Can regional railway become emission-free with recently announced vehicles? - A case study of Bavaria

Michel Bierlaire, Nikola Obrenovic, Florian Mueller

Significant shares of regional passenger railway still rely on pollutive diesel vehicles. Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Stadler have reacted and recently announced Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). In this paper, we anal ...

Collecting Large-Scale Traffic Data with a Swarm of Drones

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis

The new era of “big data” requires going past the current conventional methods for gathering traffic information that until now depend either on fixed-area sensors or GPS devices. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or just "drones" have been proposed as a moder ...

Exergy Recovery During Liquefied Natural Gas Regasification Using Methane as Working Fluid

François Maréchal, Francesco Baldi, Francesca Belfiore

The increased concerns about the effect of human activities on the climate have pushed natural gas among the most obvious solutions for the transition to a low-carbon economy. The growing importance and volumes of liquefied natural gas for transportation o ...

Methane oxidation over a honeycomb Pd-only three-way catalyst under static and periodic operation

Davide Ferri, Oliver Kröcher

Natural gas is receiving increasing awareness as fuel for passenger vehicles due to its very low specific CO2 emissions. However, control of CH4 emissions from natural gas combustion in stoichiometric engines requires a specific three-way catalyst (TWC). T ...

Template synthesis of methylammonium lead iodide in the matrix of anodic titanium dioxide via the direct conversion of electrodeposited elemental lead

A new processing technique is proposed for composites based on the hybrid organic inorganic perovskite MeNH3PbI3 and anodic titania nanotube arrays, which includes a direct gas phase conversion of metal lead nanorods electrodeposited inside the pores of an ...

Exploring the potential of e-mobility to improve resource efficiency through scenario-based life cycle analysis

The transport sector is the second largest emitter of GHG emissions in the EU and about two thirds of the emissions are generated from road transport. More importantly, while emissions from other sectors have shown a consistent decreasing trend, GHG emissi ...

Deactivation Aspects of Methane Oxidation Catalysts Based on Palladium and ZSM-5

Davide Ferri, Mohamed Tarik

Catalytic methane oxidation is used in exhaust gas after treatment to reduce methane emissions in stationary combustion processes as well as in natural gas vehicles. Pd/zeolite catalysts provide higher activity than the commonly used Pd/Al2O3, but suffer f ...

Towards a standardization of biomethane potential tests

Christof Holliger, Gabrielle Hack, Jing Liu

Production of biogas from different organic materials is a most interesting source of renewable energy. The biomethane potential (BMP) of these materials has to be determined to get insight in design parameters for anaerobic digesters. Although several nor ...

Exergy and environmental comparison of the end use of vehicle fuels: The Brazilian case

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 ...

The materials genome in action: identifying the performance limits for methane storage

Berend Smit, Cory Matthew Simon, Rocio Mercado

Analogous to the way the Human Genome Project advanced an array of biological sciences by mapping the human genome, the Materials Genome Initiative aims to enhance our understanding of the fundamentals of materials science by providing the information we n ...
