Commenting recently on the profound global impact of the veritable explosion in computer power, big data, and computer
systems in organisations, Helbring (2014) contended that top - down governance could no longer work and that control had to be with the operational unit, arguing that: `... complexity theory [tells] us that it is actually
feasible to create resilient social and
economic order by means of self - organisation, self - regulation, and self - governance.»
The research needs that have high priority in establishing the technical, environmental, and
economic feasibility of large - scale capture and disposal of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- from electric power plants are: (1) survey and assess the capacity, cost, and location of potential depleted gas and oil wells that are suitable CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- repositories (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (2) conduct research on the feasibility of ocean disposal, with objectives of determining the cost, residence time, and environmental effects for different methods of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- injection; (3) perform an in - depth survey of knowledge concerning the feasibility of using deep, confined aquifers for disposal and, if
feasible, identify potential disposal locations (with the cooperation of the oil and gas industry); (4) evaluate, on a common basis, more»
system and design alternatives for integration of CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- capture
systems with emerging and advanced technologies for power generation; and prepare a conceptual design, an analysis of barrier issues, and a preliminary cost estimate for pipeline networks necessary to transport a significant portion of the CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- to potentially
feasible disposal locations.
