Hydropower Potential in Indonesia: Assessment of theoretical, technical and economic potential of hydropower

Indonesia has a severe problem of fossil fuel dependency, making it become one the world’s larger carbon emission contributor. At the same time, the growing population will increase the energy demand in the future. Thus, in order to meet the energy demand and decrease the carbon emission, the government together with PLN as the state electricity...

Techno-economic analysis of an industrial cluster with oxygen synergies

Because of the expected growing implementation of large scale water electrolysis, an apparent opportunity arises to implement systems in which the by-product oxygen is harnessed by using it as a raw material in another process. This is also known as an oxygen synergy, an example of industrial symbiosis.<br/>A procedure to design and evaluate the...

The decarbonisation of process heat in the German food and beverages industry: A study quantifying the techno-economic potential of High-Temperature Heat Pumps in the German food and beverages industry, the GHG emission abatement potential, and evaluating the economic and political framework conditions for industrial decarbonisation

Industrial decarbonisation has largely stagnated over the last years in Germany. A large share of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions stem from the combustion of natural gas for producing higher temperature process heat. High-Temperature Heat Pumps (HTHPs) are an emerging technology that can upgrade waste heat with electrical input to high...
