...this study, three feedstocks—wood, microalgae spirulina (Algae Sp.), and hydrolysis lignin were tested for sub-supercritical HTL at 350 and 400 °C through six batch-scale experiments. An alkali catalyst (K2CO3) was used with wood and hydrolysis lignin, while e (Algae Sp.) was liquefied without catalyst...

...applications where electrification is challenging. One such sector is fisheries, which heavily relies on diesel-powered vessels and equipment. Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis and transported to end users by truck or ship. Currently, hydrogen is transported in compressed form with low energy density...

...environmental quality, and the people’s wellbeing nexus is an essential part of meeting the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This is the focus of many stakeholders including researchers, urban developers and decision makers. The dependencies among energy and the people’s wellbeing...

...oxide catalysts, is known to volatilize from ZnO under high-temperature conditions, but little is known about Zn mobility and volatility in mixed oxides. Here, an array of ex situ and in situ characterization techniques (scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), transmission...

How climate-friendly is the urban development in your municipality? A new tool helps planners compare alternatives....

...nearby the Lofoten archipelago, one of the principal fishing grounds in Norway. The study considers the electrification from the power grid perspective and develops a methodology for predicting the future energy demand growth patterns from the fishing vessels, using publicly available data for fish deliveries...

The national energy and climate plans were introduced as a means to explain how each EU country will reach its energy-related goals, among others, to achieve the EU targets for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. Because the plans state each country's individualistic plan, they propose an uncoordinated...

...architecture, deployment models, and vulnerabilities in 5G standards. It highlights their impact on emergency services and emphasizes the need for security-by-design and systematic research to ensure reliable networks for critical users like police, fire brigades, and healthcare by 2030....
