However, its implementation faces persistent challenges in terms of technical, economic, regulatory, social, and environmental aspects. This review synthesises these barriers and evaluates integrated solutions using a multi-dimensional analytical framework. The study employs thematic analysis of over 100 peer-reviewed articles and international reports published between 2018 and 2024, focusing on cross-sectoral innovations and policy mechanisms. Although lithium-ion batteries are widely adopted, their scalability is constrained by limited raw material availability (e.g., lithium and cobalt), high production costs, and end-of-life recycling challenges. Hydrogen storage offers 20% higher capacity, but encounters cost and infrastructure barriers. Economically, renewable installations range from $1200 to $2000/kW, which is higher than fossil alternatives. Meanwhile, licensing delays can extend project timelines by 30%. Social resistance persists due to perceived inequities in the distribution of benefits. Proposed solutions include smart grids that enhance efficiency by up to 15%, perovskite solar cells with 22% higher energy conversion rates, green financing schemes, and inclusive community engagement strategies. Case studies from Germany and China demonstrate how coordinated policies and public-private collaboration accelerate the integration of renewable energy. The novelty lies in its unified framework connecting technological innovation, governance, and equity in energy access. Findings underscore the importance of synchronising policy, infrastructure, and public participation for a just and sustainable energy transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100414"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145026313","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}

Conventional approaches encompass a range of technologies, including absorption, adsorption, membrane separation, and cryogenic processes, as well as combustion-based strategies such as pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxy-fuel combustion techniques. They are widely implemented at an industrial scale but frequently face challenges due to high energy demands, operational complexity, and limited scalability.

The review critically evaluates key ECC strategies such as pH-swing processes, redox-active carriers, bipolar membrane electrodialysis, CO₂ electroreduction, and electrochemical mineralization. Advancements in catalyst development, membrane engineering, and system integration are assessed concerning CO₂ capture efficiency, Faradaic efficiency, selectivity, and scalability.

In this sense, direct adaptive controllers present advantageous benefits in comparison to controllers with fixed gains because they can update their gains online in response to changes in system parameters and exogenous disturbances. However, adaptive controllers have many parameters to design, requiring a very experienced designer to configure them to obtain satisfactory performance.

The parametrization procedure considers the controller stability constraints, tracking errors, and physical control action synthetization. The systematic methodology is evaluated on a robust adaptive model reference proportional integral controller applied to grid-injected current control of a voltage source inverter with an LCL filter. The proposed method surpasses the performance of 9 chaotic HHO.
