One-of-a-kind experimental and numerical investigation is provided in this paper about energy sheet pile walls: earth retaining structures that embed heat exchanger probes within piles for the exploitation of shallow geothermal energy. The study resorts to ...
The failure of the Enhanced Geothermal System project of Pohang is a valuable case for understanding better the complex mechanisms at play, as such understanding is crucial to the development of geothermal energy. We summarized analysis of the available da ...
The building sector plays a crucial role in the ongoing energy transition due to its significant share of global energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, especially when combined with the estimation that 70% of the world's population will be living ...
To limit climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, a transition away from fossil fuels is required. Biofuels represent a promising low carbon alternative for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as aviation. The integration of bio ref ...
In this work, the environmental impacts caused by an innovative upcycling process of printed plastic scrap have been assessed through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology for the first time. The process consists of removing the inks from the plastic surfa ...
The development of biorefineries directed to the production of fuels, chemicals, and energy is important to reduce economic dependence and environmental impacts of a petroleum‐based economy. The last two decades have witnessed a fast industrialization and ...
Steady increase in global energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and depletion of fossil energy resources, together with increased attention towards sustainable development has prompted researchers to discover economical and environmentally competit ...
Biomass conversion into either electricity or biofuels requires various energy intensive processes that may drastically affect its technical and environmental competitiveness against their non-renewable counterparts. Therefore, in this paper, a comparative ...
Biorefineries are renowned as an integrative concept that merges essential technologies between the economically feasible biogenic raw material and final products. There is an aggregating trend toward the use of easily available, cheap, and renewable bioma ...
Before this study, no analytical models had been made available for describing the behaviour of plane geostructures subjected to thermal and mechanical actions. This knowledge gap notably represented a limitation for investigations about the behaviour of s ...
