Techno-economic evaluation of biomass-to-fuels with solid-oxide electrolyzer

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Ligang Wang, Hanfei Zhang

Thermochemical biomass-to-fuel conversion requires an increased hydrogen concentration in the syngas derived from gasification, which is currently achieved by water–gas-shift reaction and CO2 removal. State-of-the-art biomass-to-fuels convert less than hal ...

Lewis acid catalyst-steered divergent synthesis of functionalized vicinal amino alcohols and pyrroles from tertiary enamides

Jieping Zhu, Shuo Tong

We report herein two Lewis acid catalyst-steered distinct reaction pathways of N-formylmethyl tertiary enamides. In the presence of a catalytic amount of AlCl3 and 4 angstrom molecular sieves, the stable N-formylmethyl tertiary enamides underwent sequentia ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...

Process integration as a tool for the improvement of cruise ships energy efficiency

François Maréchal, Francesco Baldi

The growing trend of the cruise ship industry, together with increasing concerns over its impact on the environment, makes these ships a much relevant target for efforts toward increasing ship energy efficiency, thus ultimately reducing fuel consumption an ...
