The state’s dependence on the supply of natural gas from external sources requires legislative measures to be taken to protect customers from the negative effects of political and economic events affecting the state’...

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...

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...

Lack of access to clean cooking is one dimension of energy poverty that has called the attention of many international organizations and policymakers, due to the relevance of cooking, as an energy service, in the satisfa...

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...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

Against the global backdrop of accelerating climate change and the urgent need for energy transition, understanding the role of protected areas in shaping renewable energy consumption has become increasingly important. U...

Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are pivotal in addressing the escalating energy and environmental challenges of hot climates, where extreme cooling demands and reliance on fossil fuels intensify carbon footprints. T...

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 ...

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 ...

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,...

"The renewed concern for the care of the environment has led to lower emissions of greenhouse gases without sacrificing modern comforts. Widespread proposal focuses on energy produced from renewable sources and its subse...

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...

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...

La digitalización de todas las cosas, piedra angular de las soluciones que promueve el pensamiento mainstream para abordar la crisis socioambiental, es al menos cuestionable. Si para producir electricidad se recurre a l...

En los últimos años las alteraciones del sistema climático de la Tierra se han intensi!cado con consecuencias cada vez más graves e irreversibles para los ecosistemas y las personas que viven en ella. La problemátic...

La creciente preocupación mundial por la escasez de combustibles fósiles, el aumento de los requerimientos energéticos y la protección del ambiente han llevado a la búsqueda de materias primas alternativas. En este...

The increasing focus on renewable energy sources presents a viable alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels, with solar energy gaining particular attention. This research aims to identify and zone areas suitable for the...

Abstract As energy crisis and environment pollution all around the world threaten the widespread use of fossil fuels, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles are explored as an alternative to the conventional gasoline powe...

Abstract. The pumping activity permanently carried out by the heart requires a constant energy supply that is derived mainly from fatty acids and, to a lesser extent, from glucose and lactate. The Krebs cycle plays a cen...

The combustion dynamics and characteristics of dense iron–ethanol slurry droplets containing 30 wt% Fe (in both micron- and nano-sized forms) and Fe-doped Al/Fe2O3 thermites containing 5 wt% Fe (in both micron- and nan...
