Gasification is a promising pathway for converting biomass residues into renewable transportation fuels and chemicals needed to comply with the ambitious Swedish environmental targets. The paper investigates integration of molten carbonate electrolysis cell (MCEC) in biofuel production from sawmill byproducts, improve performance gas cleaning conditioning steps prior final conversion syngas liq...

The conversion of various solid low-cost fuels into valuable gas with high energy content is attracting increasing interest within the chemical industry and the energy supply sector. For the gasification of carbonic fuels, fluidized bed processing based on the dual fluidized bed concept is utilized preferably. Dual fluidized bed gasification technology greatly intensifies the conversion of the ...

Growing concern regarding energy resources and the environment has increased interest in the study of alternative sources of energy. To meet increasing energy requirements, there has been growing interest in alternative fuels like biodiesel to provide a suitable diesel oil substitute for internal combustion engines. Biodiesels offer a very promising alternative to diesel oil since they are rene...

Large-scale utilization of solar-energy resources will require considerable advances in energy-storage technologies to meet ever-increasing global energy demands. Other than liquid fuels, existing energy-storage materials do not provide the requisite combination of high energy density, high stability, easy handling, transportability and low cost. New hybrid solar thermal fuels, composed of phot...

Background Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation sources will require implementation of a variety of strategies, including improvements in the efficiency of overall vehicle/fuel systems, such as hybrid and new high-efficiency diesel engines, and use of synthetic fuels to replace or supplement petroleum-based fuels. A particularly attractive class of synthetic fuels is oxyge...
