American Institute of Chemical Engineering2023Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System
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 ...
EPFL2023A study on synergies of combined pulp and fuel production
François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Julia Granacher, Erina Clare Mcdonald
To limit climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, a transition away from fossil fuels is required. Biofuels represent a promising low carbon alternative for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as aviation. The integration of bio ref ...
2021Using agricultural residues for sustainable transportation biofuels in 2050: Case of West Africa
Edgard Gnansounou, Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon
This article focuses on the use of biomass to produce transportation fuels such as synthetic natural gas, bioethanol and electricity under a sustainable scenario in West Africa in 2050. The aim of this work was to evaluate the feasibility of producing such ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Carboxylic Acids to Fuels and Chemicals
Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...
EPFL2019Catalytic valorization of the acetate fraction of biomass to aromatics and its integration into the carboxylate platform
Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago, Benjamin Pierre Le Monnier, Jher Hau Yeap, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz, Ahmed Mohamed Ibrahim Elkhaiary
In many plant species, the acetate fraction is the fourth most prominent fraction by weight after cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and can be easily extracted as a single stable molecule, acetic acid, at high yields. Despite this, upgrading the acetate ...
2019Cuprous Oxide Photoelectrodes for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting towards Unassisted Solar Hydrogen Production
To handle global problems of energy and environmental pollution, efforts have been made to harvest energy from sunlight. Photoelectrochemcal water splitting is an efficient way to achieve sustainable solar-fuel production. However, to make this method comp ...
