Forecast of biofuel production and consumption in top CO2 emitting countries using a novel grey model
TL;DR: In this article, a grey forecasting model, EGM (1,1,α,θ), was proposed to forecast biofuel production, consumption, and self-sufficiency in these top CO2 emitting countries using a novel grey model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment of power-generation systems based on biomass integrated gasification combined cycles
TL;DR: In this article, a life cycle assessment (LCA) of eight biomass integrated gasification combined cycle (BIGCC) systems with different technology options has been performed to date, which examines technical alternatives of biomass gasification, syngas combustion, and CO2 emission control.

Fuel flexible gasification with an advanced 100 kW dual fluidized bed steam gasification pilot plant
Florian Benedikt,J.C. Schmid,Josef Fuchs,Anna Magdalena Mauerhofer,Stefan Müller,Hermann Hofbauer +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present experimental results carried out at an advanced 100 kWth dual fluidized bed steam gasification pilot plant from nine single test runs, showing that various product gas qualities were generated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of deep geothermal energy and woody biomass conversion pathways in urban systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology to assess the potential for integrating deep geothermal energy and woody biomass in an urban energy system, where the city is modeled in its entirety as a multi-period optimization problem with the total annual cost as an objective, assessing as well the environmental impact with a Life Cycle Assessment approach.

AMPL: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming
Robert Fourer,Brian W. Kernighan +1 more
TL;DR: An efficient translator is implemented that takes as input a linear AMPL model and associated data, and produces output suitable for standard linear programming optimizers.
IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation
TL;DR: The Working Group III Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) presents an assessment of the literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of the contribution of six renewable energy sources to the mitigation of climate change as mentioned in this paper.

AMPL : a modeling language for mathematical programming
Robert Fourer,Brian W. Kernighan +1 more
TL;DR: AMPL as mentioned in this paper is a language designed to make the optimization of large-scale mathematical programs easier and less error-prone than traditional linear programming optimizers, and it can be extended to more general mathematical programs that incorporate nonlinear expressions or discrete variables.

Life cycle assessment of hydrogen production via electrolysis – a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed twenty-one studies that address the LCA of hydrogen production technologies, a majority of them employing electrolytic technologies, and concluded that electrolysis using wind or hydropower generated electricity is the best hydrogen production technology compared to those using conventional grid electricity mix or fossil fuel feedstocks.

Biofuels, facts, fantasy, and feasibility
TL;DR: Reliable evidence suggests that the net energy gain of liquid biofuels, derived either from algae or terrestrial crops, is either very modest or non-existent and will therefore bring about little or no sparing of carbon dioxide emissions.
