CO2 Capture and Management Strategies for Decarbonizing Secondary Aluminium Production

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Réginald Germanier

The production of aluminium largely depends on the use of fossil fuels, resulting in the emission of significant amounts of greenhouse gases. As the aluminium industry is working towards decreasing its environmental burdens, the elimination of direct emiss ...

Integrating CO2 mineralization in industrial clusters: the benefits of material and heat integration

François Maréchal, Rafael Amorim Leandro De Castro Amoedo, Julia Granacher, Mouhannad Abou Daher

Curbing and capturing CO2 emissions is no longer enough to cope with the demanding environmental challenges of the coming years. Long-term storage technologies need deployment, to help industrial sectors to reach ambitious emission standards. Mineral carbo ...

The Rebound Effects from Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvements

Michel Zimmermann

In energy policy, energy efficiency constitutes a central element in reducing domestic and, specifically, industrial en-ergy use. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of energy efficiency improvements in achieving its targets is known to be limited by rebound ...

A two-step decision model on energy retrofitting buildings

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Sergey Arzoyan

In standard modelling of energy and climate policies, the speed and extent of energy efficiency improvements (EEIs) are usually assumed to be unaffected, even by policies designed to foster innovation. We model endogenous EEI in a model of the Swiss housin ...

Defining deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland: an economic evaluation

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

This paper aims at simulating deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland. The analysis relies on macro-economic simulations of GEMINI-E3, a computable general equilibrium model used to assess the energy and economic impacts of a Swiss low carbon society ...

CO2-mitigation options for the offshore oil and gas sector

François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Laurence Tock

The offshore extraction of oil and gas is an energy-intensive process leading to the production of CO2 and methane, discharged into the atmosphere, and of chemicals, rejected into the sea. The taxation of these emissions, in Norway, has encouraged the deve ...
