TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a P-graph-based search algorithm to find feasible pathways in the methanation of carbon dioxide with hydrogen, which reduced the set of possible mechanisms from 31 billion to 71 possible pathways.
Abstract: The effects of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by closing anthropogenic cycles, and the methanation of carbon dioxide with hydrogen provides a promising option. Nevertheless, the reaction mechanism of this system is under discussion. The proposal of new pathways and the discussion of their feasibility can be structured with the application of P-graphs, to perform a combinatorially complete search of pathways in the first step of a kinetic study. By imposing constraints, the searching algorithm allows to compose feasible pathways. These constraints include mass balances and the existence of known intermediates. The search domain to find feasible pathways in the methanation of carbon dioxide can be reduced with the use of reaction blocks. No feasible pathways are lost in this process. The set of possible mechanisms have been reduced from 31 billion to 71 possible pathways, presented as an option to explain the reaction mechanism in this system.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A standardized visualisation framework for CE metrics is derived, which allows to compare individual metrics in a simple and illustrative way and provides guidance for the integration of the most complementary CE metrics and to facilitate further metrics development.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated and comparatively assessed smart energy systems to solve major global energyrelated issues in a sustainable manner, in order to be considered as smart and sustainable, the energy systems should use technologies and resources that are adequate, affordable, clean and reliable.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the circular economy concept in developing country context is provided, and a novel model is proposed by adopting Fuzzy Analytics Network Process (FANP) to quantify the priority weights of the sustainability indicators to provide guidelines for the industry stakeholders at different stages of industry cycle to transition toward the Circular economy.
Abstract: The concept of the circular economy has gained well-recognition across the world for the past decades. With the heightening risk of the impact of climate change, resource scarcity to meet the increasing world population, the need to transition to a more sustainable development model is urgent. The circular economy is often cited as one of the best solutions to support sustainable development. However, the diffusion of this concept in the industrial arena is still relatively slow, particularly in the developing country, which collectively exerts high potential to be the world's largest economies and workforce. It is crucial to make sure that the development of these nations is sustainable and not bearing on the cost of future generations. Thus, this work aims to provide a comprehensive review of the circular economy concept in developing country context. Furthermore, a novel model is proposed by adopting Fuzzy Analytics Network Process (FANP) to quantify the priority weights of the sustainability indicators to provide guidelines for the industry stakeholders at different stages of industry cycle to transition toward the circular economy. The results revealed that improvement in economic performance and public acceptance are the key triggers to encourage stakeholders for sustainable development. The outcomes serve as a reference to enhance the overall decision-making process of industry stakeholders. Local authorities can adopt the recommendations to design policy and incentive that encourage the adoption of circular economy in real industry operation to spur up economic development, without neglecting environmental well-being and jeopardizing social benefits.
