Our calculations indicate that even an ideal catalytic process needs to be pow- ered by electricity emitting less than 0.2 kg of CO2 per kWh to achieve a net reduction in CO2. We conclude that hybrid processes combining thermocatalysis and electrocatalysis are promising opportunities to reduce CO2...

For Electricity, we set a normative DLS threshold as 100 percent of the population has access to electricity in all countries. The data on access to electricity (% of population) is from the World Bank51. Then we apply the emissions intensity of the Electricity sector (CO2Mt per dollar) b...
For example, [2] examined the use of a 40 m2 2.1 kWp monocrystalline SPV roof system generating 1720 kWh of electricity per year for 25 years in the UK. The total embodied CO2e is reported as 4500 kg or 300 kg/m2 and the kgCO2e/FU is 0.105, see Table 4. Should this ...
The current CO2 emissions scale (Gton) magnitude is 5–6 orders greater than that of utilization (Mton). CO2 utilization should focus on its massive consumption, application of sustainable technologies, low-C energy sources and long-lasting products. CO2
These HHV, carbon content, and efficiency values are used to estimate the CO2 emission factor per unit of electricity (kWh) for each type of coal using the following relationship (The Engineering Toolbox, 2015):(1)EFCO2,PP=cfhf×CCO2Cm×1Enetwhere: EFCO2,PP = power plant CO2 emission ...

electricity’s $0.12 (in my part of the world) — or half the cost of electricity. But, with an EV’s miles per kWh nearly 4 times better than an equivalent gasoline vehicle, their energy cost per mile is still going to be better. As battery technology improves, I th...
