Jeffrey Bielicki

Jeff Bielicki's 50th peer-reviewed publication of his career, he was a part of an investigation into the net effects on CO2 emissions of using CO2 from various sources (e.g., natural gas power plants) to produce geothermal heat while isolating that CO2 from the atmosphere.

Jeff Bielicki establishes a computational approach for environmental lifecycle assessment that considers processes, economic flows, and multiple regions

This article from Jeff Bielicki establishes a strategy that uses carbon dioxide to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as part of a portfolio of approaches to mitigate climate change.

In this study, Jeff Bielicki and colleagues develop and implement analytical solutions for calculating reservoir impedance, reservoir heat depletion, and wellbore heat loss in sedimentary reservoirs that are laterally extensive, homogeneous, horizontally isotropic and have uniform thickness.

Jeff Bielicki and colleagues investigate the CO2 emission and energy penalty due to the deployment of dry cooling—a critical water mitigation strategy—together with alternative water sourcing and carbon capture and storage under climate scenarios.

Jeff Bielicki investigates tradeoffs in water consumption and availability with carbon dioxide emissions for power plants worldwide.

This study examines the potential of utilizing geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) storage and CO2 as a working fluid for geothermal energy production to achieve ambitious greenhouse gas mitigation targets and provide load following flexibility for integrating variable renewable energy sources.

This article summarizes laboratory-scale experimental results of a trap-extract-precipitate (TEP) process and uses the mass and energy balances to estimate the economic costs and environmental impacts of the TEP. 

Associate Professor Jeff Bielicki presents the results of a collaborative thought exercise involving 75 scientists and summarizes them into 10 key recommendations covering: the most critical nexus issues of today, emerging themes, and where future efforts should be directed. 

Associate Professor Bielicki's study reveals that a Flexible CO2 Plume Geothermal (CPG-F) facility, capable of providing both dispatchable power and energy storage, can deliver 190% more power than a conventional CPG power plant for 8 hours while costing 70% more in capital, making it an efficient baseload power and dispatchable storage option.
