Toward smart carbon capture with machine learning

Berend Smit, Seyedmohamad Moosavi, Mohammad Rahimi

Machine learning (ML) is emerging as a powerful approach that has recently shown potential to affect various frontiers of carbon capture, a key interim technology to assist in the mitigation of climate change. In this perspective, we reveal how ML implemen ...

Socio-technical modeling of smart energy systems: a co-simulation design for domestic energy demand

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Matteo Barsanti, Lionel Guy Gérard Constantin, Pranay Kasturi

To tackle the climate crisis, the European energy strategy relies on consumers taking ownership of the energy transition, accelerating decarbonisation through investments in low-carbon technologies and ensuring system stability and reliability by actively ...

Carbon dioxide activation and hydrogenation over copper-based catalysts studied by near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Mo Li

Carbon neutrality has been proposed as a commitment by the international communities for the well-being of human. To achieve carbon neutrality, one practical approach is to synthesize fuels and chemicals through CO2 hydrogenation to replace fossil fuels. C ...

Component reuse in structural design: emerging practices and tools for the circular economy

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Structural engineers play an increasing role in ensuring the transition towards a more sustainable construction sector: a) they are responsible for the design of the most resource- and energy-intensive part of buildings and infrastructure, and b) they regu ...

Decarbonization in Complex Energy Systems: A Study on the Feasibility of Carbon Neutrality for Switzerland in 2050

François Maréchal, Xiang Li, Stefano Moret, Theodoros Damartzis, Boris Meier

Decarbonization gained prominence with the witnessed rise of temperature over recent years, particularly in the aftermath of the adoption of the Paris agreement for limiting the temperature increase within 2°C until 2050. Biogenic resources are explicitly ...

Low-carbon transition risk

As evidence of climate change mounts, the urgency increases of transitioning to a low-carbon economy and society. There is a need for greater attention on the countervailing “transition risks” to which the low-carbon transition is likely to give rise. This ...

Hybrid membranes for energy-efficient carbon capture

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Guangwei He

Gas separation membrane comprising a porous support onto which is deposited a nanoporous single-layer graphene film with a CO2-philic polymer film having a thickness of 5-100 nm coated on top of graphene nanopores, acting as a CO2-selective film, wherein t ...

A review of approaches to low-carbon transition of high-rise residential buildings in China

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Yi Wang

In developing countries with a large population and fast urbanization, High-rise Residential Buildings (HRBs) have unavoidably become a very common, if not the most, accommodation solution. The paradigm of HRB energy consumption is characterized by high-de ...

Exploring the Robustness of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Renovation Scenarios to Climate Change Perspectives: Results for a multi-family building in the Swiss context

Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Émilie Nault

Building renovation is one of the main strategies put forth in western countries, where energy regulations are becoming increasingly demanding. Switzerland for example has set the ambitious target aiming at carbon neutrality for 2050. Building-integrated p ...

Life cycle assessment integration into energy system models: An application for Power-to-Methane in the EU

François Maréchal, Alexis Laurent

As the EU energy system transitions to low carbon, the technology choices should consider a broader set of criteria. The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) prevents burden shift across life cycle stages or impact categories, while the use of Energy System ...
