Ethylene is one of the most ubiquitous chemicals and is predominantly produced through steam cracking. However, steam cracking is highly energy- and carbon-intensive, making its decarbonization a priority. Electrifying the steam cracking…
Diffusion models may be formulated as a time-indexed sequence of energy-based models, where the score corresponds to the negative gradient of an energy function. As opposed to learning the score directly, an energy parameterization is…
The energy transition is also about switching to electricity-based technologies such as heat pumps and electric mobility. They avoid heat as an intermediate step and are therefore much more efficient. This can significantly reduce the…
Classical monofacial solar photovoltaic systems have gained prevalence and are widely reported in the literature because they have a lower initial cost compared with bifacial systems. However, limited investigation of both systems has been…
The goal of this paper is to review and critically assess different methods to monitor key process variables for ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. Because cellulose-based biofuels cannot yet compete with non-cellulosic…
