The rapid depletion of fossil fuels in the last decade has negatively impacted the quality of the environment. This research exposes the simulation of two biorefinery scenarios to obtain high-value chemical products: ethanol (Scenario 1) and methanol, propylene, and ethylene (Scenario 2). These alternatives were analysed for the possible implementation of an eco-industrial park using heat integration analysis, safety profiles

As the shift towards renewable energy sources continues, new approaches for energy recovery from sewage sludge must be established. This paper explores the feasibility of implementing full-scale co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge with fruit biowaste through the synergetic effects obtained at the laboratory scale. The efficiency/stability of the process was studied for three hydraulic retention times. By using simple tools to evaluate the performance of the anaerobic digestion system, such as the specific methane indicator and the energy potential recovery indicator, it was shown that the shortest retention time of 13 days had the highest methane production and almost doubled the specific methane production, thus contributing to sustainable waste management and energy self-sufficiency of wastewater treatment plants.

Press hardening is an established process for producing high-strength, lightweight structural automotive parts, utilising roller hearth furnaces to heat metal sheets. It presents a non-negligible source of greenhouse gas emissions in part production processes. This paper investigates the ecological and economic advantages of induction as an alternative heating method and identifies break-even scenarios. Therefore, specific energy demands for various furnace and induction heating operating states are determined and applied to different energy system transition scenarios. It can be shown that while induction heating can be more energy efficient than furnace heating, its ecological and economic advantages are highly dependent on regional electricity-to-gas price ratios and electric energy emission factors. For high good-mass flows (0.5 kg/s) and 80% production capacity utilisation, an electricity-to-gas price ratio lower than 1.24 and an emission factor lower than 250 g CO2 /kWh are required.
冲压硬化是一种成熟的工艺,用于生产高强度,轻质结构汽车零件,利用辊底炉加热金属板。它是部分生产过程中不可忽视的温室气体排放源。本文研究了感应加热作为一种替代加热方法的生态和经济优势,并确定了收支平衡的情况。因此,确定了各种炉膛和感应加热运行状态下的具体能量需求,并将其应用于不同的能源系统转换场景。可以看出,虽然感应加热可以比炉加热更节能,但其生态和经济优势高度依赖于区域电气价格比和电能排放因子。对于高质量流量(0.5 kg/s)和80%的产能利用率,需要低于1.24的电气价格比和低于250 g CO2 /kWh的排放系数。

The depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels has increased the importance of carbon-neutral resources like biofuel and biodiesel. Biodiesel is a better fuel option than petrodiesel due to its excellent lubricity, non-toxic nature, and lack of sulphur. However, the excess production of glycerol is a challenge for biodiesel usage. This study investigates using an acetylation process with palladium on the activated carbon catalyst to convert glycerol into triacetin, a potential fuel additive for biodiesel blends. The study optimises the reaction parameters using response surface methodology to achieve high selectivity for triacetin. The study determined that the optimised parameters for achieving 96.64% glycerol conversion and 0.231% triacetin selectivity are 110 ˚C, a 1:10 glycerol -acetic acid mole ratio, and 0.718 wt% catalyst loading. Analysis of variance revealed that the reaction temperature significantly impacts glycerol conversion, while the glycerol-acetic acid mole ratio affects the selectivity of triacetin.
