Studying the Dynamic Relationship between Energy Supply Carbon Content and Building Energy Demand

Marilyne Andersen, Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza

Due to different temporal combinations of energy generation processes, the global warming potential (GWP) of energy supply evolves constantly. Despite this, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the energy consumption in buildings are commonly asse ...

Environomic optimal design of power plants with CO2 capture

François Maréchal, Laurence Tock

Life cycle impact assessment indicators are integrated for studying the process integration of renewable resources and CO2 capture and storage (CCS) in power plants. Besides the expected reduction in global warming potential (GWP), CCS induces energy and c ...
