Due to high energy efficiency and zero emissions, some believe fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) could revolutionize the automobile industry by replacing internal combustion engine technology, and first boom in China. However, hydrogen infrastructure is one of the major barriers. Because different H2...

Life-cycle fossil primary energy consumption (FPEC) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity of nine types of dominant secondary energy (SE) pathways for China in 2010 are calculated with iterative methods, using the TLCAM (Tsinghua Life-cycle Analysis Model). Three major types of GHG (CO2,...

In this paper, the behavior of CO2 transmission in a micro direct methanol fuel cell (μDMFC) is investigated through both simulations and experiments. A model is built to describe the change of CO2 volume fraction in the anode channel under different operation parameters (e.g., current density,...

Industrial parks are the economic engines for many China regions, but they also consume a great deal of energy and emit greenhouse gases. However, few empirical studies have examined these special communities. We selected SIP (Suzhou Industrial Park) as a case study. Carbon emissions from SIP...

In this paper, the response surface methodology is applied to optimize the operating conditions of μDMFC (micro direct methanol fuel cell). Three operating parameters, the methanol flow rate, the methanol concentration and the cell temperature are considered in this study, and the ranges of...
