Abstract:

In Cape Town, South Africa, households' acces to modern and clean energy services needs to be increased. However, use of coal-powered electricity stresses the environment and power cuts create an urgent need to reduce the demand. Solar water heaters (SWH) could enable increasing access and affordability of energy services in the townships without stressing the environment or increasing the demand for coal-powered electricity. However, it is an expensive solution and the majority of the city-level efforts still target the high-consuming households. The benefits for the poor households from usin

Abstract:

The focus of this study was to develop energy futures under different growthconditions in Nepal for 2050 and describes how the sustainable energy supply can bemade by using backcasting method to develop scenarios.The major distinguishingcharacteristic of backcasting analysis is a concern, not with what futures are likely tohappen, but with how desirable futures can be attained. It involves workingbackwards from a particular desirable future end-point to the present in order todetermine the physical feasibility of the futures and what policy measures would berequired to reach that point.

Abstract:

Ecuador was ‘refounded’ at the turn of the 21st century, with the articulation of progressive and inclusive ideals in a new Constitution. Social movements and leftist intellectuals in Ecuador have expressed that president Rafael Correa has failed to uphold the 2008 Constitution’s goals and values. President Correa and his Alianza PAIS government have utilized the rhetoric of the revolutionary ideals articulated in the Constitution, but in practice, they have continued to implement the status quo Western development model, and a large part of their development strategy involves ‘neo-extractive’

Abstract:

Around 770 million people lack access to improved drinking water sources (WHO 2013), urgently necessitating implementation of contaminant removal by e.g. desalination systems on a large scale. To improve water quality and enable use of brackish water sources for human consumption in remote arid areas, a directly coupled wind – electrodialysis system (Wind-ED) was developed. Modularity, sustainability and above all suitability for the practical use in off-grid locations were the main motivations and design objectives. The direct coupling of wind energy with membranes reduces the system costs as

Inhaca Island is situated outside Maputo in Mozambique and is one of the globally important areas for forest conservation. The forest provides a number of societal, environmental and economic goods. Electricity and LPG are available on the island but is for most people too expensive to use for the household’s most energy intensive activities, such as cooking. Instead, all of the 25 interviewed households use firewood for all or some of their cooking activities. The use of firewood on the island is unsustainable and is causing deforestation.

Abstract:

Synthesis gas and clean hydrogen will become key components of the energy industry. Their production from fossil fuels is likely to be a major source of these energy vectors and chemical building blocks for many decades ahead. Currently all the hydrocarbon conversion steps are carried out above surface, starting from oil and gas extraction and transportation to dedicated plants, with any separated CO2 returned back to the fields. However, there are increasingly strong drivers to reduce the environmental impact of the oil processing industry, by e.g. minimising the 'footprint' of such operation

Abstract:

The ceramic membrane is drawing ever-increasing attention due to its potential in oxygen production and clean energy delivery. However, there are still many challenges which need to be overcome prior to its commercialisation. One hurdle is its poor material stability under the real application conditions, e.g. CO2-containing atmosphere. The objective of this thesis is to develop new robust ceramic membranes with improved stability to be operated in CO2-containing atmosphere without losing the high permeation flux.

Abstract:

This dissertation relates to the application of density functional theory to the design of novel nanoelectrocatalysts for various electrochemical reduction reactions such as carbon dioxide reduction reactions, carbon monoxide reduction reactions and nitrogen reduction reactions. Many electrocatalysts with high activity, excellent selectivity and stability were designed and engineered using first principle calculations. These findings could potentially guide the experimentalists for creating clean and sustainable energy resources.

Abstract:

In the early 1990s many scientists claimed that there was a scientific consensus that the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases was causing global warming. Carbon dioxide is produced in far greater quantities than other greenhouse gases. Over 80 percent of the carbon dioxide produced in the United States comes from coal-fired power plants. If global warming is a threat to the welfare and survival of future generations, the United States, as one of the greatest producers of greenhouse gases,has an obligation to reduce its production of these gases. In order to determine the most effectiv

Abstract:

The global energy market is in the process of a transition from the use of fossil fuels to clean energy. In 2015, 19.3% of global energy consumption came from renewable sources. But until now, we cannot figure out how to store this energy effectively. For example, to power a cross-Atlantic flight for a jet, we should need a battery weighing about 1000 tons. But at the same time, we can use only 20 tons of kerosene. Now imagine what size battery is needed to power a city?
