A multi-model analysis of the EU’s path to net zero

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU’s path, from “Fit for 55” in 2030 to an intermed ...

How to Decarbonize Our Energy Systems: Process-Informed Design of New Materials for Carbon Capture

Berend Smit, Susana Garcia Lopez

Decarbonisation from a variety of industrial and power emission sectors highlights a marked need for capture technologies that can be optimized for different CO2 sources and integrated into an equally diverse range of applications of captured CO2 as a feed ...

Autocatalysis and CO2: Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) Meets Natural Processes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Martin Hulla, Gabriela Gastelu

Autocatalytic reactions were proposed to play a key role at the beginning of life starting from the first reduction of CO2 to formate, acetate and C-1-C-4 hydrocarbons. In carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes, the same reactions were demonstrated ...

Input factor substitution under climate-neutral pathways

Marc Vielle, Fleance George Cocker

Achieving climate neutrality will require clean alternatives to entirely replace fossil technologies in most economic sectors. However, standard Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) frameworks, which are widely used to analyse climate policies and rely on ...

On the role of system integration in plastic waste management

François Maréchal, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Julia Granacher

The management of plastic waste is a growing concern that can harm wildlife and ecosystems, and its end-of-life policies are key to mitigating plastic environmental impact. This work presents a decision-making methodology for the thermal and material valor ...

A Robust Framework for Generating Adsorption Isotherms to Screen Materials for Carbon Capture

Berend Smit, Susana Garcia Lopez, Elias Moubarak, Seyedmohamad Moosavi

To rank the performanceof materials for a given carbon captureprocess, we rely on pure component isotherms from which we predictthe mixture isotherms. For screening a large number of materials,we also increasingly rely on isotherms predicted from molecular ...

A data-science approach to predict the heat capacity of nanoporous materials

Berend Smit, Susana Garcia Lopez, Elias Moubarak, Balázs Álmos Novotny, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Daniele Ongari, Mehrdad Asgari, Andres Adolfo Ortega Guerrero, Özge Kadioglu

The heat capacity of a material is a fundamental property of great practical importance. For example, in a carbon capture process, the heat required to regenerate a solid sorbent is directly related to the heat capacity of the material. However, for most m ...

Intentional oxygen oscillations on Pd/Al2O3 for enhanced methane removal from the exhaust of natural gas engines

Maneka Claire Roger

Natural gas (NG) is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Although NG is considered a fossil fuel, methane (CH4), its main component, can be produced industrially from power ...

Prospective study on the cost evolution for key energy technologies

François Maréchal, Xiang Li

Drastic variations of energy costs are witnessed in past decades, especially for low-carbon technologies, where decreasing and increasing trends co-existed. Estimating the cost evolution in the future is hence essential in long-term energy planning. Despit ...
