Perspectives on Taiwan’s Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions

Climate Stabilization at 2°C and Net Zero Carbon Emissions

The goal to stabilize global average surface temperature at lower than 2°C above pre-industrial level has been extensively discussed in climate negotiations. A number of publications state that achieving this goal will require net anthropogenic carbon emissions (defined as anthropogenic emissions minus anthropogenic sinks such as carbon capture and sequestration and reforestation) to be reduced...

Optimization of Syngas Production Systems Subject to Almost Net-Zero CO2 Emissions

This work describes two different configurations of syngas production processes using a combination of steam methane reforming (SMR) and dry reforming of methane (DRM). The ideal SMR+DRM process ensures the maximum product yield, the heat-integrated SMR+DRM process fulfills the maximum heat recovery, and the stand-alone SMR+DRM process effectively suppress net CO2 emissions. Through kinetic mod...

Analysis and Optimization using Renewable Energies to Get Net-Zero Energy Building for Warm Climate

Due to low energy price, economic optimization of consumption has no justification for users in Iran. Nowadays, the issue of ending fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gases and the main role of building in consumption of considerable amount of energy has drawn the focus of global researches to a new concept called net zero energy building. In this study, modeling, simulation and energy anal...

Net CO2 Emissions from Global Photovoltaic Development

Zero-overhead Pr/T-Net execution

Petri Nets and higher order versions like Predicate Transition Nets (Pr/T-Nets) are very suitable for modeling event-oriented discrete and even parallel systems. Obviously, the next step is to implement the system code out of this model specification. Therefore, very efficient code has to be generated and a highly overhead free run-time environment is required. We propose a very tight integrati...
