Tuning the Solar Performance of Building Facades through Polymer 3D Printing: Toward Bespoke Thermo-Optical Properties

Facades are the primary interface controlling the flow of solar energy in buildings and affecting their energy balance and environmental impact. Recently, large-scale 3D printing (3DP) of translucent polymers has been explored as a technique for fabricatin ...

GCC Countries Strategic Options in a Global Transition to Zero-Net Emissions

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

Using a multi-level perspective approach combined with top-down macroeconomic models, we analyze the situation of the GCC countries in the perspective of a global transition to zero-net emissions before the end of the century. Based on these analyses, we p ...

Swiss Negative Emissions Fund – paying for Net Zero

Philippe Thalmann, Sascha Nick

In this paper, we propose setting up a fund to finance the removal of all Swiss territorial GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions from 2030. The fund will accelerate decarbonization and help reach annual net zero emissions around 2040, and then progressively remo ...

Acidity and the multiphase chemistry of atmospheric aqueous particles and clouds

Athanasios Nenes

The acidity of aqueous atmospheric solutions is a key parameter driving both the partitioning of semi-volatile acidic and basic trace gases and their aqueous-phase chemistry. In addition, the acidity of atmospheric aqueous phases, e.g., deliquesced aerosol ...

Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in the Transition to Net-Zero Emissions: Collective Implementation and Distributional Impacts

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

As an instrument to minimize carbon leakage, the effects and feasibility of Carbon Border Adjustments Mechanism (CBAM) will depend on multiple design options. While the EU has committed to introducing CBAM as part of its green climate deal, pursuing climat ...

Where is the EU headed given its current climate policy? A stakeholder-driven model inter-comparison

Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana

Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces back to what stakeholders are ul ...

Lowering CO2 emissions in the Swiss transport sector

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle

In Switzerland, transportation represents 41% of CO2 emissions from energy combustion (2016), a much higher share than in the European Union (EU) (28%) or even the USA (34%). While total Swiss CO2 emissions decreased by 10% between 1990 and 2016, CO2 emiss ...

Meta-Modeling to Assess the Possible Future of Paris Agreement

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

In the meta-modeling approach, one builds a numerically tractable dynamic optimization or game model in which the parameters are identified through statistical emulation of a detailed large scale numerical simulation model. In this paper, we show how this ...

Assessment of balanced burden-sharing in the 2050 EU climate/energy roadmap: a metamodeling approach

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

In this paper we propose a non-cooperative meta-game approach to designing and assessing climate agreements among 28 European countries that will be compatible with the EU 2050 climate target. Our proposed game model is identified through statistical emula ...

Multi-objective Design Optimization of a NGCC Power Plant with CO2 Capture Using Life Cycle Assessment Results

François Maréchal

Multi-objective optimisation methodology is ideally suited to incorporate environmental objectives in the optimal design of energy conversion systems. It is also desirable to optimise life-cycle emissions rather than local emissions only. However, using LC ...
