Durability of cement mortars and concretes exposed to biological attack as one of the sustainability parameter – a correlation analysis
(Corresponding) Ondrejka Harbulakova V., Estokova A., Smolakova M., Luptakova A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Among the pillars of the sustainability, the aspect of prolongation of life of constructions has to be involved. Focus on sustainability of construction leads to study of durability of building materials. Phenomenon called biocorrosion, existing mainly in concrete sewer systems, agricultural...Read more
Thermo-physical properties of agricultural residues for syn gas production using thermo-gravimetric analysis
(Corresponding) kumar p.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The thermal degradation behaviour and the activation energy can be integrated utilized to understand the behaviour and constituent of biomass degradation rate prior to gasification. Thermophysical properties of agricultural residues in order to facilitate its further processing and utilization for...Read more
Numerical simulation of CO2-brine-rock interactions on CO2 sequestration in Shihezi Formation of Ordos Basin in China
(Corresponding) Liu B., Li Z., Fu X.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the best way of reducing carbon emissions under existing technological conditions, is attracting more and more attention. Although experiments can explore chemical process of CO2 sequestration, it is limited in time scale. CO2 geological storage will last...Read more

Mass and energy balances of sewage sludge pyrolysis in a lab rotary kiln
(Corresponding) Mendoza L., Gómez A., Rincón S.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The aim of this work is to study the influence of the main parameters of sewage pyrolysis in a rotary kiln on the product distriburion and energy balances. An indirectly heated rotary kiln at a laboratory scale was used (4 kg/h). An increase in the final temperature causes the reduction of the...Read more

Support Structure Suitability for Offshore Wind Farms Development in Greece based on a Sustainable Site-Selection Framework
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Site-selection and spatial planning form a crucial step toward the successful development of Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs). Deployment of wind turbines in different water depths has raised the issue of selection of the most suitable support structures. In this work, a well-structured site-selection...Read more

Fine dust impact by wood energy of a structured oil heating replacement in Luxembourg – Possibilities, pathways and impacts
(Corresponding) Wern B., Noll F., Zheng Y.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
Heating and cooling needed in 2015 the half of final energy consumption in EU and is the biggest energy sector in EU 28. Often, the energy supply is provided by petroleum products and has to be transformed into low greenhouse gas supply according the agreements of the Paris follow-up-process. This...Read more

Gas mixture candidates for SF6 replacement in medium voltage switchgear: Analysis and modeling of the filling episodes
(Corresponding) Espinazo A., Lombraña J., Alonso M., Alonso R., Izcara J., Izagirre J., Pereda-Ayo B.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
A more environmentally friendly replacement for SF6 must be found for medium voltage switchgear, as a change in European regulations will come into force soon. The mixing process of alternative binary and ternary gas mixtures is studied, which are made up of the hydrofluoroolefin HFO-1336mzz(E) (...Read more

Technological solutions for giving a new life to power plants of alternative energy: social, economic, and environmental assessment of end of life scenarios
(Corresponding) Ambrosino C., Giaquinto D., Maselli G., Nesticò A., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The resources on the planet are not unlimited and special attention has been paid to alternative energies in recent years.
Alternative (or renewable) energy are all those energy sources that do not come from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). To date, wind and solar energy are the main...Read more
