A systemic study for enhanced waste heat recovery and renewable energy integration towards decarbonizing the aluminium industry

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Réginald Germanier

The aluminium remelting industry relies on natural gas to transform recycled aluminium into aluminium feedstock, entailing significant atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also affected as they are used as sinks of waste heat from the casting proces ...

Hybridisation Scenarios of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, Batteries, and Internal Combustion Engines for Waterborne Transportation

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

The shipping industry was responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2018. In this context, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has established stringent targets to reduce GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared t ...

Nighttime chemistry of biomass burning emissions in urban areas: A dual mobile chamber study

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Residential biomass burning for heating purposes is an important source of air pollutants during winter. Here we test the hypothesis that significant secondary organic aerosol production can take place even during winter nights through oxidation of the emi ...

Evaluation of materials for iodine and technetium immobilization through sorption and redox-driven processes

Wendy Lee Queen, Daniel Teav Sun

Radioactive iodine-129 (I-129) and technetium-99 (Tc-9(9)) pose a risk to groundwater due to their long half-lives, toxicity, and high environmental mobility. Based on literature reviewed in Moore et al. (2019) and Pearce et aL (2019), natural and engineer ...

Mitigation of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Log Wood Burning Emissions by Catalytic Removal of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Davide Ferri, Oliver Kröcher

Log wood burning is a significant source of volatile organic compounds including aromatic hydrocarbons (ArHC). ArHC are harmful, are reactive in the ambient atmosphere, and are important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) precursors. Consequently, SOA represe ...

Energy and Exergy Analysis of a Cruise Ship

Tuong-Van Nguyen, Francesco Baldi, Karin Andersson

In recent years, the International Maritime Organization agreed on aiming to reduce shipping’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50% with respect to 2009 levels. Meanwhile, cruise ship tourism is growing at a fast pace, making the challenge of achieving this goa ...

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 ...

Environmental Monitoring using Autonomous Vehicles: A Survey of Recent Searching Techniques

Auke Ijspeert, Alessandro Crespi

Autonomous vehicles are becoming an essential tool in a wide range of environmental applications that include ambient data acquisition, remote sensing, and mapping of the spatial extent of pollutant spills. Among these applications, pollution source locali ...

Hydrogen Storage in the Carbon Dioxide - Formic Acid Cycle

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink, Mickael Montandon-Clerc

This year Mankind will release about 39 Gt carbon dioxide into the earth's atmosphere, where it acts as a greenhouse gas. The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important, as the CO2 concentration in the atm ...
