This article was originally published on 14th August 2019 and has been updated to reflect the latest industry research. Electrochemical fuel cells are a transformative innovation in sustainable energy, offering the potential to replace combustion engines with cleaner, more efficient systems. Among the various fuels explored for these systems, hydrogen (H2) has become the focus of research. This ...
Across all industries, energy-saving issues are taking center stage as there is a focus on reducing energy consumption to mitigate the impact the industrial sector has on energy consumption and subsequent emission of harmful greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide (CO2). Combined heat and power (CHP) system offers a way to reduce energy waste in the industry helping reduce costs and overall ...
These vapors can be condensed into liquid fuels or further processed to obtain specific chemicals. Gas and Liquid Collection: The gases produced during pyrolysis can be collected and used as a source of energy or further processed. The liquid fraction, often referred to as pyrolysis oil or bio-oil, can be separated and used as a feedstock for ...
However, establishing an on-farm anaerobic digestion plant that generates biogas from cattle slurry offers several benefits: It captures methane and converts it into a renewable source of energy that can be used to replace fossil fuels used for heating or as a source of electricity. ...
These plants can process a wide range of plastic materials, from single-use plastics to discarded packaging, transforming them into valuable resources.Revenue StreamsA plastic pyrolysis plant generates multiple revenue streams. ...
Pakistan produces over 60% of its total power using fossil fuels, such as gas and furnace oil. In the fiscal year 2021-22, the government paid nearly 95 billion rupees per month to purchase gas and furnace oil for electricity production. Such substantial expenditures on importing fossil fuels significantly impact ...
Can alternative fuels really reduce fossil fuel use? How much coal can be saved by the use of alternative fuels? Below, a Chinese company conducted an experiment of SRF alternative fuel used in industrial kilns, exploring "How much coal can be saved by the ...
The HGV industry clearly has to move away from using fossil fuels (as does everybody else). Currently, the main potential replacements for it are electricity and hydrogen. ...

Additionally, to continue taking global climate action, the U.S. plans to support Egypt's commitment to discontinue using GW generation by natural gas while implementing 10 GW of solar, wind energy and waste to energy. ...
The cost of these fuels, which are cheaper than the "raw materials", their abundance on the local market, the reduction of CO2 emissions, the preservation of resources, and the high thermal efficiency of these fuels, have made fossil fuels obsolete. ...
Like conventional fossil fuel plants, centralized, utility-scale renewable energy plants can generate up to 20+ megawatts (MW) of power. ...

Since 1973, studies have been started to find alternative solutions to fossil fuels. In order to preserve the balance of nature and due to the limited use of fossil fuels, energy has begun to be obtained from the wind and the sun. ...
The Part L Building Regulations cover the conservation of fuel and power of buildings. The objective of these regulations is to ensure that new buildings are energy efficient and that changes are made to existing buildings to conserve fuel and reduce carbon emissions. ...
Although biogas also contains carbon dioxide, it’s considered carbon-neutral because the carbon comes from plant matter and biomethane displaces fossil fuel use. Biogas also contains hydrogen sulfide, water vapor, and traces of other gases. Purifying the methane in biogas produces another type of natural gas, also known as biomethane, ...
Special to The Digest In the United States, efforts to replace fossil fuels with biofuels are gaining momentum, supported by growing public awareness, government programs and emerging waste-to-fuel technologies. ...
Where does all that water go and what role does it play in power generation? HOW POTABLE WATER IS USED IN POWER GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATION Approximately 90% of electricity generated in the U.S. is produced by thermoelectric power plants, including fossil fuel power generation, nuclear heat energy, and biofuels. ...
The goal is to create the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. This cannot happen without using much more hydrogen than at the moment because hydrogen is a zero-emission fuel when burned with oxygen. ...
The generated biogas is directly used in the plant’s existing boiler. This leads to a reduction in fossil fuel use and sharpened cost-efficiencies at a time they are most needed, due to the current Australia-wide drought. ...
Organic waste streams are digested by anaerobic bacteria under ideal controlled conditions in reactor tanks and turned into methane to be used as fuel for electric power generators or to replace fossil fuels in steam boilers and heaters on the production site. Companies in Asia, Africa, America, Australasia and Europe already ...
A value of 420 ppm is usually regarded as upper limit to keep a temperature rise below 2°C likely (Source: IPCC) The main reason of this growing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is the huge inflow of CO2 emissions caused by burning fossil fuels. Moreover, the oil prices have dropped 50% in the past two years which is an incentive to ...
