Solving Complex Retrofit Problems using Constraints and Bridge Analysis

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
The aim of this paper is to conduct retrofit analysis of large, complex industrial Heat Exchanger Networks using an automated Bridge Analysis. Large, complex networks have many different possible retrofit designs, or Retrofit Bridges, which requires both

Innovation Pathways to Carbon Efficiency: Disentangling the Effects of AI, R&D, and Clean Energy Blessings on U.S. Environmental Sustainability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...

Innovating for Net‐Zero: Collaborative and Digital Decarbonisation Strategies in Sunset Industries' Global Value Chains

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global net‐zero ambitions require transformative strategies to decarbonise carbon‐intensive global value chains (GVCs). This study examines how multinational enterprises (MNEs) in sunset industries integrate carbon capture technologies (CCT) with operational and supply chain dynamics (OSCD) to advance decarbonisation.

A “Two‐Pronged” Strategy Boosting the Activity and Stability of Nickel–Iron Catalysts Toward Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
A “two‐pronged” strategy has been developed to construct a substrate‐strengthened, organophosphorus‐protected nickel‐iron electrode for efficient and robust OER electrocatalysis. Owing to the reinforced catalyst–substrate interaction and minimized active site loss by organophosphorus protection, the integrated electrode serves as an robust and ...
