In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...
Biorefineries hold the potential to provide products and energy carriers at reduced environmental impact compared to their fossil-based counterparts. Thus, they can contribute to the decarbonization of sectors in which electrification of demands is challen ...
Aluminium is the second most widely used metal in the world, with a variety of applications ranging from transportation to food packaging and construction. While many aluminium producers target increased utilization of recycled aluminium to produce rolled ...

River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle remains limited, which makes it difficult to predict how global change may al ...
The energy-consumption by the chemical and petrochemical industry in the European Union (EU) accounts for about quarter of its energy footprint. Approximately half of this energy goes toward chemical separation, currently dominated by thermally-driven pro ...
The provision of decent housing for all is a core sustainable development goal (SDG) and a fundamental human right. However, the construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and 40% of global CO2 emissions are attributed to housing ...
The construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and emissions from housing and construction contribute to approximately 40% of all annual global carbon dioxide emissions. With cities racing to meet their climate targets, there is ...
The need to reduce the dependency of chemicals on fossil fuels has recently motivated the adoption of renewable energies in those sectors. In addition, due to a growing population, the treatment and disposition of residual biomass from agricultural process ...
Curbing and capturing CO2 emissions is no longer enough to cope with the demanding environmental challenges of the coming years. Long-term storage technologies need deployment, to help industrial sectors to reach ambitious emission standards. Mineral carbo ...
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) have seen a rapid development over the past decade. However, wide diffusion of high level CAVs is still decades to come, and will depend on many technological, policy and public acceptance factors. Merging a traditio ...
