Renewable energy integration and waste heat valorization in aluminum remelting for co-producing kerosene and methanol
François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Réginald Germanier
The aluminium sector relies on natural gas for the conversion of recycled scrap into new feedstock, which results in substantial atmospheric emissions. Hydric resources are also impacted, as they serve as heat sinks for the waste heat generated during the ...

Associazione Italiana Di Ingegneria Chimica2024Design and Synthesis of Bio-based Amphiphiles from Lignocellulosic Biomass
In the pursuit of a carbon-neutral chemical industry, minimizing fossil feedstock consumption while integrating renewable carbon sources is imperative. Surfactants, inherently amphiphilic, pose challenges in separation and recovery processes. Given their e ...
EPFL2024Modeling, design and economics of PEC devices
Photo-electrochemical (PEC) devices allow for converting solar energy into chemical energy and for the production of energetically dense solar fuels. Light absorption, charge separation and transport, electrochemical reactions, and ionic transport are requ ...
EPFL2024Multilayer diffusion-barrier composites based on microfibrillated cellulose from wood, bacterial and algae sources
This work is driven by the effort towards increased environmental sustainability and aims to develop a new food packaging material based on renewable materials, and more specifically cellulose as the most abundant biomass resource on Earth. Focus was on mi ...
EPFL2024Closing the balance - on the role of integrating biorefineries in the future energy system (vol 7, pg 4839, 2023)
François Maréchal, Jonas Schnidrig, Julia Granacher
Correction for 'Closing the balance - on the role of integrating biorefineries in the future energy system' by Julia Granacher et al., Sustainable Energy Fuels, 2023, 7, 4839-4854, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3SE00473B. ...
Cambridge2023Energy inequality and air pollution nexus in India
Energy usage, inequality, and their impacts are deeply intertwined, especially in India. Every year, cooking using biomass-based solid fuel usage causes death to tens of thousands of Indians, specifically, economically unprivileged people. Solid fuel burni ...
2023Solar fuel processing: Comparative mini-review on research, technology development, and scaling
Solar energy provides an unprecedented potential as a renewable and sustainable energy resource and will substantially reshape our future energy economy. It is not only useful in producing electricity but also (high-temperature) heat and fuel, both require ...
2022Degradation study of a reversible solid oxide cell (rSOC) short stack using distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis
Jan Van Herle, Stefan Diethelm, Philippe Aubin, Suhas Nuggehalli Sampathkumar, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes
Reversible solid oxide cells (rSOC) can convert excess electricity to valuable fuels in electrolysis cell mode (SOEC) and reverse the reaction in fuel cell mode (SOFC). In this work, a five - cell rSOC short stack, integrating fuel electrode (Ni-YSZ) suppo ...
