Renewable sources and its applications awareness in educational institutions
2019
The topic of the presented research was to analyze the awareness on renewable energy sources among the students of three universities: the Ural Federal University (Russia), the University of Trento (Italy) and Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu (Romania). The survey included 6 basic multiple-choice questions about the main points of the renewable energy topic. Data were collected and analyzed in aid of percentage ratio of right answers among students on each possible answer. The approach adopted in the three universities for the education on topics related to renewable energy is different. This difference explains the different point of view of students on renewable energy.
Direct Electricity Production from Linseed Oil
2019
Today’s energy industry is currently facing an increasing demand for electricity. Besides to the use of coal, oil and gas, in recent years renewable energy sources have also are used. One of devices using renewable energy sources is fuel cell (FC). The most commonly used fuel for fuel cells is hydrogen. But, problems with storage of this fuel causes, that the finding new fuels for FCs are very desirable. One of these fuels can be linseed oil. Powering high efficiency power sources (like FCs) with renewable fuels (like linseed oil) will allow development of renewable energy sources and elimination or reduce of toxic substances emissions. The paper presents the research of linseed oil electro…

Production and consumption of energy resources in ukraine in the context of renewable energy development
2019
Cheap and ecologically friendly energy resources are vital factors for sustainable development of the national economy. Due to global climate change and the depletion of fossil fuel resources, renewable energy may promote energy security and decrease harmful emissions. This paper aims at studying strategic directions for biofuel production and its utilization in Ukraine. On the basis of the literature review, steady world trends of renewable energy use have been revealed. Production of energy resources and the efficiency of their utilization have been analyzed. The modern aspects and priority of bioenergy use are highlighted. To evaluate the competitiveness of biofuels and their influence o…
Carbon Nitride-Based Catalysts for High Pressure CO2 Photoreduction
2022
In the current research, the productivity of CO2 photoreduction has been boosted by performing the reaction in an innovative photocatalytic reactor, which allows for operation up to 20 bar. A set of photocatalysts were used, including three types of pristine TiO2, i.e., one commercially prepared (Evonik P25), one home-prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP), and one obtained by the hydrolysis of TiCl4 (TiO2exCl), a bare thermo-exfoliated carbon nitride (C3N4-TE), and binary materials composed of TiO2 and C3N4-TE. The photoreduction was carried out in water at pH 14 and in the presence of Na2SO3 as a hole scavenger. Hydrogen and very small amounts of CO were detected in the head space of the…
