Clarifying the evaluation methods and factors influencing shale brittleness is of great
practical significance for fracture mechanism analysis, rock mass stability evaluation …

In this paper, we review and analyze the salient features of the ongoing energy transition
from a high to a low carbon economy. Our analysis shows that this transition will require …

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been identified as an urgent, strategic and essential
approach to reduce anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, and mitigate the severe consequences …

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to fuels and chemicals is currently a focus of significant
research effort as a technology that can simultaneously mitigate greenhouse gas emissions …

Fracture pattern development has been a challenging area of research in the Earth sciences
for more than 100 years. Much has been learned about the spatial and temporal complexity …

Hemicellulose is an important component of plant cell walls, which is mainly used in biofuels
and bioproducts. The hemicellulose extracted from different plant sources and plant …

The development of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques has promoted the
exploitation of shale gas resources. However, using water has several potential drawbacks …

Shale gas, although unconventional, is a prospective clean energy source. Shale gas
production is a complex multi-scale process with its spatial size ranging from the nanoscale …

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2) fracturing is a promising technology for developing
shale gas because it can effectively solve problems related to shale swelling and lack of …
