Offshore oil and gas installations are mostly powered by simple cycle gas turbines. To increase the efficiency, a steam bottoming cycle could be added to the gas turbine. One of the keys to the implementation of combined cycles on offshore oil and gas installations is for the steam cycle to have...

Worldwide energy production requirements could not be fully satisfied by nuclear and renewables sources. Therefore a sustainable use of fossil fuels (coal in particular) will be required for several decades. In this scenario, carbon capture and storage (CCS) represents a key solution to control...

Biomass has emerged in the renewable energy area with high potential to contribute to the energy needs in both the industrialized and developing countries. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the economic feasibility of three different configurations of a woodchips power plant...
