Major and trace element data for partial melts derived from high pressure-temperature experiments on a basaltic starting composition from the Ontong Java Oceanic Plateau.

We aim to de-risk the development of the major potential CO2 storage reservoirs in the UK sector of the Northern and Central North Sea by developing our understanding of the geometry and properties of the overburden above the potential reservoirs (including their seals), and by developing an understanding of the likely hydraulic connectivity in the reservoirs, surrounding strata and overburden and hence the likely flow paths for CO2 and formation brine within and between them. These reservoirs are some of the most widespread and internally hydraulically well-connected reservoirs on the UK Continental Shelf and appear to have excellent potential for high injectivity, large capacity without excessive pressure rise and, in some cases, good containment. Consequently, they promise to be of great significance if CCS becomes a major greenhouse gas mitigation technology in the UK. Grant number: UKCCSRC-C1-30.

This dataset contains semi-structure qualitative interview transcripts (n=30) with women in Greater Manchester, about how they conceptualize air pollution and envision a city with clean air. This data has been fully anonymized by the author. The data collection took place between 2018 and 2019. Interviews were designed to last approximately 1h. The questioning route received full ethical approval from Manchester Metropolitan University Academic Ethics Committee. Participants were recruited following a purposive sampling technique, assuring that the people being interviewed are relevant to the research question and that different segments of the population are interviewed. This was complemented with a snowball sampling technique to expand the sample size of relevant interviewees. Before the interviews started, the background of the researcher, the project, as well as the structure of the interviews were explained to the participants, and verbal consent was asked to proceed with the interview, to record, and to use the data in the form of papers or conference presentations, as well as to make the data publicly available. The interviews were composed of two sections. The first part gathered data in relation to socio-demographic factors to make sure that women with different backgrounds were represented (i.e. age, ethnicity, nationality, number of children, occupation, co-habitation, responsibility for unpaid work, carbon footprint, and main form of transport). The second part contained questions about the present of air pollution and about the future of Greater Manchester and cleaner air. The questions were: (1) How do you feel when you hear the term air pollution? (2) How would you describe air pollution in your own words? (3) Which of your daily activities contribute to air pollution the most? (4) Is air pollution a concern for you? (5) Do you think Greater Manchester is polluted, and do you recognize any places as being more polluted than others? (6) When you decide on a form of transport, what do you value most? (7) How do you feel when you hear a city with clean air? (8) How would you describe a city with clean air? (9) If you could change anything in Greater Manchester, so that it becomes a city with clean air, what would you change? Sample description: 30 women in Greater Manchester. Age: < 40 (14 participants), 40-60 (11 participants), > 60 (5 participants). Nationality: British (23 participants), Other nationalities (7 participants). Ethnicity: White (25 participants) Other ethnic groups (5 participants). Occupation: Policy-maker (3 participants), Teacher (4 participants), University lecturer or researcher (6 participants), Student (2 participants), Environmental manager (2 participants), Business professional (3 participants), Architect (1 participants), Service and sales worker (3 participants), Retired (6 participants).

Airborne atmospheric measurements from core and non-core instrument suites data on board the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft during flight 3 for International Transport of Ozone and Precursors (ITOP) project.

The data is collected in North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) on a 1-inch bore, gas-liquid two-phase, high pressure (up to 72bar), ambient temperature CO2 flow test rig from 19th May to 3rd June 2016. Single phase gas and liquid information are provided by Coriolis meter and mixed together. Then a vertical Coriolis meter is used to measure the two-phase mixture together with a DP transmitter measuring differential pressure across the vertical Coriolis meter under test. UKCCSRC Call 2 project: CO2 Flow Metering through Multi-Modal Sensing and Statistical Data Fusion. Grant number: UKCCSRC-C2-218. Published papers: 1) Mass flow measurement of two-phase carbon dioxide using Coriolis flowmeters (https://doi.org/10.1109/I2MTC.2017.7969891). 2) Mass flow measurement of gas-liquid two-phase CO2 in CCS transportation pipelines using Coriolis flowmeters (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2017.11.021).

Fiscal metering could face several challenges during CO2 transport by pipelines due to the unusual physical properties of CO2 and CO2 mixtures. Coriolis flowmeters are an options to measure CO2 accurately in transport pipelines. However, the presence of impurities can affect the performance of the flowmeter. Therefore, the performance of a Coriolis flowmeter was evaluated using CO2 fluid with impurities in a mass flow-rig designed based on the gravimetric calibration in start / stop operations. In each test, the mass recorded by the Coriolis flowmeter was compared to the mass collected in the receiving facilities and measured using high accurate balance in order to obtain the relative deviation of the test. During the tests, in addition to the mass and volume flow rate, the operational pressure and temperature as well as velocity and density were recorded. The series of tests were conducted using different fluids, including: pure N2 (validation tests), pure CO2 (reference tests), pre-combustion mixture, post-combustion mixture, Oxyfuel-I mixture and Oxyfuel-II mixture. The recorded data as well as recorded and measured masses are available in the provided excel files for each investigated fluid. Grant number: UKCCSRC-C2-201

Laboratory experimental data on time-dependent rock deformation by the mechanism of brittle creep. The data was obtained from laboratory triaxial deformation experiments. The full dataset also includes a compilation of data on this topic from other laboratories that has previously been published in the open literature.

The dynamic characteristics of CO2 bubbles in Scottish seawater are investigated through observational data obtained from the QICS project. Images of the leaked CO2 bubble plume rising in the seawater were captured. This observation made it possible to discuss the dynamics of the CO2 bubbles in plumes leaked in seawater from the sediments. Utilising ImageJ, an image processing program, the underwater recorded videos were analysed to measure the size and velocity of the CO2 bubbles individually. It was found that most of the bubbles deform to non-spherical bubbles and the measured equivalent diameters of the CO2 bubbles observed near the sea bed are to be between 2 and 12 mm. The data processed from the videos showed that the velocities of 75% of the leaked CO2 bubbles in the plume are in the interval 25-40 cm/s with Reynolds numbers (Re) 500-3500, which are relatively higher than those of an individual bubble in quiescent water. The drag coefficient Cd is compared with numerous laboratory investigations, where agreement was found between the laboratory and the QICS experimental results with variations mainly due to the plume induced vertical velocity component of the seawater current and the interactions between the CO2 bubbles (breakup and coalescence). The breakup of the CO2 bubbles has been characterised and defined by E&ouml;tv&ouml;s number, Eo, and Re. This is a publication in QICS Special Issue - International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, Nazmi Sellami et. al. Doi:10.1016/j.ijggc.2015.02.011.
