    Belgrade's district heating (DH) system is one of the largest in Europe with a total network length of 1420 km and capacity of over 2800 MW. The majority of the network is run on the natural gas boilers and fuel oil boilers with no waste heat from cogeneration or other sources being used and very little renewables (0,75% of capacity). Energy efficiency of the building stock is quite low, and the intensity of energy consumption is high. The city needs harmonized approaches to efficiency.

    The development objective of the Baotou Iron and Steel Energy Efficiency Project for China is to mitigate global environmental impacts of carbon dioxide (C02) emissions through purchase of C02 emissions avoided by the operation of the Baotou Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd (BISCO) Coke dry quenching (CDQ) project under the clean development mechanism (CDM). The project was approved as a CDM project by National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in 2007. It consists of three sets of CDQ heat recovery boilers (No. 1, 2, 3) and steam turbine generators at the back of six coke ovens (No.

  • Background: A conventional TE device made of one type of semiconductor of material can be optimized for a specific range of temperature by choosing a semiconductor material that possesses physical properties (e.g. bandgap) suitable for a target range of temperature. This design scheme works only when a temperature range specified by the difference in temperature between the hot side and the cold side is relatively small.

  • Problem : Heat-actuated cooling minimizes the need for electricity by using waste heat such as car-engine exhaust. Economic success of this concept depends on development of more compact lighter-weight components. Invention: One important component is the desorber to separate two fluids in an absorption-cycle heat-actuated cooling scheme. The droplet concept significantly reduces the size and weight of the desorber.
