This study examines the implications of fuel subsidy removal on the living standards of low-income households in Osun State, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was employed, and a sample of 500 respondents was select...

Information on fuel material is one of the basic inputs for fire management. The aim of this work was to generate a fuel model for the Complejo Fluvio-Literol del Rio Paraná (Paraná River Fluvio Littoral Complex, refer...

Designing an optimal departure trajectory for an airport can minimize fuel emissions within the surrounding airspace and noise perceived by nearby populations, which brings positive sociological and economic implications...

Abstract The article presents an interdisciplinary study examining the environmental and economic implications of introducing low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping. The main focus is on the comparison of alternative energ...

Traditional methods of biofuel production using vegetable oils and aliphatic alcohols have a number of disadvantages. A new method of transesterification of vegetable oils with alkyl acetates because they act as promoter...

The high population growth rate, the accelerated industrialization and unpredictability of oil prices in the world have considerably raised the energy demand which has enhanced the necessity of alternative and sustainabl...

Abstract This article proposes a simple and reliable Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch (DEED) model for a power system integrating Renewable Energy Sources (RES), including photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind energy. The...

BackgroundThe relationship between indoor fuel use and multisite body pain remains unclear. This study aims to explore the potential association between solid fuel use and multisite pain burden disorders (MPBD).MethodsTh...

Abstract Researchers face difficulties in studying the effects of driveline efficiency on car fuel economy via bench and road tests because of long working periods, high costs, and heavy workloads. To simplify the study ...

The ever-increasing production of natural gas has underscored the potential of methane-fueled solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as feasible energy conversion devices. Herein, we present an internal reforming catalyst consis...

Recent research has developed systems for the chemical looping (CL) gasification of biomass using iron (Fe)-based metal oxides as oxygen carriers (OCs). The present study constructed a CL fuel cell utilizing lignosulfona...

This study examines consumer protection concerning the quality of Pertamina’s fuel in the case of Pertamax adulterated with Pertalite, analyzed through the perspective of Wahbah Az-Zuhaili. The background of this resea...

This study investigates the contribution of the Mirt Improved Cookstove (ICS) on women's empowerment in Gedeb Asassa woreda, focusing on the role of RBF in promoting sustainable cooking technologies. Data from household ...

Water build-up has continued to be one of the leading causes of performance variability and loss of durability in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), especially at the high current density and transient operati...

The International Maritime Organization has been promoting energy-efficient operational measures to reduce ships' bunker fuel consumption and the accompanying emissions, including speed optimization, trim optimization, w...

When voyage report data is utilized as the main data source for ship fuel efficiency analysis, its information on weather and sea conditions is often regarded as unreliable. To solve this issue, this study approaches AIS...

Sensors installed on a ship return high quality data that can be used for ship bunker fuel efficiency analysis. However, important information about weather and sea conditions the ship sails through, such as waves, sea c...

This paper presents the analysis of the technical feasibility to use a photovoltaic system to supply the electrical demand on two referential commercial aircraft, Airbus A340-300 and Cessna Conquest 441. The methodology ...

Uganda, a land locked and net oil importing country, upward shift in the international oil price are normally matched with increase in the local consumer fuel prices. However, when there is a downward adjustment in the i...

The present study focuses on proposing various statistical models, such as linear regression (LR), nonlinear regression (NLR), and artificial neural network (ANN), to forecast the compressive strength of environmentally ...

Abstract A dual chamber microbial fuel cells was developed using biomass derived reduced graphene oxide (E-rGO) synthesized from Ensete ventricosum corm waste as an anode material for simultaneous bioelectricity generati...

This study aims to test the effectiveness of sawdust as an alternative fuel to replace coal in a 50 MW power plant in an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and have a negative impact on the environment. The use ...
