Thermodynamic Rarity and Recyclability of Raw Materials in the Energy Transition: The Need for an In-Spiral Economy

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
This paper presents a thermodynamic vision of the depletion of mineral resources. It demonstrates how raw materials can be better assessed using exergy, based on thermodynamic rarity, which considers scarcity in the crust and energy requirements for ...

Sufficiency in social practices: An underestimated potential for the transformation to a circular economy

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainability, 2023
To date, the circular economy has fallen short of its promise to reduce our resource demand and transform our production and consumption system. One key problem is the lack of understanding that highly promising strategies such as refuse, rethink, and ...

Thermodynamic Rarity and the Loss of Mineral Wealth

open access: yesEnergies, 2015
The second law of thermodynamics and, specifically, exergy analysis have been traditionally used for the assessment and optimization of energy systems. Nevertheless, as shown in this paper, exergy could also constitute a powerful tool for the evaluation ...

Environmental benefits for a geothermal power plant with CO2 reinjection: case study of the Kizildere 3 U1 geothermal power plant

open access: yesEnergy Storage and Saving, 2023
Geothermal power plants (GPP) with high non condensable gases (NCG) content geothermal fluid have shown to be environmental impacting relating to their energy production, which could be critical if no corrective actions are achieved. The GPP of Kizildere
