Heat pumps will play an important role in improving the performance of the industrial processes aiming to decarbonize their heating requirements. Yet, defining the best operating conditions of those devices may be a challenging task, as they are embedded i ...
This work evaluates the potential to produce synthetic nitrogen fertilizers by using sugarcane bagasse gasification in the São Paulo state, Brazil, aiming to increase the economic revenues and to decarbonize a chemical sector traditionally based on natural ...
This work focuses on the revamp of existing sugarcane biorefineries and cogeneration units by using those byproducts, aiming to increase the selling of surplus electricity. The analysis allows identifying potential improvements in the sugarcane cogeneratio ...
The existing cogeneration systems on offshore petroleum platforms face clashing targets intrinsic to offshore applications, namely, weight, area, cost and efficiency. Moreover, the prolonged offdesign operating conditions during their lifetime further incr ...
Due to restricted weight and space budget on floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO), the offshore utility systems have been limited to low-efficiency energy technologies. Moreover, owing to time-varying energy demands of the FPSOs, the ex ...
To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, governments around the world must shift to renewable energy (RE) to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions within the next 10-30 years. The development of effective strategies for RE integratio ...
The production of synthetic fuels and chemicals from solar energy and abundant reagents offers a promising pathway to a sustainable fuel economy and chemical industry. For the production of hydrogen, photoelectrochemical or integrated photovoltaic and elec ...
One of the main global goals is the reduction of the energy consumption and the most appropriate way for achieving this aim is to target one of most critical sectors, the residential. The selected technology for this work is the district energy network, wh ...
