The primary aim of this thesis is to propose a method to develop the process synthesis and optimization of the production of syngas and ammonia, as well as other byproducts such as marketable CO2, in synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (SNF) complexes. The base ...
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 ...
Water treatment, the hydrogen evolution reaction, and carbon capture are examples of the potential applications for solar photocatalysis. This has led to significant effort in the search for suitable heterogeneous catalysts. However, materials developed to ...
The safe storage of CO2 in deep reservoir units requires an efficient sealing of the overlaying caprock. The acidic environment caused by the dissolution of CO2 into the pore fluid can induce changes in the microstructure of the material over the long term ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...
This book collects selected full papers presented at the International Symposium on Energy Geotechnics 2018 (SEG-2018), held on 25th – 28th September 2018, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). It covers a wide range of topics in ...
Woody biomass, a renewable energy resource, accumulates solar energy in form of carbon hydrates produced from atmospheric CO2 and H2O. It is, therefore, a means of CO2 mitigation for society as long as the biogenic carbon released to the atmosphere when de ...
Rising level of carbon dioxide (CO2) is a significant contributor to global warming and poses a major concern in modern society and environment. Anthropogenic activities such as fossil fuel combustion, cement production and deforestation are the primary ca ...
Due to industrialization and urbanization, as humans continue to rely on fossil fuels, carbon dioxide (CO2) will inevitably be generated and result in an increase of Global Warming Gases (GWGs). However, their prospect is misted up because of the environme ...
The main conclusions of an analysis of low-CO2, eco-efficient cement-based materials, carried out by a multi-stakeholder working group initiated by the United Nations Environment Program Sustainable Building and Climate Initiative (UNEP-SBCI) are presented ...
