The EU-funded research project HyFlexFuel recently successfully produced biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark).
C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. Water from the Hellisheiði power plant then flows through the facility and transports the carbon dioxide roughly 2,000 meters below the surface of the Earth. The water returns to the cycle of the geothermal power plant.
Although the presence of microplastics in the environment is raising concerns, the amount of microplastics in air and water is small compared to another polymer that pollutes air and water: micro rubber. 22 kilotonnes of micro rubber have accumulated in the environment in Switzerland.
Potential customers in Switzerland who wish to try out a German-made Tesla Model Y now have the opportunity to take one of the European-made all-electric crossovers for a spin. As per a recent post on LinkedIn, Tesla is offering test drives for its Germany-made Model Y in Cham, Zug, Switzerland. .
Methanization works by producing methane (CH 4 ) and water (H 2 O) by catalytic conversion from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ). Water causes problems with conventional processes, however; to remove it, serial methanization stages are typically required—with condensation areas in between. Schröter K.,
The innovative, commercial scale facility was created in cooperation with the partners thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions, the research center for the German Association for Gas and Water (DVGW), and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and will be in operation for analysis over the next 24 months.
Together with the partners Ineratec GmbH ( earlier post ) and Energiedienst Holding AG , the company has plans for a new pilot facility for the production of e-diesel in Laufenburg, in Canton Aargau (Switzerland). First, the CO 2 and H 2 are converted into syngas in Ineratec’s RWGS (reverse water gas shift) reactor.
Thus, early suggestions that a large-scale forest biofuel industry would be greenhouse-gas neutral or even reduce greenhouse emissions “ are based on erroneous assumptions ,” according to the authors from the Max-Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Germany, Oregon State University, and other universities in Switzerland, Austria and France.
As a partner, European Energy will produce e-methanol for Maersk’s first green feeder vessel, which is expected to be on the water by 2023. Proman (Switzerland). The project will be built by Proman with target start of operations in 2025, producing bio-methanol from non-recyclable forestry residues and municipal solid waste.
Linc says the Pyromex process produces good quality syngas with almost no CO 2 gas emissions, and without the need for the consumption of high volumes of water or power. PowerHouse now offers integrated waste and biomass-to-energy systems on a turnkey basis.
In today’s transistor, energy is constantly leaking or being lost or wasted in the off-state. Most of the heat is then wasted because it is just dumped into the atmosphere. By having water flow so close to each chip, heat can be removed more efficiently.
Rupp is Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge (USA) and affiliated to ETH Zurich (Switzerland). With Catalytic Innovations he is developing a high-pressure reactor design for the selective synthesis of ethanol from carbon dioxide reduction and water oxidation.
The first leg from Sindelfingen to the north-eastern border of Switzerland runs along Autobahn 81. It starts with the basic shape of the body, cradling the smooth-surfaced dome of the greenhouse as it flows like a water droplet towards the rear. At times, the VISION EQXX sliced through the wind at speeds of up to 140 km/h (87 mph).
Conventional coal-fired plants, which make water boil to generate steam that activates a turbine, have an efficiency of about 38 percent. Ultrasupercritical plants operate at temperatures and pressures at which the liquid and gas phases of water coexist in equilibrium. France sells energy to Italy, Spain, and Switzerland,” Rahman said.
What about a miniaturized water treatment plant? Within their R&D department, Eden Cleantech, they are developing a compact, energy-saving water treatment system to help tackle the growing presence of micropollutants in wastewater. This raises the question: How can a device made from CDs decontaminate water?
It seemed to me that recent improvements in reactor designs gave nuclear plants even more potential to deeply decarbonize societies at reasonable cost, while operating safely and dealing with nuclear waste in a responsible way. Still, it turns out you can’t easily get a sample of nuclear waste like americium; you have to work up to it.
It’s very wasteful.” He cited the large footprint of a small slipper once you factor in production, shipping and waste. Some resorts have found it easier to address sustainability through food waste and community engagement than footwear. Single-use slippers, he said, “feel out of place and out of touch.”
Then add water, to trigger a chemical reaction with the cement. Currently that means burning coal, coke, fuel oil, or natural gas, often along with waste plastics and tires. Vaulted In Dübendorf, Switzerland, a wildly shaped experimental building has floors, roofs, and ceilings created by Block’s structural system.
The tranquil setting all 60 villas stand between the water and a palm forest inspires the resorts wellness program. In an effort to minimize waste, the brand reworks its leftover leather pieces, repurposing them as components of larger items or accessories.
