competitive price...

Techno-economic assessment of solvent-based bitumen extraction technologies including in-situ electromagnetic heating
DownloadFall 2021
The oil sands are a vast fossil fuel resource that supports the worldwide energy supply. The bitumen found in fossil deposits is too viscous to flow under reservoir conditions. For this reason, steam-based processes such as steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) are used to increase the reservoir...

Techno-economic Assessment of Utilization of Food Processing Waste for Production of Energy and Chemicals
DownloadSpring 2017
Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced by the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. We estimated...
