Life Cycle and Cost Analysis of Synthetic Kerosene in Aviation

Given the enduring issues of human-induced climate change, the appeal of strategies aimed at reducing greenhouse gases has never been greater. CO2 is the most concerning greenhouse gas due to the large quantity already emitted into the atmosphere and the ongoing excessive emissions from anthropogenic activities. The transportation sector...

Determining operating parameters for Reverse Water Gas Shift reaction with respect to carbon formation and methanation for syngas production

CO2 is the major contributor of green houses gases in the atmosphere. Two notable branches that revolutionized the approach toward reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere are Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU). CCS has its shortcomings in the long run, a study from MIT shows that the united states have an adequate land...

Exploring The Potential Of Synthetic Fuels From CO2 And H2

The world needs to decarbonize, and that includes the transport sector, which accounts for almost a quarter of the GHG emissions. Electrification and hydrogen-powered transport are increasing significantly. But, a new category of hydrogen-based fuels (synthetic fuels) could be part of the solution as well. Synthetic fuels are fuels that are made...

From niche to market-an agent-based modeling approach for the economic uptake of electro-fuels (power-to-fuel) in the german energy system

The transition process towards renewable energy systems is facing challenges in both fluctuating electricity generation of photovoltaic and wind power as well as socio-economic disruptions. With regard to sector integration, solutions need to be developed, especially for the mobility and the industry sector, because their ad hoc...

Experimental Investigation on CO2 Methanation Process for Solar Energy Storage Compared to CO2-Based Methanol Synthesis

The utilization of the captured CO2 as a carbon source for the production of energy storage media offers a technological solution for overcoming crucial issues in current energy systems. Solar energy production generally does not match with energy demand because of its intermittent and non-programmable nature, entailing the adoption of storage...
