Hydrogen is a green-energy carrier with a high heat of combustion. If obtained from renewable sources, it could be the ultimate and environmentally benign solution for the future energy requirements. This thesis presents ...

There has been increasing interest in employing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) using various biomasses and low-rank coals for producing multiple outputs. The most of the existing IGCC plants do not conserve ...

Hydrogen is a by-product of the gasification process and it is environmentally friendly with respect to pollution and emission issues when it is derived from a CO2-neutral resource such as biomass. It is an energy carrier ...

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of the Mg-Cl hybrid thermochemical cycle and to develop a more cost and energy effective cycle. There are five key elements of this study: (i) modeling and simulation of the ...

Hydrogen is a promising alternative as an energy carrier (and carbon-free fuel) to meet the global power demand. Hydrogen production systems can efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources. Even though photo-electrochemical ...
