We present a Python-based GIS model to analyze the environmental and financial impact of strategies to reduce heating-related CO(2)emissions of residential buildings. The city-wide implementation of three alternatives to natural gas are evaluated: high-temperature heating networks, low-temperature ...
The new technologies of microwave heating(Wang et al., 2020b; Zhao et al., 2016) and electrical heating (Zhao et al., 2021b; Li et al., 2018b) are considered as promising alternatives of thermal stimulation to hot water/steam injection to combine with depressurization for enhancing gas re...
The aim of the present study is to assess the system consequences of integration of biomass gasification with an existing natural gas combined cycle heat and power plant, the Rya NGCC CHP plant, in the municipal DH system of Göteborg. The different strategies for biomass gasification integration...
in addition to it having a negative environmental impact. As a result, our client wishes to move their business away from this resource for this application and towards electrically powered alternatives.
The Big Alternatives Energy studies say that the average U.S. household spends either $700 a year on natural gas or $1,700 a year on heating oil. To supplement their heat, they often use space heaters to supplement an inadequate or expensive heating system. Some of these heaters work when...
Alternatives to Traditional Boilers Radiant heating systems using heating boilers have long been employed in North America, and they are even more common in Europe and other parts of the world. A common innovation in Europe is thecombi-boiler,which supplies hot water for the household as well as...
Several tests were performed to study the influence of alternatives in the methodology on the simulated trends in the heating and cooling proxies: (a) Changing the calculation method of Degree-Days (UK vs. US) (cf. Supplementary Information SectionIIIa, Supplementary Figs7and8); (b) Changing ...
The early retirement of coal-fired power plants to achieve climate goals creates significant challenges for heating systems, especially in regions heavily reliant on coal-fired combined heat and power (CHP). While China has access to abundant heating alternatives, the effects of measures taken to me...
Indeed, the IEA [2] reported that the energy price crisis caused a massive wealth transfer from consumers to producers, resulting in consumers having to find alternatives to reduce their energy bills such as by increasing their demand for oil and coal. These alternatives were unusual among the ...
No closure or end date for this economic incentive was set, however, and no viable alternatives emerged. With incredible flexibility and speed, many heat generation plants transitioned to bio-mass, and the demand for bio-mass far outgrew the nationally available resources. Biomass is currently ...
