One step conversion of lignin from intact biomass to two phenol products, improving access aromatics and fuels.
Natural gas based hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage is referred to as blue hydrogen.
There is growing interest in hydrogen (H$_2$) use for long-duration energy storage a future electric grid dominated by variable renewable (VRE) resources. Modelling the role of H$_2$ as grid-scale storage, often referred "power-to-gas-to-power (P2G2P)" overlooks cost-sharing and emission benefits from using deployed production assets to also supply decarbonizing other end-use sectors where direct electrification may be challenged. Here, we develop generalized modelling framework...
Hydrogen is becoming an increasingly appealing energy carrier, as the costs of renewable generation and water electrolysis continue to decline. Developing scalable modeling decision tools for H <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> supply chain that fully capture flexibility various resources essential understanding overall cost-competitiveness use. Here, we develop a planning model determines least-cost mix generation,...
Expanding decarbonization efforts beyond the power sector are contingent on cost-effective production of energy carriers, like H2, with near-zero life-cycle carbon emissions. Here, we assess levelized cost continuous H2 supply (95% availability) at industrial-scale quantities (∼100 tonnes/day) in 2030 from integrating commodity technologies for solar photovoltaics, electrolysis, and storage. Our approach relies modeling least-cost plant design operation that optimize component sizes while...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a promising pathway to providing cleaner personal mobility. China provides substantial supports increase EV market share. This study an extensive analysis of the currently unclear environmental and health benefits these incentives at provincial level. EVs in have modest cradle-to-gate CO2 (on average 29%) compared conventional internal combustion engine (ICEVs), but similar carbon emissions relative hybrid electric vehicles. Well-to-wheel air pollutant assessment...
One of the global community's most significant contemporary challenges is need to satisfy growing energy demand, while simultaneously achieving very reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with production, delivery, and consumption energy. The sector transforming via convergence power, transportation, industrial sectors inter-sectoral integration. To assess level decarbonization achieved through this change, one needs study carbon footprint system as a whole. Here, we present...
The recent shale gas boom has transformed the energy landscape of United States. Compared to natural gas, resources contain a substantial amount condensate and liquids (NGLs). Many basin regions located in remote areas are lacking infrastructure distribute extracted NGLs other regions—particularly Gulf Coast, major processing region. Here we present transformation process that converts into liquid hydrocarbons, which easier transport from these basins than NGL or its constituents. This...
The European Union set a 2050 decarbonization target in the Paris Agreement to reduce carbon emissions by 90–95% relative 1990 emission levels. path toward achieving those deep targets can take various shapes but will surely include portfolio of economy-wide low-carbon energy technologies/options. growth intermittent renewable power sources grid mix has helped footprint electric sector. Under need for decarbonizing sector, we simulated system. We investigated role hydrogen future systems...
The increasing political momentum advocating for decarbonization efforts has led many governments around the world to unveil national hydrogen strategies. Hydrogen is viewed as a potential enabler of deep decarbonization, notably in hard-to-abate sectors such industry. A multi-modal, hourly resolved, linear programming model was developed assess infrastructure requirements low-carbon supply chain over large region. It optimizes deployment from 2025 up 2050 by assessing four years: 2025,...
Light-duty vehicles emit ∼20% of net US greenhouse gases. Deployment electric (EVs) can reduce these emissions. The magnitude the reduction depends significantly on EV charging patterns and hourly power grid variations. Previous studies either do not use data, or data from 2012 earlier. Since 2012, grids have undergone major emission-relevant changes, including growth solar ∼1 to generation in California, >30% coal countrywide. This study uses 2018 2019 (alongside charging, driving,...
Hydrogen can be valuable for deep decarbonization of electricity systems as well energy end-uses where direct is challenged. While most hydrogen supply chain analyses focus on storing compressed gas (CGH2) storage, storage with lower capital cost capacity such liquefied (LH2) and liquid organic carriers (LOHC) may provide a differentiated value system decarbonization. However, the latter have disadvantages (e.g., higher charge/discharge capacity, boil-off, high requirement...
The penetration of renewable power generation is increasing at an unprecedented pace. While the operating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions photovoltaic (PV) and wind are negligible, their upstream not. great challenge with deployment generators intermittent variable nature. Current electric systems balance these fluctuations primarily using natural fired plants. Alternatively, dynamics could be handled by integration energy storage technologies to store during availability discharge when...
The electrochemically mediated amine regeneration (EMAR) process presents an alternative route to the conventional thermal for carbon capture from a flue gas source. In this study, we conducted economic analysis on EMAR system postcombustion CO2 550 MWe power plant capturing 3.1 MtCO2 annually and mini steel mill with annual close 170 ktCO2. We followed recommendation of National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) 2010 report estimate cost avoided ([$/tCO2]). Detailed modeling...
