Retro-reflectivity is a promising surface capability, which has attracted the interest of researchers for building applications in order to counteract Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. This work aims at studying the impact of the substrate material on the optic performance of retro-reflective (RR) coatings. Three types of substrate materials were investigated: smooth pine wood panels, rough plywood panels, and smooth acetate sheets. The RR coating samples were made by firstly adding a high reflective white paint onto the substrate material and a homogeneous RR glass beads layer on the top. As a reference case, also diffusive samples, without RR beads, were developed. Samples have been tested through a spectrophotometric and an angular reflectivity analysis. Results show that, despite a lower global reflectance of the RR samples with respect to the diffusive ones, the glass beads coating provides a good retro-reflective capability to all the diffusive samples. Additionally, the roughest RR sample exhibited the highest RR capability of up to 16%, with respect to the other smoother samples. Future developments may involve the optimum design of RR coatings, in terms of their optic performance by varying the substrate materials and roughness, the glass beads density and dimension.

Wine production is a key sector for the Italian economy, representing 13 billion euros per year. The proportion of the market raises concerns about improving the production technology at low cost, safe practices, and low environmental impacts. The recurrent life cycle assessment performed does not report on the impacts of frost protection. This study presents the potential environmental impact of a novel late frost protection technique for vineyards that is currently under development. It consists of an organic coating made of sugar and straw to prevent vine damage due to frosts in vineyards in the coldest hours of late winter and early spring. From previous research at the University of Perugia (Italy), the technique has proven to be an effective protection method for vine shoots. Currently, the yields are protected by highly energy-demanding methods. For this study, we simulated two different scenarios of frosting protection so we could point out possible hotspots for the field application of the novel method and compare it to a technique usually employed in central Italy. Under the Centrum voor Milieukunde Leiden (CML) method, the cotton candy technique is estimated at 316 kg CO2 equivalent emissions for hectare. Employing the organic sugar-coating means avoiding 69,375 kg of CO2 eq. compared to the traditional technique of oak wood-burning into the vineyard. Preliminary cost analysis demonstrated the economic viability of implementing the organic coating.

Chemical composition in seawater of marine sediments, as well as the physical properties and chemical composition of soils, influence the phase behavior of natural gas hydrate by disturbing the hydrogen bond network in the water-rich phase before hydrate formation. In this article, some marine sediments samples, collected in National Antarctic Museum in Trieste, were analyzed and properties such as pH, conductivity, salinity, and concentration of main elements of water present in the sediments are reported. The results, obtained by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ion chromatography (IC) analysis, show that the more abundant cation is sodium and, present in smaller quantities, but not negligible, are calcium, potassium, and magnesium, while the more abundant anion is chloride and sulfate is also appreciable. These results were successively used to determine the thermodynamic parameters and the effect on salinity of water on hydrates’ formation. Then, hydrate formation was experimentally tested using a small-scale apparatus, in the presence of two different porous media: a pure silica sand and a silica-based natural sand, coming from the Mediterranean seafloor. The results proved how the presence of further compounds, rather than silicon, as well as the heterogeneous grainsize and porosity, made this sand a weak thermodynamic and a strong kinetic inhibitor for the hydrate formation process.

The present work deals with a review of single-guest hydrate phase equilibrium data and also hydrate equilibrium in presence of chemical additives, which operate as inhibitors, promoters, or both together. In the recent years, a very limited number of data collections on hydrate equilibrium has been produced; moreover, these data have not been fully reported in these works, making further research necessary to obtain complete information. We provide a detailed collection of the equilibrium data of hydrate containing single guest as CH4, C2H6, C3H8, C4H10, CO2, N2, Xe, Ar and Kr and a brief review of las-scale reactors nowadays used for making research on gas hydrate. These two kinds of information, will be extremely helpful for researchers which are planning to realize a new experimental apparatus for studying gas hydrate. It is well known how, rather than process parameters (i.e. pressure, temperature, presence of a porous medium and its permeability and porosity, presence of impurities, and so on), also specifics of each reactor may strongly intervene on formation results. The second part of this work consists in a collection of the thermodynamic equilibrium data of hydrate in the presence of additives. Some substances are known to be selective inhibitors (promoters); other compounds have greater efficiency when coupled to further chemicals while, in some cases, such coupling can cancel the inhibitory (or promoter) effect. Finally, a state of the art of hydrate equilibrium experiments carried out with methane and carbon dioxide, with a simultaneous presence of inhibitors and promoters, was provided.

