TL;DR: In this article, a detailed thermo-economic model considering different technological alternatives for thermochemical production of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) from lignocellulosic biomass is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, an impact assessment tool is developed for the environmental evaluation of potable water production, and the main source of impacts is shown to be electricity production for plant operation, and improvement levers are presented for impact reduction and for the objective comparison between alternative and conventional water treatment processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed thermo-economic model combining thermodynamics with economic analysis and considering different technological alternatives for the thermochemical production of liquid fuels from lignocellulosic biomass is presented.

TL;DR: The City Energy Analyzer (CEA) as discussed by the authors is a computational framework for the analysis and optimization of energy systems in neighborhoods and city districts, which integrates time-dependent methods for building energy performance simulation, conversion and storage technologies simulation, assessment of local energy potentials, bi-level energy systems optimization and multi-criteria analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, a process optimization method for the design of reverse osmosis (RO) processes is developed for a brackish water reverse oslosis (BWRO) desalination project, for which the optimal design is characterized depending on the economical conditions.
