Importance of hydropower reservoirs and dams in Europe to mitigate the energy crisis and to serve as a catalyst and enabler for the Green Deal
Hydropower has a long tradition in Europe and contributed significantly during the last century to industrial development and welfare in most of the countries in Europe. The ambitious plan for an energy transition in Europe now seeks to achieve a lowcarbon ...
CRC Press/Balkema2023Leveraging industrial biorefineries for the energy transition
François Maréchal, Julia Granacher
Biorefineries hold the potential to provide products and energy carriers at reduced environmental impact compared to their fossil-based counterparts. Thus, they can contribute to the decarbonization of sectors in which electrification of demands is challen ...
London2023Towards mainstreaming of shared spaces as a basis for sustainable wellbeing for all
Like other rich countries, Switzerland is using energy and material at a per-capita rate far above the world average, contributing to multiple crises of climate, biodiversity, pollution, and numerous factors of human wellbeing, especially health, inequalit ...
Lulu Press2023Renewable Energy Integration and Waste Heat Recovery for the Production of Sustainable Jet Fuel and Decarbonization of Industrial Heating Applications
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Réginald Germanier
The process synthesis and optimization methods used in this work include simulation of biomass gasification, hydrogen and synthetic natural gas production, and jet fuel production via a Fisher Tropsch unit. An energy integration approach, carried out by th ...
American Institute of Chemical Engineering2023Industrial European regions at risk within the Fit fo 55: How far implementing CBAM can mitigate?
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
The EU climate neutrality target requires substantial changes in the energy system, and the transition toward deep decarbonisation might adversely affect economic activities. The proposal to implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) aims to s ...
2023The importance of young professionals for dam engineering in Switzerland
Samuel Luke Vorlet, Valentina Favero
In Switzerland, hydropower is the main energy source and contributes to about 58.3% of the total production. The 2050 energy strategy aims to increase this share in the coming decades. This increase is a challenge for hydropower plants. The maintenance and ...
CRC Press/Balkema2023Location is a major barrier for transferring US fossil fuel employment to green jobs
The green energy revolution may displace 1.7 million fossil fuel workers in the US but a Just Transition to emerging green industry jobs offers possibilities for re-employing these workers. Here, using 14 years of power plant data from the US Energy Inform ...
2023SWICE position paper on wellbeing
This document aims to help ensure consistent use of wellbeing in all work packages and activities of SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition). Sustainability is usually defined as a practice that “meets ...
SWICE (Sustainable Wellbeing for the Individual and the Collectivity in the Energy transition)2023Diffusion of connected and autonomous vehicles concerning mode choice, policy interventions and sustainability impacts: A system dynamics modelling study
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) have seen a rapid development over the past decade. However, wide diffusion of high level CAVs is still decades to come, and will depend on many technological, policy and public acceptance factors. Merging a traditio ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023A tale of two coal regimes: An actor-oriented analysis of destabilisation and maintenance of coal regimes in Germany and Japan
Phasing out coal-fired electricity is an urgent global task, critical to efforts to mitigate climate change and air pollution. Despite the growth and increasing competitiveness of renewable energy, phase-out progress is slow, with coal-fired power even rea ...
