This systematic literature review focused on identifying advanced analytical methods that have the capability of enabling informed decision-making in optimising steel ladle logistics—a key process within steel-making that influences energy use and emissions. The scientific landscape has State-of-the-Art optimiser algorithms built using mathematical models to generate ladle logistics schedules. The evaluation of such decision support systems is generally carried out using various techniques. This review uniquely highlights how discrete event simulation (DES) can be integrated with optimization models for robust validation of scheduling decisions. This paper explores validation techniques incorporating historical operational data and simulation modelling to ensure that theoretical optimization translates to practical, real-world applications. Key sustainability indicators, such as <em>CO</em><sub>2</sub> emission intensity and energy consumption per tonne of steel, are identified and assessed for their role in aligning steel production with environmental goals such that they can be adapted to validate the levels reported by the optimization model against the simulation model. The findings reveal that integrating DES alongside the optimization model enhances the feasibility and robustness of scheduling models. This approach supports the industry's shift towards sustainable practices by providing decision-makers with reliable tools for optimising logistics, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34618,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Engineering and Technology","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100907"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143534108","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}

The limited calcium concentration and high iron content pose challenges with regard to CO<sub>2</sub> mineralization, and the optimal conditions for mineralization have not been explored well. In the present study, three different temperatures (25 °C, 45 °C, and 65 °C) at high pressure of 10 bar were employed to study the mineralization potential of red mud. The red mud mineralized at 45 °C outperformed others. After mineralization, compressive strength increased by 11.6 %, 64 %, and 50 % at 25 °C, 45 °C, and 65 °C, respectively. A marginal increase in calcite precipitation and noticeable reduction (720–510 nm) in critical pore size was observed due to mineralization at 45 °C. Microstructural study revealed that the hematite phase in the red mud provided nucleation site for the carbonate phase, contributing to a denser microstructure. The agglomeration of mineralized phases indicated a marginal increase in true density, leading to a denser microstructure and higher strength after mineralization.

Bioplastics are produced mainly from 1st generation feedstocks that compete with food production for agricultural resources. Recently, microalgae have gained interest as a feedstock for bioplastics production. Microalgae can be used in various ways to produce different types of bioplastics including various biodegradable and drop-in bioplastics. However, not much attention has been paid to different routes of bioplastics production from microalgae. This review examines the potential of using microalgae as a feedstock for bioplastics, with a focus on three key polymer synthesis routes: 1) use of natural polymers synthesised by microalgae, 2) chemical synthesis of polymers from microalgae-derived feedstocks and 3) microbial synthesis of polymers from microalgae-derived feedstocks. The technical and economic challenges associated with each route are analysed. The optimal route of using microalgae as a feedstock for bioplastics largely depends on the economics of the process. Conducting comparable feasibility studies for various routes is recommended to identify the most economically viable route for utilising microalgae to produce bioplastics. Microalgae has great potential for the bioplastic industry, however, to progress the research to commercialisation, future research emphasis should be placed on investigating various routes of utilising microalgae for bioplastics along with optimising the process for enhanced biomass productivity and polymer yield, characterising the produced polymers, investigating the co-production of bioplastics with other products, and integrating the production of bioplastics with the wastewater treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34618,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Engineering and Technology","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100922"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143527057","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}

Effectively utilizing renewable energy to address blackouts is challenging for governments due to the intermittent nature of renewables, peak demand variations, and potential excess generation. Therefore, this study examines the techno-economic feasibility of a hybrid renewable microgrid to mitigate power outages in large-scale residential areas under various outage scenarios. Real demand and capacity shortage data were imported into HOMER software to optimize the grid-connected system using a cycle charging dispatch strategy. Different scenarios were considered, including outages based on existing conditions, during renewable resource peaks, and during demand peaks. Results show that if the government schedules outages during sunny hours to compensate for capacity shortages using photovoltaics, large-scale renewables become more cost-effective. The optimal solution supplies more than 45% of the 591 MW h/day demand with renewables by installing 49.8 MW of PV, 22.5 MW of wind turbines, a 34.5 MW h battery bank, and a 5 MW electrolyzer plant. This solution results in an energy cost of $0.07/kWh and less than 7.7% excess electricity, improving the annual capacity shortage to less than 1% of demand. Additionally, more than 220 tons/year of green hydrogen is produced by utilizing over 10 GW h/year of excess power, justifying the slight cost increase associated with the electrolyzer.
