Electrocatalytic CO2 Conversion for Seasonal Energy Storage

Weekes D.M., Berlinguette C.P., The University of British Columbia, CA

The grid-scale deployment of clean electricity requires highly efficient energy conversion and storage technologies. The electrocatalytic conversion of waste CO2 represents a compelling energy storage pathway because the carbon-based products can be deployed in major [...]

On the behavior of modified TiO2 nanotubes for a photoanode-driven photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2

Palmas S., Università degli studi di Cagliari, IT

Carbon dioxide is one of the main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming. Due to the high costs of its disposal, many efforts have recently been addressed to its reuse: converting CO2 to valuable compounds [...]

Economic and Job Impacts of Increased Efficiency in Existing Coal-Fired Power Plants

Bezdek R.H., Wendling R.M., MISI, US

New Aspects of the Work: We estimated the incremental costs and benefits of coal power plant efficiency improvements and the economic and job implications of these. Conclusions and Main Results: Significant CO2 emissions could be [...]
