Carbon Dioxide Capture: Using Activated Carbon From Chicken Waste
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission from hydrocarbon fuel combustion is becoming a serious concern because it is the main contributor to greenhouse gas which causes global warming. Activated carbon sorbents have been used widely in various gas-phase and/or liquid-phase separation. Currently activated …

Advancing Irish energy system modelling to inform residential policy
Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are rising, and a lack of action towards climate policy has sparked a renewed determination to act. Energy Systems Optimisation Models (ESOMs) help guide energy policymaking to meet climate goals. This thesis uses a newly developed ESOM, TIMES Ireland Model …

A Probabilistic Decision Support System for a Performance-Based Design of Infrastructures
… business interruption costs, casualty costs, and CO2 emission costs. Twelve alternative design configurations and four decision maker utility functions under aleatory and epistemic uncertainties are utilized. The results of the decision analysis methodology revealed that the high-performing design …

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures
Concrete contributes to 8% of global CO2 emission through reinforced concrete (RC) structural system. Unlike steel and timber structures, RC components are rarely reused due to the inseparable phase between concrete and steel. This results in down cycling of the components into aggregates or …
