The design and operation of energy systems are key issues for matching the energy supply and consumption. Moreover, in the present context of finding ways to decrease CO2 emission, poly-generation technologies, together with the integration of renewable en ...
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century the limitations of the fossil age with regard to the continuing growth of energy demand, the peaking mining rate of oil, the growing impact of CO2 emissions on the environment and the dependency of the econom ...
There has been growing concern about the way cultivating biomass for the production of agro-biofuels competes with food production. To avoid this competition biomass production for biofuels will, in the long term, have to be completely decoupled from food ...
A detailed thermo-economic model combining thermodynamics with economic analysis and considering different technological alternatives for the thermochemical production of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass is presented. Energetic and economic models ...
This thesis addresses the availability and environmentally optimal use of bioenergy. A life cycle perspective is adopted to consider the supply, the technical conversion, and the final use of bioenergy as well as its use for the substitution of fossil ener ...
Biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), is increasingly recognized as a renewable fuel. While some environmental impacts of biodiesel usage have been investigated, accumulation of organic compounds in motor oil, which can subsequently lea ...
With the change of energy regulations in the Geneva canton, exergy and exergy system efficiency entered into everyday life. Exergy is defined as the potential of maximum work which can ideally be obtained from each energy unit. This analysis allows coheren ...
The goal of this project would be to analyze and compare systematically the different existing and emerging processes producing hydrogen from fossil and renewable resources. As the perspective would be the replacement of fossil fuels with hydrogen in the t ...

If mitigation of black carbon (BC) particulate matter is accompanied by a decrease in particle number emissions, and thereby by a decrease in global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations, a decrease in global cloud radiative forcing (a reverse-gcl ...
