University of British Columbia (UBC) engineers have used polymeric scrap tire fibers (STF) to develop a more resilient type of concrete that could be used for concrete structures such as buildings, roads, dams and bridges, while reducing landfill waste. Relative to a plain reference mixture, 0.4% STF and 0.3% and 99.4%, respectively.

Microalgae can grow in waste or sea water and offer vastly superior biomass yields per hectare; furthermore, CO 2 removed from the atmosphere during photosynthetic growth of the plant offsets CO 2 released during fuel combustion. The larger uptake of unconventional resources is reflected in a higher fossil EBR of 1.65

Utilizing biodiesel as a fuel option promotes sustainability and reduces dependence on finite fossil fuel resources. Ethanol blended fuels are widely used in Brazil, the United States, and Europe. Fuel cells do not emit any harmful gases and they emit water as biproduct of energy conversion. #10 Why fuel cells are important?

In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops. The first steps towards sustainable energy and resource management should aim for significant reductions on the demand side, with greater conservation and improved efficiency. However very few studies include water use impacts.

Unlike high-temperature reforming, supplementary water is not required. Because exhaust-driven reforming uses only waste engine heat, it avoids this efficiency hit, the authors note. High-temperature reformers need to burn a portion of the fuel to maintain their reforming temperatures, thereby generating a fuel-economy penalty.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish.

This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. The driver can program times for charging as well as preheating or cooling and adapt them to his or her requirements, such as departure time, so as to save resources and costs.
