Saltwater a viable source of Energy for Sustainable Rural Development
(Corresponding) Roohul Abad K., El Morabet R., Al Mesfer M., Amadur Rahman K.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Energy is the base for development in modern age. A sustainable renewable energy source is needed to overcome the requirement of special conditions and infrastructure for the development of rural areas. Saltwater is available in abundance and the energy can be harnessed directly with ease. The...Read more
Regional Variability and Future Trends in Carbon Footprints of Electric Vehicles in China based on THEMIS Model
(Corresponding) Hertwich E., Wu Z., Wolfram P., (Corresponding) Wang C., Sun X., Sun F.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
This study analyses how carbon footprints of electric vehicles (EVs) in China vary across regions and how they may evolve with power decarbonisation. It is understood that carbon footprints of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) depend largely on electricity mixes, but few studies have quantified...Read more

Studies on the CO2 adsorption onto coal fly ash zeolites at elevated pressures
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Zgureva D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Coal fly ash zeolites (CFAZs) of Na-X type were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted double stage fusion-hydrothermal synthesis from lignite coal fly ash at two different fusion temperatures 550 and 800 C. The detailed surface analyses were performed experimentally using N2 physisorption technique and...Read more
Comparative evaluation between new construction and refurbishment of existing buildings with the exploitation of their Embodied Energy and Carbon Footprint
(Corresponding) KONDILI E., KALDELLIS I., ENTMONS A., PETROVITS N.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
On a global basis, buildings consume about 60% of raw materials per weight and almost 1/3 of the global energy consumption quantities. For many years the most important issue determining the sustainability of a building has been the energy consumed during its operation. However, recently a trend...Read more
