Autocatalysis and CO2: Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) Meets Natural Processes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Martin Hulla, Gabriela Gastelu

Autocatalytic reactions were proposed to play a key role at the beginning of life starting from the first reduction of CO2 to formate, acetate and C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons. In carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes, the same reactions were demonstrated ...

Offshore Utility Systems for FPSOs: A Techno-Environomic Assessment Considering the Uncertainty About the Natural Gas Price

Due to restricted weight and space budget on floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), the offshore utility systems have been limited to low-efficiency energy technologies. Moreover, owing to time-varying energy demands of the FPSOs, the ex ...

Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...

Observation of methane filled hexagonal ice stable up to 150 GPa

Philippe Gillet, Richard Gaal, Livia Eleonora Bove Kado, Umbertoluca Ranieri

Gas hydrates consist of hydrogen-bonded water frameworks enclosing guest gas molecules and have been the focus of intense research for almost 40 y, both for their fundamental role in the understanding of hydrophobic interactions and for gas storage and ene ...

Pedestal structure and energy confinement studies on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Patrick Blanchard, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui

High external gas injection rates are foreseen for future devices to reduce divertor heat loads and this can influence pedestal stability. Fusion yield has been estimated to vary as strongly as T-e,ped(2) so an understanding of the underlying pedestal phys ...

Comparative exergy and economic assessment of fossil and biomass-based routes for ammonia production

François Maréchal

The use of biomass gasification for partially or totally replacing methane in the integrated syngas and ammonia production plant is compared with the performance of the conventional route, typically based on steam methane reforming. However, by undertaking ...
