A life cycle assessment of OME (oxymethylene ether) synthesis from biomass-derived syngas as a diesel additive
Download2017-01-01
Mahbub, Nafisa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Kumar, Amit, Oestreich, Dorian, Arnold, Ulrich, Sauer, Jörg
The life cycle energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission performances of forest biomass-derived oxymethylene ether (OME) synthesis used as a diesel additive are analyzed in this study. OME, a new alternative liquid fuel, has great miscibility with conventional fuels like diesel. OME...

Energy balance and greenhouse gas emissions of production and sequestration of charcoal from agricultural residues
Download2016-01-01
Thakkar, Jignesh, Kumar, Amit, Ghatora, Sonia, Canter, Christina E.
Agricultural residues (wheat/barley/oat straw) can be used to produce charcoal, which can then be either landfilled off-site or spread on the agricultural field as a means for sequestering carbon. One centralized and five portable charcoal production technologies were explored in this paper. The...

Attard, Erica, Antoun, Sylvie, Hatefraad, Pedram, Dworkin, Seth B.
With the increasing concern of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, innovative solutions to produce energy via renewable sources are needed. Geothermal energy has the potential to provide heating and cooling to residential and commercial buildings, however, its implementation has been...
