The use of ionic liquids (ILs) for CO2 capture and utilization into a valuable product is attracting interest even though literature evaluating their sustainability is scarce. A liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)-based separation is recently proposed as an alt ...
The present work aims to provide insights into the dynamic operation of a coupled reformer/combustion unit that can utilize a variety of saturated hydrocarbons (HCs) with 1–4 C atoms towards H2 production (along with CO2). Within this concept, a preselecte ...
Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) is a promising approach to fractionate lignocellulose and convert lignin to a narrow product slate. To guide research towards commercialization, cost and sustainability must be considered. Here we report a techno-eco ...
Natural gas is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Unburnt CH4 is typically removed from the exhaust using palladium-based catalysts, which suffer from thermal deactivatio ...
Conceived by Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Clip-Air proposes a plane with a single flying wing encompassing the airframe, cockpit, and three engines, attached to a maximum of three interchangeable capsules a more flexible and effi ...
Natural gas is receiving increasing awareness as fuel for passenger vehicles due to its very low specific CO2 emissions. However, control of CH4 emissions from natural gas combustion in stoichiometric engines requires a specific three-way catalyst (TWC). T ...
The increase of the effective efficiency of the internal combustion engines is important for the fuel consumption reduction and the CO2 emission reduction. The variable engine valve trains are important for the gas exchanges and influence directly the effe ...
Power-to-fuel systems via solid-oxide electrolysis are promising for storing excess renewable electricity by efficient electrolysis of steam (or co-electrolysis of steam and CO2) into hydrogen (or syngas), which can be further converted into synthetic fuel ...
The internal combustion engines are the most applied energy converters in the passenger cars. In order to increase their efficiency, energy integration techniques are used to recover the waste heat. An adapted methodology is required to design the Organic ...
