Optimizing the utilization of harvested wood products for maximum greenhouse gas emission reduction in a bioeconomy: A multi-objective optimization approach.

Climate change mitigation in a bioeconomy can be attained by increased use of harvested wood products. Thereby, substitution effects can contribute to reducing the Global Warming Potential, and storage effects can prevent direct carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Substitution and storage effects are often only considered as marginal changes.

How Green are Redox Flow Batteries?

Providing sustainable energy storage is a challenge that must be overcome to replace fossil-based fuels. Redox flow batteries are a promising storage option that can compensate for fluctuations in energy generation from renewable energy production, as their main asset is their design flexibility in terms of storage capacity. Current commercial options for flow batteries are mostly limited to inorganic materials such as vanadium, zinc, and bromine.
