Lignocellulosic biomass seems promising renewable feedstocks for the production of biofuels and other value-added products. It is composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, which are connected by several intra-and inter-polymer linkages. For effecti ...
Renewable resources of energy are increasing their share in our energy portfolio thanks to the technological advancements and an increasing environmental awareness in society. Although the cost of power generation from these resources has been reduced to r ...
The constituent countries of the MENA region---defined in this thesis in conformity with the regional definition of the International Energy Agency and encompassing 17 Muslim countries in North Africa, in the Levant, on the Arabian Peninsula, and Iran---ha ...
A systematic framework is developed for the thermo-environomic modeling, analysis and optimization of fuel decarbonization processes using precombustion routes to decarbonize the fuel by CO2 removal before burning the purified H2-rich gas in a gas turbine ...
A detailed thermo-economic model combining thermodynamics with economic analysis and considering different technological alternatives for the thermochemical production of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass is presented. Energetic and economic models ...
Methane (CH4) is an important greenhouse gas, second only to CO2, and is emitted into the atmosphere at different concentrations from a variety of sources. However, unlike CO2, which has a quadrupole moment and can be captured both physically and chemicall ...
