Abstract CO2 capture & storage is foreseen as a necessity to limit global warming, as indicated by the recent reports from International Energy Agency. Major initiatives have to be initiated in a near future with concrete actions to get efficient results in limiting global warming. Based on its decades of experience in gas sweetening AXENS has developed an expertise in CO2 removal technologies. While conventional amine based processes can be used for some CO2 capture applications like for instance the treatment of process gas streams under pressure, other applications for low pressure gas streams like flue gases will require innovative advanced solutions. AXENS has studied various options for the removal of CO2 in SMR based hydrogen schemes, including the treatment of the process gas or the treatment of the flue gases from the SMR furnace, evaluating the respective merits of those options. For the treatment of the flue gases a new technology developed by IFPEN and AXENS based on a second generation amine solvent is considered : DMX™ DMX™ process, is foreseen as a key contributor for the removal of CO2 from all kind of low pressure gas streams. This process allows drastic reduction of CO2 capture cost in comparison to more conventional solvent such as MEA and others available solvents. The specific features of this solvent allows significant reduction of the heat requirements for the regeneration of the solvent. It also allows regenerating the solvent directly under pressure up to 6 bara, reducing the costs for downstream CO2 compression Preliminary techno-economic studies show significant advantage of DMX™ technology relatively to MEA : up to 30 % reduction in OPEX can be obtained for lower or similar CAPEX, depending on the condition. This process has been developed at the lab scale and is now going to be demonstrated in an industrial pilot unit installed in ArcelorMittal's steel mill plant in Dunkirk (France). This demonstration benefits from the support of EU's H2020 programme, under 3D project.

The World Bank and other international public financial institutions are continuing an eighteen year trend of supporting coal-fired power plant construction throughout the developing world and economies in transition. By financing this new carbonintensive infrastructure, multilateral development banks (MDBs) and export credit agencies (ECAs) are hamstringing the fight against global warming and setting back longer term efforts to alleviate poverty in the world's poorest countries. From 1994 through early 2009, the World Bank, other MDBs and ECAs financed new construction or expansion of 88 coal-fired power plants. These plants will generate roughly 791 million tons of CO2 emissions per year, or more than 75% of the 2008 annual emissions for coal-fired power in the entire European Union. According to the International Energy Agency, without a decisive reorientation of energy investment from carbon-intensive sources in developing and emerging economies, atmospheric CO2 will overshoot the point of no return for dangerous global warming, even if the OECD countries were to reduce their CO2 emissions to zero by 2030. Scarce public international financial resources in the energy sector should go to renewable technologies and energy efficiency, which will help countries grow and alleviate poverty while reducing the impacts of global warming on the poor.

Abstract In policy domains characterised by complexity, international organizations (IOs) with overlapping mandates and governance functions regularly interact in ways that have important implications for global governance. Yet the dynamics of IO interactions remain understudied. This article breaks new ground by building on the theoretical insights of organizational ecology to examine IO competition, cooperation, and adaptation in the domain of energy. Drawing on original empirical data, I consider three related hypotheses: (1) competition between IOs in the same population is likely to centre on material resources; (2) IOs are more likely to cooperate when they have a shared governance goal; and (3) individual IOs can adapt by changing their goals and boundaries. In considering these hypotheses, this article highlights the limits of the organizational ecology approach and the need to broaden it to account for the possibility that IOs do cooperate, and that individual IOs, such as the International Energy Agency, have the capacity to adapt to changes in their environment.

Energy Balance Analysis

The rising of atmospheric CO2 concentration is the major source to global warming system. Many methods have been proposed to mitigate global warming, such as carbon penalty, carbon trading, CO2 sequestration, etc. However these proposed methods are usually uneconomical, i.e., these methods do not produce economic valuable substances. This paper will propose a method to absorb atmospheric CO2 to produce economic valuable substances such as methanol, dimethyl ether, ethylene, several hydrocarbon substances and derivatives and several graphite substances. This paper is focused on methanol production using atmospheric CO2 capture. The overall process is endothermic. Thus a sufficient energy source is needed. To avoid more CO2 emission, the energy source must not use conventional fuels. To assure the continuity of energy deliberation, nuclear energy will be used as the energy source of the process. In this paper, the Passive Compact Molten Salt Reactor (PCMSR) will be used as the energy source. The 460 MWth PCMSR is coupled with atmospheric CO2 capture, desalination, hydrogen production and methanol production facilities. The capturing CO2 capacity is 7.2 ton/h of atmospheric CO2. The valuable outputs of this system are 3.34 ton/h of H2, 34.56 ton/h of O2, 5.24 ton/h of methanol and 86.74 MWe of excess electricity.
