The Well-To-Wheels (WTW) methodology is widely used for policy making in the transportation sector. In this paper updated WTW calculations are provided, relying on 2013 statistic data, carbon intensity (CI) of European electricity mix; detail provided consumed each EU Member State (MS). An interesting aspect presented calculation GHG content traded between Countries, affecting at national level. amount and CI imported a key aspect: Country importing from another with lower will lower, after...
The paper reviews recent research and development activities in the field of hydropower technology. It covers emerging advanced technologies to mitigate flow instabilities (active passive approach) as well magneto-rheological control techniques. Recent findings on are also presented, especially concerning fluid-structure interaction transient operating conditions. As a great number existing large-scale hydroelectric facilities were constructed decades ago using that now considered obsolete,...
This paper represents an expert view from Europe of future emerging technologies within the wind energy sector considering their potential, challenges, applications and technology readiness how they might evolve in coming years. These were identified as originating primarily academic sector, some start-up companies a few larger industrial entities. The following areas considered: airborne energy, offshore floating concepts, smart rotors, wind-induced harvesting devices, blade tip-mounted...
The well-to-wheel (WTW) methodology is widely used for policy support in road transport. It can be seen as a simplified life cycle assessment (LCA) that focuses on the energy consumption and CO2 emissions only fuel being consumed, ignoring other stages of vehicle’s cycle. WTW results are therefore different from LCA results. In order to close this gap, authors propose hybrid WTW+LCA useful assess greenhouse gas (GHG) profiles vehicles. proposed method (hybrid WTW+LCA) keeps main hypotheses...
Alternative fuel policies need accurate and transparent methods to find the embedded carbon intensity of individual refinery products. This study investigates different ways allocating greenhouse gases emissions deriving from refining upstream crude oil supply. Allocation based on mass, energy content, economic value and, innovatively, added-value, are compared with marginal calculated by CONCAWE's linear-programming model average EU refinery, which has been adopted as reference in...
The standard ISO 14044:2006 defines the hierarchical steps to follow when solving multifunctionality issues in life cycle assessment (LCA). However, practical implementation of such a hierarchy has been debated for twenty-five years leading different practices from LCA practitioners. first part this study discussed main where implemented differently and explored current peer-reviewed studies. A text-mining process was applied quantitatively assess 532 multifunctional case studies found...
This paper compares the results of technology mapping from bibliometric analysis and expert review to identify emerging solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The is based on "Tools for Innovation Monitoring" (TIM), a new software code developed by Joint Research Centre. With this text-mining set relevant keywords extracted through frequency corpus pertinent scientific publications. Keywords obtained quantitative TIM are tested against qualitative cognitive an international panel PV experts...
