TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of state-of-the-art naphtha cracking technologies and show that up to 20% savings on the current average process energy use are possible.

TL;DR: A wide range of options exist to reduce CO 2 emissions considerably as discussed by the authors, including calcination and combustion processes, from cement production, which accounts for about half of global carbon dioxide emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors of the article "Burden of proof: a comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100% renewable-electricity systems" claim that many studies of 100 % renewable electricity systems do not demonstrate sufficient technical feasibility, according to the criteria of the authors (henceforth "the authors").

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the total average energy demand per household in the Netherlands in 1990 was 240 GJ, of which 54% was indirect and the elasticity of the energy requirement with respect to income was found to be 0.63.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the energy use, CO2 emissions and production costs of methanol and Oxidative coupling routes with those of steam cracking routes and found that methane-based routes use more than twice as much process energy than state-of-the-art steam-cracking routes.
