In the context of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, CO2 capture and storage is regarded as a promising alternative for fossil fuel fed power plants. In order to design and evaluate the competitiveness of such complex integrated energy conversion systems ...
This thesis presents three steps toward a more precise modeling of climate policies using hybrid models. Specific hybrid models have been devised and used to analyze different post-Kyoto Swiss climate policies. Chapter 1 presents a rather simple hybrid mod ...
Confronted to resources depletion and the global warming, the humanity has to reduce its fossil fuels dependence. The renewable energy is an interesting option to reach this aim. The most powerful one is the solar energy since in few hours, the Earth recei ...
In this present work, a life cycle assessment is realized on Solar Two, a test project of a solar tower thermal power plant. The aim of this study is to quantify the impacts on the environment associated with all the stages from cradle-to-grave (production ...
Many U.S. cities use vehicle emissions testing programs to improve air quality by identifying gross polluting vehicles and requiring their owners to make emissions-related repairs. All vehicles that meet certain criteria must pass an emissions test as part ...
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 ...
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 ...
Among the plethora of alternatives available, concentrated solar power (CSP) appears as one of the most favourable options. The stability and dispatchability of production achievable by the integration of storage and fuel-solar hybridisation are amidst the ...
Decentralized power generation and cogeneration of heat and power is an attractive way toward a more rational conversion of fossil or bio fuel. In small scale power production fuel cell – gas turbine hybrid cycles are an emerging candidate to reach higher ...
The conversion of wood to synthetic natural gas (SNG) via gasification and catalytic methanation is a renewable close to commercialization technology that could substitute fossil fuels and alleviate global warming. In order to assure that it is beneficial ...
