A WTE plant of 3 MW rated capacity is combined with a PV array of capacity varying from 0.5 to 3 MW. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), Gradient Descent, and Newton's Method algorithms were used to minimize Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) while ensuring energy reliability. In the on-grid scenario, the minimum LCOH of around -399.215 $/kg was achieved by PSO, GA, and SA, which indicates cost-effectiveness with the help of grid exportation and importation. Whereas, in the off-grid case, LCOH values are higher: the minimum value of LCOH by PSO, GA, and SA was 34.81 $/kg, while the highest was obtained from Gradient Descent with 42.85 $/kg. The main problems that the configuration faced in an off-grid setting were related to not being able to satisfy energy demand and increased curtailment rates.

Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies have emerged as a solution to this challenge, capturing and converting carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub><sub>)</sub> into products, rather than allowing it to be released into the atmosphere. We explore public perception and acceptance of CCU-based products, with a focus on jet fuel as a case study. Using conjoint analysis within an online survey (<em>N</em> = 1204), we evaluated how contextual factors—transport options, energy sources, and production settings—affect consumer preferences. Participants rated both the acceptability of CO<sub>2</sub>-based jet fuel and the infrastructure required for its local and general production. The results suggest that preferences for the production conditions of CCU plants were driven more by energy supply and transport than by the type of plant manufacturing the final product in both local and general contexts. The acceptance of CCU plants and the production of CO<sub>2</sub>-based jet fuel in both contexts were the strongest predictors of overall acceptance. However, the final CCU product itself, regardless of context, was the least influential factor in shaping public perception. This study provides insights into public perceptions of the production of CO<sub>2</sub>-based jet fuel and identifies key factors influencing local and general acceptance. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the societal dimensions of CCU adoption and complement efforts in technology development and regulatory frameworks necessary for technology integration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100556,"journal":{"name":"Fuel Communications","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144534962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While global trade has intensified port energy demand, existing studies lack a comprehensive assessment of operational energy efficiency in commercial ports. This paper introduces an innovative framework that quantifies the technical benefits of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in port operations. Using pv syst software, including solar radiation analysis and port-specific energy assessments, the study shows that the deployment of 6336 PV panels, each with a power of 585 W, results in a total installed capacity of 3707 kWh. The system exhibits an annual energy generation rate of 7385,951 kWh with a performance ratio (PR) of 83.92 %, indicating high operational efficiency. Furthermore, the analysis of fossil fuel consumption shows significant seasonal fluctuations, with peak diesel consumption exceeding 10,578,132 liters in February due to increased operational demand, while the summer months show lower consumption. The findings highlight the critical role of solar photovoltaics in reducing seaports’ dependence on conventional fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs.

One promising approach to mitigating these emissions is the development of CO₂-based alternative fuels, which can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, such as gasoline and diesel, by capturing and reusing CO₂ emissions. While the technical feasibility of these fuels has been widely studied, limited research exists on consumer preferences regarding how information about alternative fuels is communicated. Understanding communication preferences is essential and critical for designing effective communication strategies that foster public acceptance and adoption, as they shape how individuals process information, form attitudes, and ultimately decide whether to adopt sustainable technologies. To address this gap, an online survey study (<em>N</em> = 215) was conducted to explore laypeople’s perceptions of alternative fuels, focusing on their information needs and communication preferences. The results revealed two distinct consumer clusters with differing expectations for content, channels, and trusted sources of information and communication. One group preferred detailed, science-based information from institutions, while the other favored accessible, practice-oriented content from industry or media. These findings emphasize the need for tailored communication strategies that reflect varying trust dynamics and information preferences. They offer practical guidance for policymakers and industry actors aiming to increase public engagement and acceptance of CO₂-based alternative fuels.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100556,"journal":{"name":"Fuel Communications","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 100146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144510847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flame luminosity decreases, with the emission color shifting from bright yellow (pure kerosene case) to dull yellow (multi-fuel cases) to a red-blue hue (pure H<sub>2</sub> case). These changes are attributed to variations in fuel distribution, heat release patterns, combustion mode, flame speed, and soot formation tendencies. The acoustic analysis reveals that a strong tonal behavior is observed under pure fuel conditions (prominent peaks at higher harmonics of 150 Hz) while broadband characteristics are exhibited under blended fuel conditions.

Unfortunately, the resource curse seems to have befallen the Ghanaian economy as the nation still imports petroleum products after discovering enormous oil reserves. This article reviews Ghana's current biomass potential drawing lessons from failed projects and initiatives of top biofuel nations to effectively implement Ghana's latest biofuel policy. A significant portion of land in Ghana remains unused, yet utilizing less than 3 % of this land would be sufficient to meet the B10/E10 biofuel target using cassava as the feedstock. A closer examination of successful biofuel initiatives in Brazil and the United States highlights common factors contributing to their achievements. These include ambitious blending mandates, substantial investments in infrastructure, technology, and research, active stakeholder participation, and the provision of fiscal incentives. While Ghana's Renewable Energy Master Plan incorporates some of these components, its current targets lack sufficient ambition.
