Techno-economic assessment of hybrid CSP-biogas power plants

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2020
Abstract This study aims to investigate the performance and economic benefits arising from the integration of concentrating solar power (CSP) plants with anaerobic digestion processes. To demonstrate the capabilities of hybrid CSP-biogas plants, the CSP section of the Ottana solar facility (Italy) is considered as a case study. A simulation model for

Green Innovation and Firm Efficiency: The Role of Institutional Quality in Italian High‐Tech Manufacturing Sectors

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify whether institutional quality affects the relationship between green innovation and firm efficiency within the high‐tech manufacturing sectors. To estimate jointly the parameters of a stochastic frontier and the coefficients of a model explaining technical inefficiency, we employed the one‐step estimation ...

Applying a Systems Thinking Approach to Circular Economy Transitions: Insights From the Use of a Sociotechnical Systems Approach Within the UK Hospitality Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite more than 20 years of research into sustainable tourism, the environmental impact of the UK hospitality sector remains high. A growing body of research into the concept of a circular economy (CE) demonstrates that transitioning to this way of working has significant benefits both for the environment and business outcomes.

Performance Evaluation of Biogas-fed Solid Oxide Fuel Cell System Coupling with CO2-selective Membrane Separator

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
Biogas is an interesting fuel for hydrogen production in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). However, CO2 is a main composition of biogas, resulting in the dilution of hydrogen in syngas and low electrical efficiency of SOFC.

Operational Performance Implications of Circular Economy Implementation: An Empirical Exploration in the Manufacturing Sector

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global manufacturing sector has increasingly adopted circular economy (CE) practices to address sustainability challenges and improve operational efficiency. This study explores the impact of five CE practices—reduce, reuse, remanufacture, recycle, and recover—on key operational performance dimensions: quality, speed, dependability ...
