A study on synergies of combined pulp and fuel production

François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Erina Clare Mcdonald, Julia Granacher

To limit climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, a transition away from fossil fuels is required. Biofuels represent a promising low carbon alternative for sectors that are hard to electrify, such as aviation. The integration of bio ref ...

A modelling framework for assessing the impact of green mobility technologies on energy systems

François Maréchal, Tuong-Van Nguyen, Jonas Schnidrig, Xiang Li

A successful decarbonisation of the European Union, coupled with a high integration of renewable energy and ambitious targets for energy efficiency, can only be reached with a significant contribution from the transporta- tion sector. It currently represen ...

Techno-economic evaluation of biomass-to-fuels with solid-oxide electrolyzer

Jan Van Herle, François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Hanfei Zhang

Thermochemical biomass-to-fuel conversion requires an increased hydrogen concentration in the syngas derived from gasification, which is currently achieved by water–gas-shift reaction and CO2 removal. State-of-the-art biomass-to-fuels convert less than hal ...

Practical challenges in the development of photoelectrochemical solar fuels production

Sophia Haussener, Miguel Antonio Modestino

This article addresses the challenges presented by photoelectrochemical solar fuels technology in a discussion that begins with a functioning device and proceeds to the more fundamental science of its component parts. In this flow of discussion issues are ...

Strategies for Semiconductor/Electrocatalyst Coupling toward Solar-Driven Water Splitting

Xile Hu, Lichen Bai, Lei Liu

Hydrogen (H-2) has a significant potential to enable the global energy transition from the current fossil-dominant system to a clean, sustainable, and low-carbon energy system. While presently global H-2 production is predominated by fossil-fuel feedstocks ...
