On conventional offshore petroleum platforms, the combined heat and power production (CHP) currently depends on simple cycle gas turbine systems (SCGT) that operate at lower efficiency and increased environmental impact compared to modern onshore thermoele ...
Dans un contexte où la nécessité de changer les méthodes de construction devient un réel enjeu, la remise en circulation de matériaux dans de nouveaux projets apparaît comme une solution. Elle est de plus en plus mise en avant et sollicitée par certains ac ...
À l’origine, une cause industrielle: à la porte d'entrée dans le parc du Jura ponctué par l'industrie, l'usine Vonroll de feu et de fonte, donna naissance durant l’âge d’or à la cité ouvrière de Choindez. L’activité désormais désuète annonce l'entropie nat ...
As the EU energy system transitions to low carbon, the technology choices should consider a broader set of criteria. The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) prevents burden shift across life cycle stages or impact categories, while the use of Energy System ...
Rising level of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a significant contributor to global warming and poses a major concern in modern society and environment. Anthropogenic activities such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production and deforestation are the primary ca ...
Reactive nitrogen emissions into the atmosphere are increasing as a result of human activities, affecting nitrogen deposition to the surface and impacting the productivity of terrestrial and marine ecosystems. An atmospheric chemistry-transport model [Trac ...
Le réseau CO2 présente l’avantage de pouvoir servir à la fois de réseau de chauffage et de réseau de refroidissement. Les performances des pompes à chaleur satisfaisant les besoins de chauffage sont élevées et le rendement exergétique des cycles de ces pom ...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from streams greatly contributes to global carbon fluxes. Despite this, the temporal dynamics of CO2 and its drivers remain poorly understood to date. This is particularly true for high-altitude streams. Using high-resolution t ...
Inland waters are key components of the global carbon cycle, emitting a substantial amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Climate change and global warming affect mountain catchments significantly, leading to glacier retreat and changing precip ...
How green or environmentally friendly urban areas are in comparison with rural areas is a topic that has received much attention in recent years. This is understandable because urban areas already emit around 70% of the global greenhouse gases. This percen ...
