Can switching fuels save water? A life cycle quantification of freshwater consumption for Texas coal-and natural gas-fired electricity [PDF]

, 2012
Thermal electricity generation is a major consumer of freshwater for cooling, fuel extraction and air emissions controls, but the life cycle water impacts of different fossil fuel cycles are not well understood.

Lignite Upgradation of Mae Moh Power Plant Thailand via Low – Temperature Pyrolysis

International Journal on Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2023
The lignite at Mae Mo mine in Lampang Thailand, which is the focus of this study is ranked as the lowest class in coal classification. The lignite is currently burned directly in boilers for electricity production, resulting in inefficiencies.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Drilling the Marathousa palaeo‐lake in Greece (Peloponnese): inferring the environmental context of a Middle Pleistocene archaeological site

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Megalopolis Basin is located in the central Peloponnese (Greece), a region that is situated along one of the primary Pleistocene biogeographical corridors for intracontinental hominin migration. The basin comprises several hundred metres of Plio‐Pleistocene sediments alternating between clastics and lignites.

Defining the geographical level of competition: a taxonomy of industry tradability

Economica, EarlyView.
Abstract The paper develops a taxonomy of industry tradability to define the geographical level at which competition takes place. First, it creates a novel dataset that combines production and international trade data for both goods and services industries, defined at a detailed (3‐digit) level of industry aggregation for 15 European countries.
