This session includes process and systems design aspects in the broader domains of energy, economics and the environment. Energy topics include, but are not limited to: fossil fuels, renewables, alternative fuels, biofuels, biorefineries, conventional fuels, polygeneration, power systems, and synthetic fuels. Submissions may also discuss the integration of energy system design with other technological considerations such as optimization, control, energy storage, and sustainability. Papers that promote innovative solutions that use novel and unconventional sources of energy (e.g., natural gas, stranded gas, landfill gas, biogas) and feedstocks (e.g., shale gas, CO2) as well as better utilization of various forms of resources within chemical processing are encouraged.
