To highlight the policies necessary for zero-emissions decarbonization of energy-use sectors in Paraguay, this re-port introduces three scenarios for Paraguay’s final energy demand matrix from 2018 to 2030, 2040, and 2050 based on the freely available LEAP software and available base-line data as of 2018.
Lima et al. reported a low activation cost of poultry waste using steam by physical activation, which was found at USD 1.44 per kg at a production of 1108 tonnes per year. Lai et al. estimated the production cost of oil palm waste-based activated carbon with various activation methods for production capacity up to 1400 kg per day.
Here we review the use of activated carbon, a highly porous graphitic form of carbon, as catalyst and electrode for for energy production and storage. The article focuses on synthesis of activated carbon, hydrogen production and storage, biodiesel production, energy recovery, and the use of machine learning.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Paraguay: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
Scenario 1 shows that Paraguay would see a nearly 2.5-fold increase from 8.1 MtCO2e in 2018 to 20.13 MtCO2e by 2050 if no action is taken. Should the country emphasize biomass in reaching zero emissions, Paraguay would reduce emis-sions to 1.54 MtCO2e.
Among carbon materials, activated carbon due to its lower production cost, versatile surface chemistry, high surface area, and feasibility of activated carbon synthesis using waste materials has drawn tremendous attention in energy-storage systems as electrodes (Ayinla et al. 2019).