Natural gas hydrates represent a valid opportunity to counteract two of the most serious issues that are affecting humanity this century: climate change and the need for new energy sources, due to the fast and constant increase in the population worldwide. The energy that might be produced with methane contained in hydrates is greater than any amount of energy producible with known conventional energy sources; being widespread in all oceans, they would greatly reduce problems and conflicts associated with the monopoly of energy sources. The possibility of extracting methane and simultaneously performing the permanent storage of carbon dioxide makes hydrate an almost carbon-neutral energy source. The main topic of scientific research is to improve the recovery of technologies and guest species replacement strategies in order to make the use of gas hydrates economically advantageous. In the present paper, an experimental study on how salt can alter the formation process of both methane and carbon dioxide hydrate was carried out. The pressure–temperature conditions existing between the two respective equilibrium curves are directly proportional to the effectiveness of the replacement process and thus its feasibility. Eighteen formation tests were realized at three different salinity values: 0, 30 and 37 g/L. Results show that, as the salinity degree increases, the space between CO2 and CH4 formation curves grows. A further aspect highlighted by the tests is how the carbon dioxide formation process tends to assume a very similar trend in all experiments, while curves obtained during methane tests show a similar trend but with some significant differences. Moreover, this tendency became more pronounced with the increase in the salinity degree.

Natural gas hydrates represent a valid opportunity in terms of energy supplying, carbon dioxide permanent storage and climate change contrast. Research is more and more involved in performing CO2 replacement competitive strategies. In this context, the inhibitor effect of sodium chloride on hydrate formation and stability needs to be investigated in depth. The present work analyses how NaCl intervenes on CO2 hydrate formation, comparing results with the same typology of tests carried out with methane, in order to highlight the influence that salt produced on hydrate equilibrium conditions and possibilities which arise from here for improving the replacement process efficiency. Sodium chloride influence was then tested on five CO2/CH4 replacement tests, carried out via depressurization. In relation with the same typology of tests, realised in pure demineralised water and available elsewhere in literature, three main differences were found. Before the replacement phase, CH4 hydrate formation was particularly contained; moles of methane involved were in the range 0.059–0.103 mol. On the contrary, carbon dioxide moles entrapped into water cages were 0.085–0.206 mol or a significantly higher quantity. That may be justified by the greater presence of space and free water due to the lower CH4 hydrate formation, which led to a more massive new hydrate structure formation. Moreover, only a small part of methane moles remained entrapped into hydrates after the replacement phase (in the range of 0.023–0.042 mol), proving that, in presence of sodium chloride, CO2/CH4 exchange interested the greater part of hydrates. Thus, the possibility to conclude that sodium chloride presence during the CO2 replacement process provided positive and encouraging results in terms of methane recovery, carbon dioxide permanent storage and, consequently, replacement process efficiency.

Late frosts are one of the major impact factors on agriculture worldwide with large economic losses for agricultural crops, with a significant impact also in wine production. Given the importance of the wine sector in the world, more and more efforts are being made to identify innovative techniques capable of creating a low-cost and effective protection for vine shoots, as well as reducing energy consumption. In a previous work, cotton candy was identified as an insulating material to solve the problems related to late frosts on vineyards and limit its damages as much as possible. From the results of the previous research, it has proved that cotton candy is an excellent thermal insulator, but it degrades quickly in windy conditions. Thus, climatic tests carried out in windy condition showed that straw can greatly slow down the degradation of cotton candy over time, giving an indirect contribution to the protective effectiveness of cotton candy. In addition, several tests were conducted with different amounts of sugar and straw without wind to evaluate whether the straw can itself make a contribution in terms of thermal insulation, as well as contribute to the protective effectiveness of cotton candy, minimizing energy use as well.

This paper presents the results of the characterization of new retroreflective (RR) plasters for outdoor applications. The paint was obtained through deposition of four different types of RR microspheres on a traditional plaster for exterior applications. The plasters were characterized through a spectrophotometric, directional and colorimetric analysis. All the types of microspheres provide strong RR behavior for incident light directions from 0° to 60° with respect to the surface normal. However, the aluminum coating, with and without fluoropolymer coating, affects negatively the global reflectance and change completely the tiles’ original color, making the application of the aluminum RR tiles very limited. Glass and barium microspheres instead improve the optic properties of the original plaster, with negligible effects on the color. An analytic model was used to evaluate the amount of energy that is reflected beyond the canyon by the RR materials. It was found that at 42°N latitude, the best performing configurations are the combination of RR façade and RR pavement, for glass spheres. Two full-scale vertical surfaces, covered with RR plaster with glass microspheres and diffusive plaster respectively, were developed to investigate the visual comfort of pedestrians, in particular glare. Results show that the Daily Glare Probability (DGP) and superficial temperature for the RR wall is always lower than those for the diffusive wall.

Natural gas hydrates are the largest reservoir of natural gas worldwide. This paper proposes and analyzes the CH4-CO2 replacement in the hydrate phase and pure methane collection through the use of membrane-based separation. The investigation uses a 1 L lab reactor, in which the CH4 hydrates are formed in a quartz sand matrix partially saturated with water. CH4 is subsequently dissociated with a CO2 stream supplied within the sediment inside the reactor. An energy and environmental analysis was carried out to prove the sustainability of the process. Results show that the process energy consumption constitutes 4.75% of the energy stored in the recovered methane. The carbon footprint of the CH4-CO2 exchange process is calculated as a balance of the CO2 produced in the process and the CO2 stored in system. Results provide an estimated negative value, equal to 0.004 moles sequestrated, thus proving the environmental benefit of the exchange process.

