Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology is developing in order to achieve higher energy efficiency, reduced economic costs, and improved firmness and dispatchability in the generation of power on demand. To this purpose, a research project titled HYSOL has developed a new power plant, consisting of a combined cycle configuration with a 100 MWe steam turbine and an 80 MWe gas-fed turbine with...

This study examines the effects of tillage, residue management and cropping system intensification through the inclusion of green gram on the performance of the rice-wheat (RW) system in NW India. We hypothesized that zero tillage (ZT) with residue retention provides a means of sustainably intensifying the RW system through lower production costs and higher economic profitability, whilst at the...

Four commercial wholegrain flours made from differently colored kernels of maize genotypes produced in Maize Research Institute "Zemun Polje" were used as the subject this study. Values major chemical components well mineral nutrients, antioxidants and some vitamins obtained white dent hybrid, yellow popping red variety blue landrace are presented. All had high fiber content (6.9-10.4%), while ...

The utilisation of waste biomass in biodiesel production as a sustainable energy source can lead to the incorporation circular bioeconomy principles current economic systems. Herein, we synthesised magnetically recyclable solid acid catalyst for esterification date seed oil. catalysts possessed superparamagnetic behaviour and high saturation magnetisation, allowing them be easily separated from...

The food industry is interested in new plant-based, non-toxic, additives to substitute synthetic ones. Aiming support the development of H. sabdariffa bio-colorant extracts at an early stage, a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) approach was used evaluate primary energy (CED) and global warming potential (GWP) three extraction processes: maceration (A), ultrasound-assisted (UAE) during ...

The building and construction sector has a huge impact on the environment because of enormous amounts natural resources energy consumed during life cycle projects. In this study, we evaluated potential environmental villa, from cradle to grave, in Saudi Arabian context. Centrum voor Milieukunde Leiden (CML) for Centre Environmental Science University-IA baseline v3.03 methods were used obtain p...
