60/70 Bitumen Properties with Carbon Black AdditivesKhalida Khalid
A research on the 60/70 pen Bitumen were made to test its properties after adding in Carbon Black additives. It is to prove that the additive does improve the bitumen's performance as the binder in pertaining the flexible pavement.
This presents a new report published to coincide with the COP 21 Paris Climate Conference, outlining a scientifically validated process to assess the green credentials of products made from bamboo. It shows how items made from this versatile plant can be carbon neutral – or even carbon negative – over their lifecycle. It provides a tool that producers can use to certify their green credentials for the increasing number of bamboo products on the market. The presentation was delivered by the report's lead author, Dr. Pablo van der Lugt, of MOSO International.

Energy Efficiency and Household Behavior: The Rebound Effect in the Residenti...nilskok
Policies designed to reduce energy consumption in the residential sector through energy efficiency measures are typically based upon engineering calculations, which may differ significantly from outcomes observed in practice. A widely acknowledged explanation for this gap between expected and the realized energy savings is household behavior, as energy efficiency gains alter the perceived cost of comfort and thereby generate shifts in consumption patterns -- a "rebound effect". This paper adds to the ongoing discussion about the method of identication and the magnitude of this effect, by examining the elasticity of energy consumption with respect to a predicted measure of thermal efficiency, using a sample of 560,000 dwellings and their occupants in the Netherlands. We document significant deviations between engineering predictions and the actual energy consumption of households: our results show a rebound effect of 26.7 percent among homeowners, and 41.3 percent among tenants. There is significant heterogeneity in the rebound eect across households, determined by household wealth and income, and the actual energy use intensity (EUI). The effects are largest among the lower income and wealth cohorts, and among households that tend to use more energy than the average household.

Coal bed methane and underground coal gasificationDan Wilson
A brief introduction to coal bed methane (CBM) and underground coal gasification. It includes yields and possible environmental impacts. A group presentation as part of my MSc at Keele University.
Biomass pyrolysis is a promising renewable sustainable source of fuels and petrochemical substitutes. It may help in compensating the progressive consumption of fossil-fuel reserves. The present article outlines biomass pyrolysis. Various types of biomass used for pyrolysis are encompassed, e.g., wood, agricultural residues, sewage. Categories of pyrolysis are outlined, e.g., flash, fast, and slow. Emphasis is laid on current and future trends in biomass pyrolysis, e.g., microwave pyrolysis, solar pyrolysis, plasma pyrolysis, hydrogen production via biomass pyrolysis, co-pyrolysis of biomass with synthetic polymers and sewage, selective preparation of high-valued chemicals, pyrolysis of exotic biomass (coffee grounds and cotton shells), comparison between algal and terrestrial biomass pyrolysis. Specific future prospects are investigated, e.g., preparation of supercapacitor biochar materials by one-pot one-step pyrolysis of biomass with other ingredients, and fabricating metallic catalysts embedded on biochar for removal of environmental contaminants. The authors predict that combining solar pyrolysis with hydrogen production would be the eco-friendliest and most energetically feasible process in the future. Since hydrogen is an ideal clean fuel, this process may share in limiting climate changes due to CO2 emissions.

21. While some wood may be land-filled following processing, wood residues are more commonly burned to produce process steam or electricity.
22. Also, when wood products, rather than products made from alternative materials, are manufactured and used, emissions of carbon dioxide are minimized.
23. The use of wood, therefore, results in “carbon storage” in that emissions of carbon are less that what would otherwise have been produced.