Natural gas hydrates represent a valid opportunity for the permanent storage of CO2. In this work thermal stimulation technique has been deepened for replacing CH4 with CO2. Using a lab-scale reactor, eight experimental tests were carried out, characterized by two phases. The first one consists in the methane hydrates formation and is the same for all experiments. The second one consists in the replacement process and has been conducted with two different methods. In the first four tests CO2 was first introduced to reach a solid phase of methane hydrates and a gaseous phase composed of both CH4 and CO2; subsequently the temperature was increased. In the other four tests, the first step consisted in increasing temperature and then introducing CO2. In this case, the temperature required to move the thermodynamic conditions from a region suitable for the formation of both CH4 and CO2 hydrate to a region where the formation process can only involve CO2, was achieved without additional thermal energy; in fact, when the CO2 hydrates began to form, an immediate and massive release of heat took place. The results show that the methane yield and the amount of CO2 that can be stored do not differ between the two types of tests, but the thermal energy required to complete the process is much lower in the tests conducted with the second method.

Topic of this work is to carry out studies to deepen the knowledge of the CO2-CH4 replacement process, using a laboratory scale apparatus designed to reproduce marine hydrate sediments. Nine tests were performed, at three different hydrate saturation levels: 10, 20 and 30%. Temperature profiles over time allow to determine the spatial distribution of the formed hydrates in the sediment. At 10% and 20 % hydrates saturation the reaction always starts in the upper part of the reactor, but the massive formation occurred in the lower and the middle area. When saturation reached 30%, reaction heat was mainly produced in the upper part of the reactor. Three CO2-CH4 replacement tests were carried out at 10 % hydrate saturation. During the tests both temperature and pressure were modified to cause the CH4 hydrates dissociation and the CO2 hydrates formation. At the end of the replacement process, CO2 stored was in the range 31-42% of the total CO2 injected, and the exchange efficiency was in the range 1.30-1.45.

Cool materials have been proposed for building applications given their potentialities in reducing building energy consumption, urban heat island effects, and global warming. Among cool materials, retro-reflective (RR) ones have been recently proposed for their ability to reflect backwards the incidental striking solar energy. This property is useful in densely urbanized areas, in urban canyons patterns, and in urban areas with buildings of different heights, because it avoids that the reflected energy contributes to the overheating of the neighbor buildings and structures. This study aims to predict the long-term performance of some RR tiles and paints intended for building applications. To this purpose, laboratory accelerated aging tests as described in the ASTM G154 were performed to determine the long-term material properties within a much shorter time than with outdoor weather aging. The samples show minimal changes in the reflectivity, directional reflection, and colorimetry. Finally, this paper shows that the RR character of the investigated materials and their urban cooling potential would be preserved.

The present paper aims at assessing the carbon and energy footprint of an innovative process for carbon dioxide recycling, with flue gas as feedstock of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen is converted into ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process and carbon dioxide into methane via Sabatier reaction using hydrogen produced by renewable electricity excess. Carbon and energy footprint analysis of the process was assessed based on experimental data related to hydrogen production by electrolysis, methane synthesis via Sabatier reaction, energy consumption and energy output of the process units for flue gas separation, carbon dioxide methanation and ammonia synthesis. A Life Cycle Assessment method is applied, based on the experimental and computational data, both in case of renewable electricity excess and electricity from the grid. Results show that in case of renewable electricity excess, for a functional unit of 1 kg of treated flue gas, the specific carbon footprint is 0.7819 kgCO2eq and energy footprint is 50.73 MJ, which correspond to 4.012 kg and 260.3 MJ per 1 kg of produced hydrogen. In case of electricity from the grid, the specific carbon footprint is 1.550 kgCO2eq and energy footprint is 59.12 MJ per flue gas mass unit. If the carbon footprint is positive, the process indirectly leads to avoided emissions, ranging from 0.673 to 0.844 kgCO2eq kg−1fluegas, thus proving the sustainability of the proposed pathway.

In the European Union (EU), where architectural heritage is significant, enhancing the energy performance of historical buildings is of great interest. Constraints such as the lack of space, especially within the historical centers and architectural peculiarities, make the application of technologies for renewable energy production and storage a challenging issue. This study presents a prototype system consisting of using the renewable energy from a photovoltaic (PV) array to compress air for a later expansion to produce electricity when needed. The PV-integrated small-scale compressed air energy storage system is designed to address the architectural constraints. It is located in the unoccupied basement of the building. An energy analysis was carried out for assessing the performance of the proposed system. The novelty of this study is to introduce experimental data of a CAES (compressed air energy storage) prototype that is suitable for dwelling applications as well as integration accounting for architectural constraints. The simulation, which was carried out for an average summer day, shows that the compression phase absorbs 32% of the PV energy excess in a vessel of 1.7 m3, and the expansion phase covers 21.9% of the dwelling energy demand. The electrical efficiency of a daily cycle is equal to 11.6%. If air is compressed at 225 bar instead of 30 bar, 96.0% of PV energy excess is stored in a volume of 0.25 m3, with a production of 1.273 kWh, which is 26.0% of the demand.
