The pulp and paper industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its energy consumption and carbon footprint. This study examines the feasibility of integrating high-temperature heat pumps (HTHP) into tissue paper production to enhance energy efficiency and decarbonization. Focusing on the energy-intensive drying process, the study uses data from...
Biomethane liquefaction may help decarbonization in heavy transportation and other hard-to-abate sectors. Small-scale liquefaction plants (<10 ton/day) are suitable for small biogas plants located near farms and other agricultural activities. “Internal refrigerant” refrigeration cycles (e.g., Kapitza cycle) are often proposed for small-scale natura...
In the framework of a scenario with an always increasing share of generation from variable renewable sources, the need for systems able to store energy or to convert the excess generation into useful goods is becoming of paramount importance. While several projects and pilot plants deal with direct energy storage or with the conversion of the exces...
The paper proposes an innovative scheme exploiting oxygen liquefaction as a means for storing excess electricity generation from renewable sources. Liquid oxygen is then used in an oxy-combustion process with LNG to generate electricity when renewable energy generation is below the demand. An equivalent round trip efficiency is defined to make it p...
The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation scenario forces to face new challenges to achieve an effective management of the power system both in technical and economic terms. Traditional energy storage solutions, like electrochemical cells and pumped hydro energy storage appear critical in terms of economic...
