摘要： Methods and systems for producing hydrogen substantially without greenhouse gas emissions, one method including producing a product gas comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon fuel source; separating hydrogen from the product gas to create a hydrogen product stream and a byproduct stream; injecting the byproduct stream into a reservoir containing mafic rock; and allowing components of the byproduct stream to react in situ with components of the mafic rock to precipitate and store components of the byproduct stream in the reservoir.

摘要： Environment-friendly reinforced foam for underground hydrogen storage and a preparation method thereof. The reinforced foam includes hydrogen and a liquid phase, where the liquid phase is an aqueous solution of a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer, a pH regulator and a particle cosolvent; and the foam stabilizer is a compounded system composed of 0-dimensional nanomaterial and 1-dimensional nanomaterial at a mass ratio of 2-5:1. In the reinforced foam of the present disclosure, the 0-dimensional and the 1-dimensional nanomaterials are compounded to form a nano-armor layer, which improves the stability of foam and the interfacial viscoelasticity of a liquid film by synergistic reinforcement, and inhibits the viscous fingering, escape and leakage of hydrogen in a reservoir, thereby not only being beneficial to improving the mobility of hydrogen, but also increasing the safety of hydrogen underground storage.

摘要： A method of operating a hydrostatically compensated compressed air energy storage system comprising to inhibit champagne effect conditions, can include charging the system; changing the system into a storage mode; and before a dissolved gas concentration in a layer of compensation liquid exceeds a champagne effect saturation threshold, operating the system in a dilution cycle mode that can include i) discharging at least a portion of the compressed air from the accumulator thereby drawing additional compensation liquid having a lower dissolved gas concentration than the liquid in the layer of compensation liquid into the accumulator, and ii) re-charging the system by conveying additional compressed air into the layer of compressed air in the accumulator thereby displacing a corresponding amount of compensation liquid from the layer of compensation liquid into a compensation liquid flow path and returning the system to the storage mode.

摘要： A pile underground fluid storage assembly is disclosed which allows the labor of installing two systems to be shared, therefore reducing installation costs. The assembly includes a foundation pile for structural support of the building structure along with storage tanks for storage of fluids at various temperatures as required for building operations, with the tanks being located within the interior space of the pile. The assembly further reduces maintenance and repair costs by making the underground tanks accessible. It also prevents underground storage tank floating issues when groundwater levels exceed storage tank fluid levels.

摘要： A method and system for storing and supplying hydrogen to a hydrogen pipeline in which a compressed hydrogen feed stream is introduced into a salt cavern for storage and a stored hydrogen stream is retrieved from the salt cavern and reintroduced into the hydrogen pipeline. A minimum quantity of stored hydrogen is maintained in the salt cavern to produce a stagnant layer having a carbon dioxide content along the cavern wall and the top of a residual brine layer located within the salt cavern. The compressed hydrogen feed stream is introduced into the salt cavern and the stored hydrogen stream is withdrawn without disturbing the stagnant layer to prevent carbon dioxide contamination from being drawn into the stored hydrogen stream being reintroduced into the hydrogen pipeline. This allows the stored hydrogen stream to be reintroduced into the hydrogen pipeline without carbon dioxide removal.

摘要： Underground storage caverns are used for the bulk storage of hydrocarbon liquids, such as crude oil and gases. The caverns are typically formed in salt formations by dissolving the salt and removing it with a flow of water. The cavern is accessed through a bore hole which has casing and internal tubing with an annulus between the casing and tubing. Some cavern bore holes may have casing, but no tubing. The cavern typically has hydrocarbon liquid above brine with an inert gas above the hydrocarbon liquid. In order to use the cavern, and periodically check it for physical integrity, it is necessary to test the cavern to determine if there is leakage from the cavern or the bore hole. The interface of the hydrocarbon liquid and overriding gas is moved downward by injecting gas into the annulus. Acoustic pulses are sent down the annulus through the gas to determine when the interface is located just below the end of the casing in the top of the cavern chimney (a reference level) by examining the return reflection pulse from the interface for a polarity inversion. When this is detected, a measured volume of gas is injected into the annulus. After a waiting period, the gas is released from the annulus and measured until the interface is detected by acoustic pulses to again be at the reference level. The volumes of injected gas and released gas are compared to determine if there has been leakage from the cavern. Alternative, the interface can be driven by gas pressure from the surface down to the casing bottom and back to the surface with gas volumes detecting leakage.

摘要： A process and method of collecting, storing and utilizing the water that enters urban storm drainage systems for the purpose of utilization and reuse. Step 1 is the existing urban storm water system in an urban area. Step 2 in this process and method that store the urban storm water also serve to provide initial levels of treatment. At Step 3 is where water is diverted based on commercial versus residential water needs. Step 4.a is where water enters commercial facilities and is treated according to each commercial consumer's needs. Step 4.b is where both treated commercial waste water and water from Step 2 can be stored in subsurface geology, where some water quality treatment will occur. At Step 4, commercial facilities may also extract water for reuse. Treatment for human consumption at Step 5 would be decided by relevant government laws and regulations. This process and method has been designed to collect, store and allow for the utilization of urban storm water for the purpose of keeping polluted urban storm water out of naturally occurring bodies of water, reduce or eliminate the extraction of water from natural sources, which helps restore and maintain a healthy ecosystem. Example calculations show that in Mumbai, India, the average yearly amount of water that enters the urban storm system is greater than the combined annual average of potable and industrial needs for the city of Mumbai. In other cities, average annual precipitation that enters the urban storm drainage system of many cities provides at least half of the combined annual average of potable and industrial water needs.
