“The solar equity gap is a serious problem in disadvantaged communities, in part because of income inequalities, but also because residential solar isn’t usually practical for people who don’t own their homes,” said Ram Rajagopal, senior author of the study and associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and of electrical ...
In a Concordia-led study published in the journal Energies, researchers from the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science present a hybrid method that integrates multiple types of models. ...
This topic focuses on developing the ability to create, understand, and use climate-adjusted future weather data to calibrate the assumptions of future loads and resource potentials, environmental conditions for engineered systems, and piloting the use of climate-calibrated data in real world power sector analytical processes.This opportunity builds on earlier ...
By Lois Yoksoulian, Physical Sciences Editor, University of Illinois News Bureau Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have successfully demonstrated efficient geothermal heat storage while simultaneously repurposing an abandoned oil and gas well.A new study, led by civil and environmental engineering professor Tugce Baser, is the first field ...
With a $6.65 million Department of Energy grant, microgrid design and engineering support from Schneider Electric, and collaboration with SCE to ensure a smooth transition between grid and off-grid electricity, these innovative homes are now available to the public. ...
Perovskite on CI(G)S tandem is an all-thin-film PV technology with very high efficiency potential (greater than 30% efficiency)- the best recorded efficiency in tandem materials in the consortium currently up to 27,3% for the tandem cells*. Upcoming Academic Workshop will focus on life cycle assessment and techno-economic sustainability evaluations for the tandem perovskite/CI(G)S solar ...
In a virtual panel discussion this month on resilient energy infrastructure co-hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology's (Georgia Tech) Strategic Energy Institute and School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Mansoor said "blaming one energy source is a red herring." ...
sonnen recently announced a research collaboration with Stanford University's Sustainable Systems Lab (S3L) within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to deploy sonnen's intelligent energy storage hardware and load management software in 15 Fremont-area solar-powered homes and in a commercial agricultural facility in El Nido, California. ...
Like in other countries the UK has an incentive to promote the production of renewable green gas, currently we know this incentive as the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive). This is soon to take a different name under new reforms coming March 2021. The Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) is an incentive to increase the proportion of green gas in the National Gas grid, like the RHI. It supports the ...
The system of transportation and production for biocrude -- from pipes to refineries -- is already in place, said Diane Kim, a marine biologist at the USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, but the industry has been limited by the inability to produce and harvest enough plants, algae and other organic material to turn into fuel. ...
To get a more realistic picture, Lindner commissioned a series of tests with two different shredding solutions at the prestigious Department of Environmental and Energy Process Engineering of the Montanuniversitaet in Leoben, Austria in May 2017. ...
Using the results from the RICE Tool, Global Compact Network Singapore can assist first-time reporters in producing a simple sustainability report that meets Singapore Exchange’s regulatory requirements.
