Key parameters considered include the water’s flow rate, grout material, run time, return air temperature, and borehole configuration. A series of trials were conducted to review the system’s cooling effectiveness by employing two types of grout materials, construction, and demolition (C&amp;D) waste, and the surrounding soil in four distinct borehole layouts. A linear regression model was used to assess how critical factors affected the system’s efficiency for each type of grout. An analysis of variance was also performed to determine which factors had the most significant impact. The study found that factors such as borehole length, system efficiency, and thermal characteristics significantly influenced the GSHP system's thermal performance. The findings revealed that the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the heat pump and the overall system increased with the number of boreholes and volumetric flow rate. At the same time, it decreased with the rise in initial air temperature and extended operation run time. The mean COP for the GSHP arrangement utilized in thermal management with C&amp;D waste as grout material was determined to be 8.1% lower than the value achieved when using the surrounding soil as the grout material. The results signify that utilizing a GSHP arrangement has the potential to be a favorable choice for cooling purposes. The system is effective, offering considerable energy savings compared to traditional air-conditioning systems. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the system is determined by various elements, such as the length of the borehole, overall system efficiency, and thermal properties. Therefore, it is vital to carefully consider these factors when designing and installing a GSHP system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949821X24000747/pdfft?md5=5c8c401137a37018cf129d882d2cbad8&pid=1-s2.0-S2949821X24000747-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962490","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}

By employing the panel-corrected standard errors approach, the analysis takes into account contextual and institutional factors, as well as regional specificities, for the period extending from 2000 to 2021. This research elucidates the connections among energy transition, FinTech, and income inequality, emphasizing their significance for economic progress and clean energy access. The findings reveal significant inequality in the outcomes of SSA countries, with an average Gini index of 43.197, indicating that most countries are unequal. This study reveals a notable connection between transitioning to renewable energy sources and a reduction in income inequality, with a one-unit increase in the energy transition indicator resulting in a 5.10% decrease in inequality. Moreover, FinTech is also found to contribute to a reduction in income inequality, with a 1.31% decrease observed for every unit increase in the FinTech indicator. The analysis also revealed a weak, yet statistically significant, link between population density and income inequality, with a one-unit increase in inequality of 0.00632%. Notably, industrial value added is found to be an influential factor with a statistically significant coefficient of 0.129. The key implications of the study emphasize the importance of redistributive policies, financial inclusion, and the promotion of renewable energy sources in constructing more inclusive economic systems. Furthermore, the study underscores the significant value of accurate energy production prediction for informed decision-making in energy planning and policy-making on regional and global scales.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100957,"journal":{"name":"Next Energy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949821X24000796/pdfft?md5=78f9e8df09bc0e9b59e2b0218b63ca0f&pid=1-s2.0-S2949821X24000796-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141950544","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}

It synthesizes research on how droughts, floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, and wildfires each initiate a chain reaction within the interconnected domains of water, energy, and carbon. Key insights include the analysis of drought impacts, like in California, where hydroelectric power's share dropped from 18% to 7%, leading to a 34%increase in emissions from natural gas plants. In Europe, flooding led to operational challenges for power plants, with a projected loss of 0.6–4.6 TWh in energy generation by 2030 due to water temperature rises. The 2023 European heatwave saw Spain's energy demand spike by 20%, driven by increased use of air conditioning, and a corresponding 15–20% rise in carbon emissions in affected countries due to greater reliance on fossil fuels. The review emphasizes the need for integrated resilience strategies, leveraging the provided quantitative data to argue for policies that address these interdependent challenges. It urges for a nuanced understanding of the WEC Nexus's dynamics to inform more effective responses to the rising tide of climate change-induced extreme weather events. Furthermore, this review expands its examination to include cases from developing countries, showcasing how their unique challenges and responses within the WEC Nexus contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of global resilience strategies against extreme weather.

Heat pump systems come in a variety of designs, including system configurations, component (e.g., heat exchanger, compressor, working fluid) selection, and operation strategies that have a significant effect on performance and cost. In this article, we review current progress in technology development and in the methods used for techno-economic performance assessments of domestic (i.e., residential) heat pumps in the range of a few ∼kWs.

Then, drawing from widely used performance indicators and published data on hundreds of commercially available heat pump products and components over a wide range of operating conditions, a detailed methodology is presented for obtaining performance and cost estimates. A synopsis of potential synergies with other heating, cooling and storage technologies is presented, demonstrating that appropriate integration and operation are required to maximise cost-effectiveness and emission reduction capabilities. Furthermore, whole-energy system implications of widespread heat electrification and current policy measures supporting electric heat pumps in different countries are discussed.

Among these fuel cells, Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have the potential for use in automotive applications due to their low operating temperatures as well as high power density. Furthermore, these PEMFC power sources are also available in various power ranges and capacities for diverse vehicle applications. However, selection of optimized configurations for truck applications is a challenging task due to cost-sensitivity and competitiveness in the Indian market. Therefore, considering the above scenario, a simulation study for PEMFC performance with vehicle operating conditions is necessary to finalize the suitable fuel cell power capacity for truck applications.

This ambitious roadmap focuses on economic diversification, global engagement, and enhanced quality of life. The electricity sector, with a 90 GW installed capacity as of 2020, is central to decarbonization, aiming for a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030. Saudi Energy Efficiency Centre’s Energy Efficiency Action Plan aims to reduce power intensity by 30% by 2030, while the NEOM project showcases a 4 GW green hydrogen facility, reflecting the country’s commitments to sustainability and technological innovation. Despite being the largest oil producer and user, Saudi Arabia must align with international CO<sub>2</sub> emission reduction targets. Currently, there is no state-of-the-art energy policy framework to guide a sustainable energy transition. In the academic literature, there is also lack of effort in developing comprehensive energy policy framework. This study provides a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the entire energy industry, spanning from the stage of production to consumption, incorporating sustainability factors into the wider discussion on energy policy. It establishes a conceptual framework for the energy policy of Saudi Arabia that corresponds with Vision 2030. A total of hundred documents (e.g., 25 original articles and 75 industry reports) were retrieved from Google Scholar, Web of Science Core Collection Database, and Google Search and then analyzed.
