Based on the principle of cascade utilization of multiple energy resources, a gas-steam combined cycle power system integrated with solar thermo-chemical fuel conversion and CO2 capture has been proposed and analyzed. The collected solar heat at 550 °C drives the endothermic methane reforming...

A novel solar hybrid power generation system with near zero CO2 emission (ZE-SOLRGT) has been proposed in the previous work, which is based on a GRAZ-like cycle integrating methane–steam reforming, solar-driven steam generation and CO2 capture. Solar heat assistance increases power output and...

Firms from different provinces in China and their different reactions to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) are studied in this research. Initial results from 27.547 outward foreign direct investment (FDI) projects by Chinese firms between 2000 and 2015 regarding the home region profile, host...

By synthetically combining the utilization of different fuels and the co-production of alternative fuels and power, a multifunctional energy system (MES) can present more opportunities to achieve higher efficiency, lower investment, and less environmental impact as compared to traditional energy...

An advanced oxy-fuel hybrid power system (AHPS) is proposed in this paper. Solar thermal energy is used in the AHPS to produce saturated steam as the working fluid, and natural gas is internally combusted with pure oxygen. It is in configuration close to the zero emission Graz cycle. The...
