Fly-Swat or Cannon? Cost-Effective Language Model Choice via Meta-Modeling

Robert West, Maxime Jean Julien Peyrard, Marija Sakota

Generative language models (LMs) have become omnipresent across data science. For a wide variety of tasks, inputs can be phrased as natural language prompts for an LM, from whose output the solution can then be extracted. LM performance has consistently be ...

Toward Sustainable and Cost-Effective CO2 Conversion Processes to Propylene Carbonate Based on Ionic Liquids

Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) for CO2 capture and utilization into a valuable product is attracting interest even though literature evaluating their sustainability is scarce. A liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)-based separation is recently proposed as an alt ...

Techno-Economic Evaluation of Biological and Fluidised-Bed Based Methanation Process Chains for Grid-Ready Biomethane Production

Oliver Kröcher, Tilman J. Schildhauer, Andreas Gantenbein

Three different power-to-methane process chains with grid injection in two scales (1 MWel and 6 MWel) were analysed regarding their investment and operation cost. The process chains were based on biological or catalytic bubbling fluidised bed methanation i ...
