biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

the demand for fossil fuel in the transport sector is constantly increasing and transportation is ranked amongst the highest greenhouse emitting sectors globally. today, tackling co2 emissions from road transport a widely discussed topic and constitutes a milestone towards reaching a sustainable, carbon neutral economy. this challenge is being described in various initiatives adopted in the eur...

nitrogen oxides (nox) contribute to a wide range of environmental effects including the formation of acid rain and destroy ozone layer. in-cylinder high temperature flame and high oxygen concentration are the parameters which affect the nox emissions. the egr system is a very effective way for reducing nox emission from a diesel engine (via reduction of these parameters), particularly at the hi...

The carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an activity or over the life stages of a product. Logistical service providers have various reasons to attempt to gain insight in the carbon footprint of their transport services. Clients may ask for a report on the emissions caused by a transport order and forthcoming legislation may demand carbon management ...

The influences of different diesel/biodiesel blends and EGR rate on brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature, NO, HC, CO emissions, are studied and demonstrated. In this paper a four stroke direct injection, water cooled, diesel engine was used. Biodiesel either in neat form or as a blend with diesel fuel is extensively investigated to solve the twin problem of reduction ...

Real-time drive cycles and driving trends have a vital impact on fuel consumption and emissions in a vehicle. To address this issue, an original and alternative approach which incorporates the knowledge about real-time drive cycles and driving trends into fuzzy logic control strategy was proposed. A machine learning framework called MC_FRAME was established, which includes two neural networks f...

1.Introduction Energy efficiency and environmental performance are mainstream issues for ship operators who are aiming through low carbon shipping and cost reductions. Although reducing fuel consumption seems to have priority, environmental considerations also push the shipping industry to operate in more efficient way. Strict legislations on GHG emissions and increasing fuel prices turn the fo...

On the last years engine researchers has been focused on improving engine efficiency in order to decrease CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, while fulfilling the increasingly stringent pollutant emissions regulations. In this framework, engine downsizing arises as a promising solution, and 2-stroke cycle operation offers the possibility of reducing the number of cylinders without incurring in ...
