The growing rate of electricity generation from renewables is leading to new operational and management issues on the power grid because generated exceeds local requirements transportation or storage capacities are inadequate. An interesting option that under investigation by several years opportunity use renewable surplus electrolyzers split water into its component parts, with hydrogen being directly injected natural gas pipelines for both transportation. This innovative approach merges...
Natural and renewable sources of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), also referred to as "biogenic" sources, are being increasingly investigated, they generated from a number waste in particular those the food industry. The first obvious application biogenic is production cement, where CaCO3 represents raw material for clinker. Overtime, other more added-value applications have been developed filling modification properties polymer composites, or development biomaterials, it possible transform into...
Abstract Hydrogen and regional energy infrastructure are significant for the European Green Deal was focus of SuperP2G research Project (Synergies Utilising renewable Power Regionally by means to Gas). Five national projects (Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy) cooperated investigate power-to-gas feasibility. The crisis due war in Ukraine peaked during project. demand green hydrogen increased as natural gas reduced. In 2022, cost blue 9.5–12.6 €/kg. Higher electricity prices...
In this work, the characteristic structure of keratin extracted from two different kinds industrial waste, namely sheep wool and chicken feathers, using sulfitolysis method to allow film deposition, has been investigated. The structural microscopic properties have studied by means scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force (AFM), infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Following this, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis for intermediate filaments performed. results...
To inject green hydrogen (H2) into the existing natural gas (NG) infrastructure is one way to decarbonize European energy system. However, asset readiness necessary be successful. Preliminary analysis and experimental results about compatibility of mixtures (H2NG) with actual grids make scientific community confident feasibility. Nevertheless, specific technical questions need more research. A significant topic debate impact H2NG on performance state-of-the-art fiscal measuring devices,...
New technological solutions are required to control the impact of increasing presence renewable energy sources connected electric grid that characterized by unpredictable production (i.e., wind and solar energy). Energy storage is becoming essential stabilize when a mismatch between demand occurs. Among available solutions, Power Hydrogen (P2H) one most attractive options. However, despite potential, many barriers currently hinder P2H market development. The literature reports general...
Among renewable energy sources, the electrical generation at urban level from micro-wind turbines has not yet disclosed its potential. The increasing spread of may promote only decentralized energy, but also helps to achieve reductions in emission greenhouse gases (GHGs) and support transition transport system electrification. However, one barriers for diffusion settlements is difficulty estimate feasibility based on local wind resource, which highly site-specific less predictable than other...
Optimizing the hydrogen value chain is essential to ensure market uptake in replacing traditional fossil fuel energy and achieve system decarbonization next years. The design of new plants infrastructures will be first step. However, wrong decisions would result temporal, economic losses and, worst case, failures. Because huge investments are expected, decision makers have assisted for its success. no tools available optimum geographical location power gas (P2G) (P2H) plants, geographic...
Hydrogen has been identified as an essential energy carrier for a future low-carbon economy. However, recent studies have highlighted the indirect impact of hydrogen emissions on climate change, emphasizing necessity quantifying emissions. It is within this framework that NHyRA project being carried out. The European consortium 14 entities aims to assess potential current and throughout its entire chain value (from production end uses), develop methods detect measure these provide inventory...
Hydrogen could play a crucial role in achieving climate neutrality by serving as an energy carrier for renewable sources, offering alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, researchers are investigating the impact of hydrogen emissions, its leakage into atmosphere poses concern due potential indirectly influence methane’s atmospheric lifetime and thereby extending greenhouse effect. Therefore, minimising emissions would reduce any environmental while enhancing safety...
Among the available solutions for building heating and cooling, district (DH) cooling (DC) systems are considered some of best options since they can ensure a better control pollutant emissions greater efficiency than individual systems. Nevertheless, improvements needed to increase their sustainability reliability. The so-called “low temperature heating” (LTDH) concept has been introduced in recent years an attempt (i) reduce distribution heat losses through decrease DH network, (ii) favor...
The revamping of existing high temperature district heating systems with low solutions will ensure a better usage primary energy thanks to the reduction thermal losses through networks and possibility use grade enthalpy heat for scope, including renewables waste heat. However, several criticalities are present that make evolution from 3rd 4th generation not immediate. The paper aims identify general technological non-technological barriers in traditional into ones, particular focus on...
The need to remove deposited material from water basins is common and has been shared by many ports channels since the earliest settlements along coasts rivers. Dredging, most widely used method sediment deposits, a reliable wide-spread technology. Nevertheless, dredging only able restore desired depth but without any kind of impact on causes sedimentation so it cannot guarantee navigability over time. Moreover, operations have relevant environmental economic issues. Therefore, there growing...
Sedimentation is the natural process of sediment transportation and deposition in quiescent water conditions. can affect functionality ports, harbours navigation channels by reducing depth, making difficult, if not impossible. Different solutions are available to guarantee infrastructure against sedimentation, with maintenance dredging being most widely adopted. Alternative technologies for have been developed tested reduce environmental concerns related operations. Among other solutions,...
