Quantifying global exergy resources

Hermann, Weston A. - In: Energy 31 (2006) 12, pp. 1685-1702

Exergy is used as a common currency to assess and compare the reservoirs of theoretically extractable work we call energy resources. Resources consist of matter or energy with properties different from the predominant conditions in the environment. These differences can be classified as...

Technical, environmental and economic analysis of co-firing of gasified biofuel in a natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) combined heat and power (CHP) plant

Marbe, Âsa; Harvey, Simon; Berntsson, Thore - In: Energy 31 (2006) 10, pp. 1614-1631

The goal of this study is to evaluate co-firing of gasified CO2 neutral biofuel in a retrofitted natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) combined heat and power (CHP) unit designed for natural gas operation. This type of situation may be particularly relevant if future CO2 abatement policies require...
