Published at Chemical Engineering Transactions – Assessment of the Techno-economic Viability of the Optimal CSP Plant Technology in Egypt’s Climate

The DNI in Egyptshows a resource of 2500 along the North coast Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) are the two main methods for capturing solar energy. Egypt has so far focused its energy investments on solar PV technology. However, considering Egypt’s hot, dry weather throughout the year, centralized large-scale PV power generation …

Published at Chemical Engineering Science – Experimental screening of metal nitrides hydrolysis for green ammonia synthesis via solar thermochemical looping

Abstract: Ammonia is a fundamental chemical commodity for fertilizers and as a novel energy vector. Solar-driven ammonia synthesis is proposed as a sustainable alternative to the catalytic energy-intensive and CO2-emitting Haber-Bosch process. The considered thermochemical process aims to produce ammonia from nitrogen and water (N2 + 3H2O → 2NH3 + 1.5O2) via redox cycles using …
