The pulp and paper sector is classified as an energy intensive activity and several efforts are being made to mitigate its atmospheric emissions, improve the recovery of residual heat and capitalize on its byproducts. The black liquor (BL) is a byproduct o ...
The current advances in the integration of devices through the internet of things (IoT) have encouraged researchers to focus on the applications of IoT in the automotive industry. Although different achievements in the in-vehicle network analysis and traff ...
The countries in Western Africa have the greatest potential for renewable energy generation in the world and are likely to be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Unfortunately, only a few of them have tapped into this potential, as non-ren ...
Research problem: Housing is responsible for a considerable part of global resource consumption. In Switzerland, it accounts for almost one third of the country's CO2 emissions and half of the total energy demand. Thus, housing plays an important role in t ...
The capture and conversion of solar energy into other useful forms has been the topic of discussion for the past few decades, accentuated by the need to combat climate change and face the challenge of non-renewability of conventional sources of fuel for ou ...
The conventional configuration of a pulp mill, in which black liquor is concentrated and burnt, is compared to the upgrading gasification routes for methanol (MeOH) or dimethyl ether (DME) co-production. To this end, various exergy-based and environmental ...
To produce chemicals and fuels from CO2 and water while storing excess energy from renewable resources will play a big role in sustainability. Three decades ago, we learned that copper possesses the unique ability to break the stable CO2 bonds and to form ...
Mobility hubs with customer-oriented mobility solutions and integrated area developments make an important contribution to the careful use of scarce land resources and create livable urban space for the population.The transdisciplinary research project "Co ...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element to all living beings but also a finite resource. P-related problems center around broken P cycles from local to global scales. This paper presents outcomes from the 9th International Phosphorus Workshop (IPW9) held 20 ...
The electrification of private mobility is becoming a popular solution to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. However, uncontrollable charging of a large electric vehicle fleet challenges the distribution grid due to transmission bottlenecks, voltage limi ...
