Most industries consume a large amount of energy to produce goods and to reduce the resultant CO2 emissions. We develop a systematic process integration framework for the optimal design and techno-economic performance analysis of energy supply and CO2 mitigation strategies. We first generate an...

A large number of research works were undertaken for the planning of sustainable electricity generation and CO2 mitigation (EGCM) infrastructure design under uncertainty. The typical methodologies assessed the performance of the problem under the variability of the uncertain parameters by...

In a power-generation system, power plants as major CO2 sources may be widely separated, so they must be connected into a comprehensive network to manage both electricity and CO2 simultaneously and efficiently. In this study, a scalable infrastructure model is developed for planning electricity...

The notion that individuals have an internal reference price against which they compare observed prices is well supported by several psychological theories. Empirically, several papers in the marketing literature, employing scanner panel data, have modeled the impact of reference prices on brand...

This study proposes a new concept called the cascade Rankine cycle, which recovers LNG (liquefied natural gas) cold energy for power generation, optimizes the cycle by investigating the effects of key parameters on its performance, and compares its thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency and...

A recently enforced international regulation states that a crude oil tanker must have on board and implement a volatile organic compounds (VOCs) management plan that is approved by the administration. There are few thorough investigations that have simultaneously considered the various aspects...

Republic of Korea is the ninth largest CO2 emission country in 2009 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). To mitigate the effect of CO2 on the climate change and global warming, Korea should reduce the anthropogenic CO2 emissions from sources such as power plants and iron works....
