    Assessment of the potential for CO2 capture using post-combustion methods
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Kuś, Tomasz; Subramanian, Navaneethan; Madejski, Paweł; Karch, Michał
    The combustion of fossil fuels in the process of generating electricity causes the emission of carbon dioxide, which is considered the main anthropogenic reason for global warming. The paper’s subject is to assess the potential for $CO_{2}$ capture using post-combustion methods. Post-combustion methods such as chemical absorption, physical separation, membrane separation, and chemical looping, are described. The thermodynamic modeling of a coal-fired supercritical power plant integrated with a post-combustion carbon capture installation using the solvent method is performed. The results obtained from the model are used to investigate the impact of the power plant when carbon capture is performed.

    Environmental impact and consequences of EU car fleet development
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2026) Hristova, Yulia; Zhelyazkova, Donka
    This study analyzes the environmental impact of the EU car fleet and investigates the relationship between its age structure, motorization rate, the share of hybrid and electric vehicles, and carbon emission levels, considering both overall trends and regional variations based on population income. The methodology employed descriptive, comparative, and correlational analyses using recent data from European statistical and institutional sources. The findings indicate that despite the growing adoption of alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs), the EU car fleet continues to age, and emissions show only a negligible reduction. Significant regional disparities were identified, with wealthier nations maintaining younger, more environmentally sustainable vehicle fleets. Furthermore, air pollution measured by carbon dioxide emissions was positively correlated with vehicle age and negatively correlated with both the share of AFVs and the proportion of newly registered vehicles. The research highlights the tension between the objectives of the circular economy and the crucial need for accelerated fleet modernization, proposing directions for advancing sustainable mobility and environmentally responsible consumer behavior.
