The freight sector is expected to keep, or even increase, its fundamental role for the major modern economies, and therefore actions limit growing pressure on environment are urgent. use of electricity a option decarbonization transports; in heavy-duty segment, it can be implemented different ways: besides full electric-battery powertrains, used supply catenary roads, chemically stored liquid gaseous fuels (e-fuels). While current EU legislation adopts tailpipe Tank-To-Wheels approach, which...
As Europe faces the dual challenge of decarbonizing its energy sector while ensuring security, REPowerEU reinforces ambitious targets outlined in Green Deal, complementing "Fit for 55" package. This work analyses sustainable biomethane production Europe, with a specific focus on Italy, and conversion into fuels. Under light existing policy regulatory instruments, study explores innovative agro-energy chains, as vector producing aviation fuels (SAF) methanol maritime. Decentralized biomass...
The present work provides an analysis of the potential impact fossil-based Low Carbon Aviation Fuels (LCAF) for European aviation sector, with a time horizon to 2050. LCAF are crude-derived alternative kerosene, offering some Green House Gas (GHG) savings, and have been defined by ICAO as eligible fuels mitigating environmental aviation. A methodological framework evaluate EU technical production is developed, based on data crude utilization jet fuel in refineries, relevant carbon intensity...
Abstract The Paris COP21 held on December 2015 represented a step forward global GHG emission reduction: this led to intensify research efforts in renewables, including biofuels and bioliquids. However, addressing sustainable bioliquid routes value chains which can limit or reverse the ILUC (indirect land-use change effect) is of paramount importance. Given background condition, present study targets analysis modelling new integrated biomass conversion pathway produce renewable advanced...
Abstract Bioenergy and nutrition represent two key elements in maintaining health well‐being. is a form of renewable energy produced from organic materials, which can be used for generating power, while nutrition, on the other hand, related to ability food provide proper nutrients living beings factors that make up healthy diet. The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda has brought considerable attention importance security particularly under SDG2, concurrently highlighting need ensure...
