Almost all clean hydrogen that is used in industry made by cogenerating low-cost and other commodities. We propose a framework to make the world's from cogeneration processes.

In the perspective of increasing the share of renewable energies to mitigate global warming and to respond to fossil resources depletion, the use of geothermal resources for the polygeneration of energy services has gained interest and is expected to know an important development in the future. Some of the major issues linked with the use of geothermal energy concern the increase of the efficie...

The complexity of the modern engineering systems besides the need for realistic considerations when modeling their availability and reliability render analytic methods very difficult to be used. Simulation methods, such as the Monte Carlo technique, which allow modeling the behavior of complex systems under realistic time-dependent operational conditions, are suitable tools to approach this pro...

Hydrogen produced without carbon emissions could be a useful fuel as nations look to decarbonize their electricity, transport, and industry sectors. Using the iodine–sulfur (IS) cycle coupled with nuclear heat source is one method for producing hydrogen use of fossil fuels. An economic dispatch model was developed nuclear-driven IS system determine sale prices that would make such profitable. T...

Sustainable economic development requires the efficient production and use of energy; combined heat and power (CHP) systems contribute to both of these goals. While a recent executive order set a national goal of 40 GW of new industrial CHP by 2020, the deployment of CHP is challenged by financial, regulatory, and workforce barriers. Discrepancies between private and public interests can be min...
