Technologies and policies for decarbonisation of the industrial and transport sectors
A smarter design calculation for quay walls based on volume elements and nonlinear approaches in terms of lowering the C...
Port of Rotterdam has the ambition to reduce the footprint for building new quay walls, this is in line with their ambition to reduce the footprint and with national goals to limit global warming. The aim is to use less materials and/or use different design solutions. These reinforced structures are designed in a conventional way and the internal f...
Study on the characteristics of embodied carbon emission transfer in China’s power sector based on input-output networks...
Published in Frontiers in Environmental Science
Electricity is an essential factor of production. The trade of goods and services between different industrial sectors in different regions may lead to the transfer of embodied carbon emissions in the power sector, which makes the problem of “carbon leakage” widespread. As the world’s largest CO2 emitter, China’s systematic identification of the pa...
Modelling and Assessment of an Autonomous Ride-Sharing Service’s Urban Utilization: Case Study - Rotterdam
Increasing demand for passenger services in densely populated urban environments, are currently covered overwhelmingly by private vehicles. Their impact on CO2 emission, present a serious obstacle to the reduction objectives, in the Netherlands alone the target of 45% by 2030, for limiting the global warming to 1.5°C degrees. Autonomous Vehicles (A...

Early-stage optimal design of hybrid GEOTABS buildings in terms of costs and CO2 emissions
The high potential of ground source heat pumps (GSHP) to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems has been widely acknowledged. GEOTABS combines GSHP systems (which generate heating and cooling) and TABS (thermally activated building structure) systems as storage-integrated emission systems. G...
Monitoring the CO2 Emission Trajectory and Reduction Effects by ETS and Its Market Performances for Pre- and Post-pandem...
Published in Frontiers in Public Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great shocks on economic activities and carbon emissions. This paper aims to monitor the CO2 emission trajectory in China before and after the pandemic outbreak, and analyze the emission reduction effects by ETS and its market performances, which are important determinants underlying the trajectory and key drivers f...

Co-fermentation of succinic acid and ethanol from sugarcane bagasse based on full hexose and pentose utilization and car...
...
The full utilization of carbohydrates in lignocellulosic biomass is essential for an efficient biorefining process. In this study, co-fermentation was performed for processing ethanol and succinic from sugarcane bagasse. By optimizing the co-fermentation conditions, nutrition and feeding strategies, a novel process was developed to make full utiliz...
