The aim of this study was the syngas production by the gasification of plastic waste (polyethylene polypropylene and terephthalate polyethylene). Ca Ce La Mg and Mn were used to promote the Ni/ZSM-5 catalyst in order to enhance the production of higher syngas yield. The modified catalysts can enhanced the reaction rate of the pyrolysis process and resulting in high syngas in the product yields. Especially cerium lanthanum promoted catalysts can enha Read More

The time-range of applicability of various energy-storage technologies are limited by self-discharge and other inevitable losses. While batteries and hydrogen are useful for storage in a time-span ranging from hours to several days or even weeks for seasonal or multi-seasonal storage only some traditional and quite costly methods can be used (like pumped-storage plants Compressed Air Energy Storage or energy tower). In this paper we aim to show tha Read More

The power-to-methane technology is promising for long-term high-capacity energy storage. Currently there are two different industrial-scale methanation methods: the chemical one (based on the Sabatier reaction) and the biological one (using microorganisms for the conversion). The second method can be used not only to methanize the mixture of pure hydrogen and carbon dioxide but also to methanize the hydrogen and carbon dioxide content of lo Read More

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have proven to be a promising energy conversion technology in various power applications and since it was developed it has been a potential alternative over fossil fuel-based engines and power plants all of which produce harmful by-products. The inlet air coolant and reactants have an important effect on the performance degradation of the PEMFC and certain power outputs. In this work a theoretical model Read More

Hydrogen when is blended with natural gas over time degrades the materials used for pipe transport. Degradation is dependent on the proportion of hydrogen added to the natural gas. The assessment is made according to hydrogen permeation risk to the integrity of structures adaptation of surveillance and maintenance of equipment. The paper gives a survey of HE and its consequence on the design and maintenance. It is presented in a logical s Read More

As renewable energy sources are spreading the problems of energy usage transport and storage arise more frequently. In order that the performance of energy producing units from renewable sources which have a relatively low efficiency should not be decreased further and to promote sustainable energy consumption solutions a living lab conception was elaborated in this project. At the pilot site the produced energy (by PV panels gas turbines/engin Read More

This study proposes a data-driven methodology for modeling power and hydrogen generation of a sustainable energy converter. The wave and hydrogen production at different wave heights and wind speeds are predicted. Furthermore this research emphasizes and encourages the possibility of extracting hydrogen from ocean waves. By using the extracted data from the FLOW-3D software simulation and the experimental data from the special test i Read More

Hydrogen has been at the centre of attention since the EU kicked-off its decarbonization agenda at full speed. Many consider it a silver bullet for the deep decarbonization of technically challenging sectors and industries but it is also an attractive option for the gas industry to retain and future-proof its well-developed infrastructure networks. The modelling methodology presented in this report systematically tests the feasibility and cost of different pip Read More

Energy transition will reshape the power sector and hydrogen is a key energy carrier that could contribute to energy security. The inclusion of sustainability criteria is crucial for the adequate design/deployment of resilient hydrogen networks. While cost and environmental metrics are commonly included in hydrogen models social aspects are rarely considered. This paper aims to identify the social criteria related to the hydrogen economy by using a s Read More

The transition from traditional petrol-based combustion engines to hydrogen-powered systems represents a promising advancement in sustainable and clean energy solutions. This review paper explores the intricacies of converting a conventional internal combustion engine to operate on hydrogen gas. Key topics include the performance limitations of hydrogen engines the role of water injection in combustion modulation and the investigation of direct injecti Read More
