This study presents a comparative analysis of various configurations for sustainable olefins production via chemical recycling of plastic/biomass wastes, integrating CO2 capture, storage and management technologies. The co-gasification, methanol synthesis ...
In the realm of photoconversion of CO2 into high-value chemicals, the importance of near-infrared (NIR) light is gradually gaining recognition. Relative to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light, NIR light (700-2500 nm), accounting for ca. 50% of solar energy, ...
The global energy sector stands at a critical juncture, with the imperative shift towards renewable energy sources posing challenges and opportunities for existing infrastructure and societal norms. This thesis explores the multifaceted dynamics of transit ...
Switzerland's Energy Strategy 2050 promotes the use of renewable energy resources. Hydropower and solar energy peak in the summertime, while the demand for energy increases in the wintertime, which creates a seasonal mismatch between energy production and ...
Urban surfaces absorb heat, raising ambient temperature and contributing to urban overheating, greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, energy hikes, and heat-related health issues. Passive Daytime Radiative Coolers (PDRC), available in white or ...
Shallow ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs) are a promising technology for contributing to the decarbonisation of the energy sector. In heating-dominated climates, the combined use of GSHPs for both heating and cooling increases their technical potential, def ...
Electricity production and consumption must be balanced for the electrical grid. However, the rapidly growing intermittent power sources are now challenging the supply-demand balance, leading to large flexibility needs for grid management. The plant integr ...
