Quasi-Dimensional Thermodynamic Performance and Emission Modelling for Dual-Fuel SI Engine Operation Using Waste-Based Producer Gas and Methane
Abstract: Rising energy crisis and urgent need for better waste-handling techniques have gained significant attention. Integration of wastes-to-wealth and Green Energy evolution techniques are prime sustainable measures towards countering this menace. Moreover, Internal Combustion (IC) engines are significant energy consumers and their emissions play a major factor in global warming and ecological obliteration. Concerning these aspects, investigations should strive at emissions minimization and reutilization of low-impact industrial byproducts. Thus, using methane …

Zymomonas isolated from different States of Mexico: limited producers of ethanol
Abstract: The microbial synthesis of ethanol is conventionally by yeast, however the bacterial genus Zymomonas has an interesting capacity to synthesize ethanol, currently it is an ecological alternative, for the global demand for fuels other than oil. The objectives of this work were: i) to isolate Zymomonas that synthesize ethanol from natural sources ii) to select Zymomonas natural amounts for ethanol synthesis. The results show a wide distribution of Zymomonas in …

Reducing Environmental Impact through Optimized Non-Renewable Resource Management: A Systematic Review of Technological Advances
Abstract: The term "optimized use of non-renewable resources" describes the prudent management and optimization of limited natural resources that are difficult to replenish or regenerate quickly. Minerals, nuclear fuels, and fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) are examples of resources that are not renewable. The abstract idea is to minimize waste, the impact on the environment, and the pace of depletion while optimizing the utility obtained from these resources. Advanced …

Developing low power consumption Solar Atmospheric water generator for dealing with water crisis
Abstract: Nowadays in India as well as in some places in the world there is a shortage of water. In the world, 46% of the population, which is nearly 2 billion people are unable to have a clean water source for a drink. This became a threat. On Earth, water is present in different forms. One of them is water vapor. The relative humidity on earth varies by season and place. …

An experimental investigation of Prosopis Juliflora Biodiesel’s performance and emission characteristics
Abstract: Fossil fuels are currently in crisis due to their higher cost, their increasing use, and their scarcity. In view of the large number of cars on the road and the emission levels caused by combustion ignition engines, fuel substitutes are sought. Diesel is the most expensive fuel on the market, so biodiesel is a good alternative. Aside from its low toxicity, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, does not emit sulphur, …

Polymer Waste-Derived Activated Carbon from PET for High-Efficiency Supercapacitor Electrodes
Abstract: The exponential increase in plastic waste, particularly Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)—a polymer characterized by its repeating aromatic terephthalate units and ester linkages—has escalated into a global environmental crisis. This study details a low-cost synthesis of porous carbon materials derived from waste PET via pyrolysis followed by chemical activation with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). During pyrolysis, the PET polymer chains undergo thermal degradation, where the aromatic rings in the backbone serve as precursors …
