متن کاملFuel cells, an alternative to standard sources of energy
Three E’s are the national energy policy drivers of any country of the world, Energy security, Economic growth and Environmental protection. A fuel cell is an energy conversion device that produces electricity by electrochemically combining fuel (hydrogen) and oxidant (oxygen from the air) gases through electrodes and across an ion conducting electrolyte. The principal characteristic of a fuel ...
متن کاملAlternative Energy Sources Beyond Oil and Gas: The Methanol Economy**
Oil and natural gas together with coal, the main fossil fuels, not only remain our major energy sources but they are also the feedstocks for a great variety of manmade materials and products that range from gasoline and diesel oil to varied petrochemical and chemical products, including synthetic materials, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. What nature gave us as a gift, formed over the course of ...
متن کاملAlternative strategies for energy recovery from municipal solid waste Part A: Mass and energy balances.
This two-part paper assesses four strategies for energy recovery from municipal solid waste (MSW) by dedicated waste-to-energy (WTE) plants generating electricity through a steam cycle. The feedstock is the residue after materials recovery (MR), assumed to be 35% by weight of the collected MSW. In strategy 1, the MR residue is fed directly to a grate combustor. In strategy 2, the MR residue is ...
