Cement industry is responsible for a significant portion of global carbon dioxide emissions leading to global warming and climate change. A substantial part of these emissions is due to burning fossil fuels to supply heat to the kiln at a high temperature. Concentrating solar collectors can be used for preheating the air supplied to the kiln or directly preheating the ingredients in the pre-calciner before feeding them into the kiln. Based on an existing cement plant’s available energy audit, a MATLAB model of the plant with its sub-processes has been developed. After verifying the model results by checking against the available energy audit’s mass and energy balances, the model is used to identify the possible solar hybridization paths and other energy-saving approaches. Considering the year-round solar resources in the region where the plant is located and other possible locations, it is shown that there are hybridization paths leading to significant carbon dioxide emission savings.

Geochemical modeling of CO2-water-rock interaction in indonesian geothermal fields for a possible future carbon capture and storage project Utomo, Gagas Pambudi; Yılmaz, Koray K.; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) The rise of CO2 concentration in Earth’s atmosphere from anthropogenic emissions is the main cause of global warming and climate change. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered as an effective method to reduce such emission. CCS can be performed in various sites including geothermal reservoirs. This study is concerned with geochemical modeling of CO2-water-rock interaction for a possible future CCS project in Indonesian geothermal fields, namely Ungaran, Baturaden, Dieng and Awibengkok. The modeling ...
PV CELL TEMPERATURE ESTIMATION AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS BASED ON CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Youssef, Youssef Maged Mohamed Baligh; Canraş, Batunlu; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-8) Climate change effects are on the rise due to greenhouse gas emission from the combustion of fossil fuels. The need to find alternative sustainable and renewable energy sources is of great importance. In Northern Cyprus, solar energy resources are abundant and must be utilized to provide energy security for the future and mitigate the effects of climate change. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are used to harness solar energy and produce electricity. The operating cell temperature of PV modules directly affec...
Sustainability Assessments of Urban Railway Systems: Case Study Evaluations in Turkey YÜKSEL, MÜGE; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Springer, 2019-01-01) There are ongoing efforts to control global warming via reducing CO2 emissions, which are mostly based on human activities. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) carbon footprint (CFP) calculations provide a clear picture of embodied carbon (EC). In this study, the significance of EC estimation and reduction for railway projects are explored. The main motivation is having applicable sustainability strategies for railway systems in Turkey. Since there is no certification system, range or database, these effort...

Geochemical characterization of geothermal systems in Turkey as natural analogues for geological storage of Co2/ Elidemir, Sanem; Güleç, Nilgün Türkan; Department of Geological Engineering (2014) To mitigate the unfavourable effect of CO2 emission on global warming and climate change, geological storage of CO2 is currently regarded to be one of the major strategies. Deep saline formations constitute one of the alternative reservoirs for hosting the injected CO2 and the information about the behaviour of these reservoirs is provided via the studies of natural analogues. This thesis is concerned with the geothermal systems of Turkey as natural analogues for CO2 storage sites and the evaluation of thei...
