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...

This review provides a comprehensive examination of carbon capture (CC) technologies, utilization and their integration with e-fuel production as pivotal factors in determining the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potenti...

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...

Shallow lakes are hotspots for carbon processing and important natural sources of methane (CH4)emission. Ebullitive CH4 flux may constitute the overwhelming majority of total CH4 flux, but theepisodic nature of ebullitio...

Um dos objetivos da política energética é a redução das emissões de CO2. Os biocombustíveis são uma das alternativas para o setor de transportes. O Brasil é o líder na produção de etanol extraído da cana-de-...

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 ...

Abstract Background Most households in developing countries like India are not able to afford to get the services of efficient energy for cooking and lighting. Therefore, they rely mostly on solid fuels (firewood, dung c...

Thorium and its compounds (carbides and nitrides) are being investigated as possible materials to be used as nuclear fuels for Generation-IV reactors. As a first step in the research of these materials under irradiation,...

g-C3N4/TiO2 nanocomposites seem to be promising materials for photocatalytic reductive applications such as water splitting and CO2 reduc-tion. The g-C3N4 is known as a metal-free semicon-ductor exhibiting a high reducti...

The development of efficient nonstoichiometric redox materials for solar-driven H₂O/CO₂ splitting via two-step thermochemical cycles requires optimization of redox thermodynamics, kinetics, and material stability. Th...

The reactivity of a heavy model molecule (quinolin-65, named Q65, a 2,3,7,8-dibenzopyrene derivative) over two different equilibrium fluidized catalytic cracking catalysts of the conventional and resid types was studied...

Energy security is an extremely important area of every country’s activity. The management of the energy sector affects immediate functioning of the entire economy, and further the state of the natural environment. Aft...

Photocatalysis uses semiconductors to convert sunlight into chemical energy. Recent reports have shown that plasmonic nanostructures can be used to extend semiconductor light absorption or to drive direct photocatalysis ...

No commercial airplane in service today is able to fly half great-circle distances over the globe and achieve the non-stop or the global range to any antipodal location on Earth. A subsonic jetliner has the optimum cruis...

Artificial photosynthesis of hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide (CO2) has the potential to provide renewable fuels at the scale needed to meet global decarbonization targets. However, CO2 is a notoriously inert molecule an...

Abstract Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) helps to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NO) emissions from diesel engines using catalytic materials made of thermally stable non-precious metals. A dual support SCR catalyst using iro...

Efforts to conserve fuel oil (BBM) promoted by the Indonesian government and many other countries are motivated by the fact that fossil fuel availability has decreased and environmental pollution continues to worsen. Str...

The aim of this work is to assess the risk of groundwater contamination associated with BTEX dissolution from fuels as a residual phase. Numerical simulations of sixty scenarios were carried out with the software HYDRUS ...

Abstract Background There is little evidence on the association between cooking with polluting fuels, particularly charcoal, and heart disease from low- and middle-income countries, which have the highest burdens of poll...

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a group of persistent carcinogenic pollutants whose transfer from air to soil via the atmospheric deposition represents a major chronic exposure pathwa...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is critical for credible climate decisions, although practice varies contextually. This review explains when to use attributional (ALCA) versus consequential (CLCA) LCAs, consolidating guidanc...

Third-generation biomass constitutes a renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels. This study evaluated the biomethane potential (BMP) of Ulva sp., Codium sp. and Undaria pinnatifida through anaerobic dig...

This article gives a holistic overview of the current CO2 reduction measures and analyses the effectiveness of measures that are feasible for implementation in the future. To achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement...

Reactions of cerium/praseodymium oxides under hydrogen atmospheres, and subsequently, carbon dioxide, involved in chemical looping reverse water–gas shift cycles (RWGS) at 500 ◦C were investigated by in-situ high- te...
