Techno-economic assessment of hydrogen refueling station: A case study in Croatia

Hydrogen refueling station (HRS) capacity and location depend on the users, which makes it difficult to select the most favorable option before potential users are actually identified. As in Croatia, at least for now, there are no hydrogen users, this study considers a wide range of HRS capacities and their different configurations. These include hydrogen production and charging station within one existing wind farm in Croatia or both nearby the users, the hydrogen production within the wind farm and the charging station nearby the users, while hydrogen is delivered to the station with a tube trailer, and configuration of hydrogen production within the wind farm with a mobile charging station in case of several users in different locations. Each HRS configuration is evaluated by the obtained levelized cost of hydrogen depending on the capital, and operation and maintenance costs within the HRS techno-economic analysis provided.     

High-Efficiency Organic Solar Cells Based on a Low-Cost Fully Non-Fused Electron Acceptor

A series of tetrathiophene-based fully non-fused ring acceptors (4T-1, 4T-2, 4T-3, and 4T-4), which can be paired with the star donor polymer PBDB-T to fabricate highly efficient organic solar cells are developed. Tailoring the size of lateral chains can tune the solubility and packing mode of acceptor molecules in neat and blend films. It is found that the incorporation of 2-ethylhexyl chains can effectively change the compatibility with the donor polymer PBDB-T, and an encouraging power conversion efficiency of 10.15% is accomplished by 4T-3-based organic solar cells. It also presents good compatibility with the other polymer donor and an even higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.04% is achieved based on D18:4T-3 blend, which is the champion PCE for the fully non-fused acceptors. Importantly, these inexpensive tetrathiophene fully non-fused ring acceptors provide cost-effective photovoltaic performance. The results demonstrate a high photovoltaic performance from synthetically inexpensive materials could be achieved by the rational design of non-fused ring acceptor molecules.     

Physicochemical and technological properties of beef burger as influenced by the addition of pea fibre

This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics and sensory attributes of beef burgers with the addition of pea fibre as a partial substitute of meat or fat. Three formulations were prepared: control (CON) – similar to the commercial formulation; fibre/less meat (FLM)—5% meat reduction and addition of 1% pea fibre; fibre/less fat (FLF)—7% fat reduction and addition of 1% pea fibre. Non-significant differences were obtained for pH, colour parameters (L* and b*), texture profile, cooking loss and size reduction among formulations. Moreover, sensory analysis with consumers of beef burgers did not indicate differences among the formulations for all the analysed attributes. Therefore, pea fibre is a promising partial replacer for meat and fat in beef burgers due to the preservation of technological parameters and sensory acceptance.

Pure hydrogen co-production by membrane technology in an IGCC power plant with carbon capture

The CO₂ capture in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plants causes a significant increase of the cost of electricity (COE) and thus determines high CO₂ mitigation cost (cost per ton of avoided CO₂ emissions). In this work the economic sustainability of the co-production of pure hydrogen in addition to the electricity production was assessed by detailed process simulations and a techno-economic analysis. To produce pure hydrogen a Water Gas Shift reactor and a Selexol^® process was combined with H₂ selective palladium membranes. This innovative process section was compared with the more conventional Pressure Swing Adsorption in order to produce amount of pure hydrogen up to 20% of the total hydrogen available in the syngas.Assuming for a base case a hydrogen selling price of 3 €/kg and a palladium membrane cost of 9200 €/m², a cost of electricity (COE) of 64 €/MWh and a mitigation cost of 20 €/ton_CO2 were obtained for 90% captured CO₂ and 10% hydrogen recovery. An increase of the hydrogen recovery up to 20% determines a reduction of the COE and of the mitigation cost to 50 €/MWh and 5 €/ton_CO2, respectively. A sensitivity analysis showed that even a 50% increase of cost of the membrane per unit surface could determine a COE increase of only about 10% and a maximum increase of the mitigation cost of further 5 €/ton_CO2.     

Responsive supply in fashion mass customisation systems with consumer returns

Mass customisation systems have been well-established in the fashion industry. Some fashion brands offer the mass customisation system for their selected seasonal products, and allow unconditional returns and full refund for any unsatisfied customers. Motivated by the above mentioned observed industrial practice and based on the growing importance of responsive supply, we explore in this paper the value of quick response supply in fashion mass customisation systems with consumer returns. We focus on investigating how the consumer returns rate affects (i) the optimal inventory decision of the fashion brand, (ii) the achievability of Pareto improvement in implementing quick response supply, (iii) the respective values of quick response for the fashion brand, the fashion supplier and also the fashion supply chain, and (iv) the impact of quick response supply on the environment. We interestingly find that consumer returns enhance the value of quick response supply to the fashion supplier. Quick response supply is also found to be helpful in reducing the environmental cost under the fashion mass customisation system with consumer returns.

Exergoeconomic analysis of hydrogen production using a standalone high-temperature electrolyzer

The conventional hydrogen production methods, primarily steam methane reforming and coal gasification, produce massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions which significantly cause impacts on the environment. An alternative hydrogen production method is high-temperature electrolysis using Solid Oxide Electrolyzer that combines both high conversion efficiency and saleable high purity hydrogen production. The produced hydrogen can feed the various industrial processes at different scales in addition to offering an environmentally friendly storage option. The scope of this paper is to examine the economic feasibility of this technology through the utilization of the exergoeconomic concept, which traces the flow of exergy through the system and price both waste and products. Therefore, a standalone solid oxide electrolyzer of a 1MWe is considered for hydrogen production using renewably generated electricity. Having the detailed exergy analysis conducted in earlier studies, the focus of this article is on the costing of each exergy stream to determine the exergy cost and the potential changes outcomes as a result of the system operating or design parameters optimization. It is found that the cost of hydrogen production through the modular high-temperature electrolyzer varies between $3-$9/kg with an average of about $5.7/kg, respectively.
