Maintaining potato quality in medium- to long-term storage is temperature dependent and typically requires refrigeration to maintain a stable storage environment. This represents an energy demand that adds to production costs and greenhouse gas emissions using conventional fossil-based energy supplies. On-site renewable technology deployment presents opportunities to mitigate against these, however, the appropriate deployment of such technologies requires a site-specific understanding of energy demand and available renewable energy resources to best match the energy resources to demand. This research case study makes the case for on-site distributed wind electricity generation compared with solar PV in commercial-scale potato production in Ireland. It is based on high-resolution multi-annual measurements of electricity demand along with measurements and modelling of available on-site wind and solar resources at a commercial-scale producer's site. The results show that despite higher capital costs at present, distributed wind energy can be more appropriate for the given energy demand and resource profiles. A critical need to embed energy demand and resource matching criteria in government supports for on-site renewable energy deployment is highlighted. The learnings from this case study may be of benefit to numerous prospective stakeholders such as end-users, agricultural bodies and government agencies engaged with energy and carbon reduction in agriculture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100252,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Energy Systems","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, combating climate change relies heavily on recovering heat that would otherwise be squandered. With a growing population comes a greater need for clean drinking water. Single mixed refrigerant (SMR) cycle, one of the most practical refrigerating technologies for natural gas liquefaction, rejects a great deal of heat energy in the intercoolers between multistage compression that may be used as the primary heat source for a low-temperature multi-effect desalination plant. This research suggests combining a natural gas liquefaction system with a Liquid Vapor Ejector (LVE) and a Single Mixed Refrigerant (SMR) system, all of which use multi-effect distillation with thermal vapor compression (MED-TVC). The design code SMR-MED integrated system is developed using an in-house robust algorithm in Python. In this setting, the fact that the MED-TVC system can use waste heat from a single mixed refrigerant natural gas liquefaction facility highlights its flexibility. An energy and exergy analysis are performed to determine the feasibility of the proposed system. The design code has been validated against the existing literature. The parametric analysis has been done by changing three independent parameters: namely, refrigerant mass flow rate (10 kg/s to 30 kg/s), water mass flow rate at the intercooler (10kg/s to 40kg/s), and water inlet temperature at the intercooler (17 °C to 35 °C), as, these parameters affects both the LNG production SMR cycle as well as Distillate and Brine production in the MED-TVC system. The results suggest that increasing refrigerant flow increases the cooling effect by 299.68 %, thus producing 289.90 % more LNG; however, exponentially declines distillate by 74.22 %, thus limiting maximum refrigerant flow. Increasing the water mass flow rate improves the distillate production and Gained output ratio (GOR) by 676.07 % and 676.92 %, respectively; conversely, it reduces brine production by 72.97 %. In contrast, increasing water inlet temperature reduces distillate generation and overall system performance. The study results can be used to improve existing system performance and design more sustainable waste heat recovery systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100252,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Energy Systems","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143428885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Operations Research, the Green Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) addresses production planning decisions incorporating resource, environmental, and economic objectives. The Energy Procurement Problem (EPP) aims to efficiently acquire energy resources. In the literature, existing approaches for energy-aware scheduling neglect to procure energy from sources such as an uncertain dynamic energy market, RES, and ESS.

This plant has been operational in the Cobquecura area of the Ñuble Region, Chile, since 2022. The methodology involved identifying an optimal operating profile, validated via simulations with Homer-Pro software, and calculating both the potable and irrigation water production and the average production cost of water. The results indicate an average water production cost of USD 3.19/m³, with 56 % of the cost attributed to the initial investment, 26 % to operational expenses, and 18 % to planned component replacements. This cost is significantly lower than the estimated cost of water delivered by tanker trucks, which can reach up to USD 24/m³ in the region. Additionally, tanker trucks are limited to operating under favorable weather conditions due to challenges posed by rural road infrastructure.

Alternative energy sources are now necessary due to depletion of fuels derived from petroleum sources and their associated environmental impact. Fruit wastes can be utilized to make bioethanol which have the potential to decrease pollution and carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, bioethanol from a mixture of fruit wastes was produced through fermentation and distillation process. The physical pre-treatment of fruit wastes produced a juice with an average total soluble solids content of 9.7 ± 0.06 °Brix. Fruit wastes juice was enriched with sorghum and millet flour to provide additional fermentable sugars. Fruit wastes juice mixture with millet and sorghum produced an alcohol content of 25 % for the first 100 mL aliquot while fruit wastes juice mixture without millet and sorghum yielded 22 %. This confirms the potential of millet and sorghum as an additional fermentable sugar in the production of bioethanol. <em>Re</em>-distillation of the first aliquots improved the quality of bioethanol to 91 % alcohol content. Bioethanol production from fruit wastes offers significant environmental advantages including reduced landfill waste and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases due to decomposition. This process enhances resource efficiency by converting low-value agricultural residues into biofuel thus, supporting circular economy. Bioethanol is a renewable energy source that reduces carbon emissions and non-renewable resource reliance, thereby promoting sustainable energy practices. The use of fruit wastes mixture rich in natural sugars, supplemented with millet and sorghum as additional fermentable sugars, has improved bioethanol yield. Additionally, the application of a range of technologies from pre-treatment, fermentation to distillation that avoid use of corrosive chemicals has contributed to improved environmental management practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100252,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Energy Systems","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143288087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
