The promotion of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) has been proposed as one promising solution for reducing transport energy consumption and mitigating vehicular emissions in China. In this study, the energy and environmental impacts of hybrid and EVs during 2010–2020 were evaluated through...

In China, renewable/green electricity, which can provide significant environmental benefits in addition to meeting energy demand, has more non-use value than use-value for electricity consumers, because its users have no way to actually own this use-value. To assess the value of renewable...

This investigation analyzes the thermal efficiency and pollutant emissions of a pressurized submerged combustion evaporator (PSCE). Experimental results show that our novel PSCE design can reduce NO_x emissions to 12 mg/kg with increased submergence depth and CO emissions to 5.56 mg/kg when using...

In this paper, flash evaporation and thermal vapor compression are used to reduce heat consumption of CO2 capture processes and two improved capture systems are proposed. One is the flash evaporator (FE) and thermal vapor compressor (TVC)-aided system, the other is the heated flash evaporator...
