Vermont Transportation Energy Profile 2021, Jonathan Dowds, Dana Rowangould Oct 2021

Vermont Transportation Energy Profile 2021, Jonathan Dowds, Dana Rowangould

University of Vermont Transportation Research Center

Slightly more than one-third of the total energy consumed in Vermont is used for transportation (see Figure E-1). Transportation energy is overwhelmingly derived from fossil fuels, with over 95% coming in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel. Transportation is also the largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the State, accounting for 39.1% GHGs in 2017.

Consequently, the 2016 Vermont Comprehensive Energy Plan (CEP) included three goals and nine supporting objectives related to reducing transportation sector energy consumption and GHG emissions (VDPS, 2016). The 2021 Vermont Transportation Energy Profile (“the Profile”) is the fifth installment of a biannual …


Why Indonesia Needs A New Energy Paradigm, Aditya Prasetyo Aug 2021

Why Indonesia Needs A New Energy Paradigm, Aditya Prasetyo

English Language Institute

The problem of Indonesia's dependence on petroleum as its main energy source can be overcome by instead using an energy mix. This study focuses on optimal utilization of other energy resources that can help to meet the demand for energy in Indonesia and help to reduce its dependence on oil, thereby preventing a future energy crises.

Coupling additive manufacturing (AM) with interlayer peening introduces bulk anisotropic properties within a build across several centimeters. Current methods to map high resolution anisotropy and heterogeneity are either destructive or have a limited penetration depth using a nondestructive method. An alternative pseudo-nondestructive method to map high-resolution anisotropy and heterogeneity is through energy consumption during milling. Previous research has shown energy consumption during milling correlates with surface integrity. Since surface milling of additively manufactured parts is often required for post-processing to improve dimensional accuracy, an opportunity is available to use surface milling as an alternative method to measure mechanical properties and …
