This work reviews the advantages and disadvantages of using mineral wastes for CCS and their potential in CO2 abatement, highlighting the potential applications and scenarios. This study indicates that a variety of inorganic waste materials such as pulverised fuel ash, municipal solid waste ash,...

As electricity networks are being transformed in order to enhance their flexibility and ability to adapt to low-carbon energy sources, there is more emphasis on demand-side management. The electricity demand can be modelled based on the bottom-up approach. The UK Time Use Survey 2000 data are...

A novel method has been designed to obtain the optimum community energy storage (CES) systems for end user applications. The method evaluates the optimum performance (including the round trip efficiency and annual discharge), levelised cost (LCOES), the internal rate of return and the levelised...

This report is intended to review existing photocatalytic reactors as used in research and commercial applications. The guiding principles of effective reactor design are discussed, stressing the challenges faced by design teams. An account of specific reactor designs is given, highlighting...

This paper presents the study of the novel thermoelectric heat pipe heat pumping system. Bent heat pipes with sintered powder wicks were utilized in a configuration which used centrifugal forces, due to rotation, to enhance heat transfer. The revolving heat pipes worked both as a fan and as a...

Domestic hot water (DHW) in the UK accounts for ∼7.5% of all energy use. For manufacturers of heating and hot water appliances to be in a position to respond to patterns of demand a full understanding of the effect of user-defined DHW profiles, different DHW systems and heating technologies...

"This book shows that islands represent great opportunity for demonstrating energy solutions, offering various advantages as laboratory for studying 100% renewable energy sources, can be a great source for export to the mainland. It provides a great understanding of current status in islands...

The resource nexus: a new approach / Raimund Bleischwitz, Holger Hoff, Catalina Spataru, Ester van der Voet, Stacy D. VanDeveer -- The wider environmental angle: Natural capital, ecosystem services, and biodiversity - resolving complexity and resilience issues / Kaysara Khatun and Gloria...
