Life Cycle Environmental Impacts and Decarbonisation Pathways of China’s Urban Water Systems
Urban water systems (UWSs) in China form an energy-intensive and intricate socio-technical network that links multiple components from water abstraction to sewage sludge disposal. As the country moves toward carbon neutrality, improving the environmental performance of the UWS has become essential. …

Energy Recovery from Oil Sands Reservoirs
… of centipoise. To extract bitumen via in-situ recovery processes, the bitumen's viscosity must be lowered to less than 20 cP. In all current commercial oil sands recovery processes, this is done by injected high pressure and temperature saturated steam into the reservoir. One such process, …
