Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions Research and Development Leading to Cost-Competitive Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) Based Jet Fuel Production

Archer D., U.S. DOE, US

Significant opportunities to reduce GHG emissions of CTL fuels fall under three categories: increasing efficiencies of conversion technologies; supplementing coal with feedstocks and energy inputs that have lower lifecycle GHG emissions; and carbon capture, utilization, [...]

Eco-efficiency measurement for Hydrogen as an alternative public transportation fuel

Cha K-H, Lee J-Y, Hur T., Konkuk University, KR

Urban governments are continually striving to enhance public transportation in ways that make them more environmental-friendly and improve the air quality. H2 and Fuel Cell Bus (FCB) offer one of the best ways to reduce [...]

Diesel Production from Waste Disposal using Catalytic Dissociation on Mn-zeolite Catalyst

Kim M.C., Lee K.B., Cheongju University, KR

The approach for catalytic dissociation of waste diaposal using various catalysts is presented. This approach includes two principal steps: a characterization of catalysts is used to determine the active site of prepared catalysts, and the [...]
