Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of second generation biofuel technologies.

TL;DR: The biochemical route, being less mature, probably has a greater cost reduction potential than the thermo-chemical route, but here a wider range of synthetic fuels can be produced to better suit heavy truck, aviation and marine applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Review of CO2 Capture by Absorption and Adsorption

TL;DR: In this article, the operation of the chemical absorption process is reviewed, together with the use of absorbents, such as the ionic liquid, alkanolamines and their blended aqueous solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ammonia for power

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight previous influential studies and ongoing research to use this chemical as a viable energy vector for power applications, emphasizing the challenges that each of the reviewed technologies faces before implementation and commercial deployment is achieved at a larger scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

The calcium looping cycle for large-scale CO2 capture

TL;DR: The reversible reaction between CaO and CO2 is an extremely promising method of removing CO2 from the exhaust of a power station, generating a pure stream of CO2 ready for geological sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Public policies against global warming: a supply side approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the remaining policy options against global warming from an intertemporal supply-side perspective, and discuss how suppliers feel threatened by a gradual greening of economic policies in the Kyoto countries that would damage their future prices, thus accelerating global warming.
