Studies show that the growth of corn ethanol production in the USA could lead to the extensive transformation of native forests and grasslands into bioenergy crops on a worldwide level, particularly in countries such as Brazil, where established crops like soybeans may be displaced (Miyake et al....
The most common method of fish drying throughout history has been OSD, where the fish is dried in the open air11. This method presents a risk due to many contaminated resources from sand-laden winds, rain, animals, harmful insects, dust, and soil. The OSD process is difficult because air...
That energy can be utilized in Pakistan and common neighbor Afghanistan to meet the energy crisis. Along with electricity, these Central-Asian states are looking for market access to their fossil fuels which can also be met by energy export by producing less-expensive energy generation through ...
By selecting an appropriate bed material, higher temperatures or pressures can be used in the gasifier without issues. Common bed materials used in biomass gasification are low-cost natural minerals. Nickel catalysts are the most widely studied non-metallic catalysts for biomass gasification gas ...
Flat plate collectors (FPC) and evacuated tubular collectors (ETC) are the two most common types. While ETC are more efficient than FPC at higher temperatures, they are also more expensive (Danish Energy Agency 2020). FPC with an assumed efficiency of 45% is considered in this study not ...
In this respect, the effect of change of production capacity on the economic feasibility has also been assessed for each technology option using total investment cost, unit production cost and NPV. In addition, the effect of the possible change of market values of biodiesel selling price and ...
The three most common approaches to energy system modelling include: optimization (the use of linear programming to either maximize or minimize a feature; to some extent, the realized system design is endogenous to the modeller); simulation (a computer simulates operation of an energy system in ...

the study established that the suggested, small-scale WT for an EV-charging station would be technically possible and economically viable as a source of renewable energy using 5 kW WTs under the condition of using it at a high elevation to compensate for the low wind speeds common to Malaysia...
