Integrated CO2 Absorption Process in a Coal-Fired Power Plant
January 3, 2018
It’s no secret that global governments are implementing greenhouse gas policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. These policies have a direct impact on the power generation sector as carbon capture and storage technologies are essentially the only option available for fossil-based power generation to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions. So, how will they do it? […]
Stabilizing Hydro Power for the Electrical Grid
August 31, 2017
Hydro-power is often associated with conservative and perhaps stagnant technology development. But, because it has been around for hundreds of years and many countries rely on the output of power, the maintenance and continued support of these plants is critical. Currently, in Iceland 70% of their electricity is produced from hydroelectric power, therefore constant operation […]
Validating Fuel Cell Efficiencies
August 15, 2017
In the last decade, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have seen an up-tick in popularity and practicality as OEMs and economies work to reach regional and global environmental goals. The automotive industry stands to gain the most from these technologies as PEMFC offer benefits that include: low emissions, in comparison to the archaic internal […]
