CO2 absorption into 4-diethylamino-2-butanol solution in a membrane contactor under wetting or non-wetting conditions
Li L., Pan Z., Baena-Moreno F., Borhani T., (Corresponding) Zhang Z.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
Natural gas produces a large amount of carbon emissions in the process of mining and processing, on the one hand from the energy use of processing facilities, on the other hand from the way that natural gas is extracted. The adoption of appropriate carbon capture technology is of urgency. The...Read more
Calculating Carbon Footprint in ports through a new Standard Tool: case study applications
Azarkamand S., Ferré G., (Corresponding) Darbra R.
Topic:
Environmental impact of maritime transport
One of the main environmental problems in ports is Climate Change and its consequences. Since 1979, many international organizations have been working to control Climate Change. A literature review and a practical research were carried out to set up the basis to create a tool. These studies showed...Read more

ENERGY TRANSITION IN WEST MACEDONIA. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC ATTITUDE OF THE LOCAL SOCIETY?
Boulogiorgou D., Kondili E., Triantafyllou A., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
In view of the EU decarbonization policy implementation, the Greek government has recently decided the permanent retirement of lignite based thermal power stations (TPS) of West Macedonia, being in operation since the 70’s. For the last fifty years, the Public Power Corporation has undertaken the...Read more

Grey Forecasting Models Optimized by Firefly Algorithm for Natural Gas Consumption Prediction in Turkey
Ozcan T., (Corresponding) Konyalioglu A., Beldek B.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Natural Gas is assumed to have a vital role as an energy source in all countries, serving as the primary fuel for industries, homes, and various sectors. The forecasting of natural gas consumption is very crucial for efficient energy management and the formulation of appropriate policies related to...Read more

Evaluation of solid sorbents for acid flue gas emissions treatment
(Corresponding) Ravina M., Cerutti A., Marotta E., Zanetti G., Panepinto D., Ruffino B., Zanetti M.
Topic:
Air pollution
Removal of acid gases from exhaust emissions of industrial applications (SOx, HCl, HF) still represents a challenge for many sectors, in particular for waste to energy facilities. In dry absorption processes, the solid reagent (typically Ca(OH)2 or NaHCO3) is injected countercurrent to the gas in a...Read more
