Despite increased commitments toward net zero, there will likely be a continued need for natural gas to provide low carbon dispatchable power and blue hydrogen to balance the increased penetration of renewables. We evaluate the CO emissions intensity of electricity produced by (i) natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS), and (ii) blue hydrogen CCGT plants which uses steam methane reforming with CCS to supply H. This study aims to determine whether these assets are able to meet a possible green taxonomy emissions threshold of 100 kg CO eq/MWh.

The Kori-1 nuclear power plant has been permanently shut down since 2017, and its major structures, systems, and components are currently planned to be dismantled according to the final decommissioning plan. To protect dismantling workers from external radiation exposure dose during decommissioning, we propose a dose reduction method involving dual-layered Pb-free shielding. Based on the Monte Carlo method, the performance of the abovementioned method and various types of materials are optimized and estimated in terms of the equivalent dose rate and radiation shielding rate.

The improvement of heavy oil recovery by steam injection or electric heating has been investigated extensively. However, the potential benefit of placing a permanent heating element around the pay zone has not received significant attention. Previously, numerical models were mainly used to investigate improvements in reservoir fluid mobility but rarely when considering the impact of downhole heating on a wellbore's vertical lift performance.
