In this work, a comparative exergy and environmental analysis of the vehicle fuel end use is presented. This analysis comprises petroleum and natural gas derivatives (including hydrogen), biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel), and their mixtures, besides of the ...
Increase in consumption as well as depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns about the consequences of burning fossil fuels leads to search for alternative renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic biomasses are plenteous in nature and are rich in cellul ...

This paper presents an exergy and environmental assessment of a 1000 metric t/day ammonia production plant based on the steam methane reforming (SMR) process, including the syngas production, purification (CO2 capture) and compression units, as well as the ...
The direct transformation of sunlight into fuels and chemicals has attracted considerable attention for the potential impact on the storage of solar energies at large scales and the reduction of CO2 emissions. More than 80% of our current global energy con ...
Green house gas emissions, the depleting of non-renewable resources, and poor waste management have a detrimental environmental and socioeconomic impact. Consequantly, the development of alternative processes that alleviate these problems is imperative. Ap ...
Due to the global increase in energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and the depletion of fossil energy resources, the research presented here is focused on finding economically and environmentally competitive renewable energy resources. Fuel produc ...
The notion of urban sprawl is a central topic of discourses about sustainable city. In Switzerland as in most European countries, many single-family houses are still being built in the farthest peripheries of urban agglomerations. Characterized by low dens ...
Natural gas is defined as a combustible mixture of hydrocarbons coming from ground deposits and it is mainly used as a source of energy for burners and motors. Its consumption is increasing worldwide, as this represents a cheap and abundant source of energ ...
An exergy and environmental comparison between the fuel production routes for Brazilian transportation sector, including fossil fuels (natural gas, oil-derived products and hydrogen), biofuels (ethanol and biodiesel) and electricity is performed, and the p ...
This paper presents an exergy and environmental assessment of a 1000 metric t/day ammonia production plant based on the steam methane reforming (SMR) process, including the syngas production, purification (CO2 capture) and compression units, as well as the ...
