Quantifying functional group compositions of household fuel-burning emissions
Satoshi Takahama, Amir Yazdani
Globally, billions of people burn fuels indoors for cooking and heating, which contributes to millions of chronic illnesses and premature deaths annually. Additionally, residential burning contributes significantly to black carbon emissions, which have the ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2024Climate risk assessment of buildings: An analysis of operating emissions of commercial offices in Australia
Building climate risk assessment involves benchmarking a building's energy use intensity against decarbonisation pathways to mitigate the impacts on climate change. Various climate risk assessment tools and frameworks are used for commercial buildings in d ...
Elsevier Science Sa2024Impact of anthropogenic emission control in reducing future PM2.5 concentrations and the related oxidative potential across different regions of China
Affected by both future anthropogenic emissions and climate change, future prediction of PM2.5 and its Oxidative Potential (OP) distribution is a significant challenge, especially in developing countries like China. To overcome this challenge, we estimated ...
Elsevier2024Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System
In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...
EPFL2023Action Levers towards Sustainable Wellbeing: Re-Thinking Negative Emissions, Sufficiency, Deliberative Democracy
Systems theory defines leverage points as places to intervene in order to change a system. Points with high impact on system behavior are notoriously hard to act upon, and indeed most policy intervention is based at the lowest level (#12 in Donella Meadows ...
EPFL2023Investigating the impact of the molecular charge-exchange rate on detached SOLPS-ITER simulations
Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh
Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the ion target flux, and molecular activated dissociation (MAD), both of which create e ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023A 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 ...
2023Data-enabled Predictive Control for Empty Vehicle Rebalancing
Nikolaos Geroliminis, Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Pengbo Zhu
A critical operational challenge in Mobility-on-demand systems is the problem of imbalance between vehicle supply and passenger demand. However, conventional model-based methods require accurate parametric system models with complex nonlinear dynamics that ...
IEEE2023Regionalisation in high share renewable energy system modelling
François Maréchal, Jonas Schnidrig, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Xiang Li
Governments are setting ambitious targets to tackle the issue of global warming by switching to renewable energy sources and reducing CO2 -emissions. For example, as announced in November 2020, Canada aims to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050. Large c ...
IEEE2022Equal abundance of summertime natural and wintertime anthropogenic Arctic organic aerosols
Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Houssni Lamkaddam, Pragati Rai
Aerosols play an important yet uncertain role in modulating the radiation balance of the sensitive Arctic atmosphere. Organic aerosol is one of the most abundant, yet least understood, fractions of the Arctic aerosol mass. Here we use data from eight obser ...
