Assessing Opportunities to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking in the United States
Steel is energy- and CO₂ emissions-intensive to produce, but it is also a crucial material for infrastructure, defense, and the energy transition. This thesis focuses on Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking, which accounts for roughly 70% of steel production in the United States. Decarbonization …

Analysis and optimization of the Graz cycle : a coal fired power generation scheme with near-zero carbon dioxide emissions
Humans are releasing record amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels in power generation plants. With mounting evidence that this carbon dioxide is a leading cause of global warming and with energy demand exploding, it is time to seek out realistic power …
