In this context, heat pump technologies play a key role in having the ability to be powered by decarbonized energy carriers (i.e., electricity from renewables for vapor compression cycle, hydrogen for absorption cycle, etc.), as well as harnessing renewable or waste heat, in different applications (i.e., industry, district heating networks, and civil sector). The European Commission considers the life cycle assessment method one of the leading methodologies for environmental metrics. Many scientific studies related to analyzing the environmental profile of heat pumps have been written using this method. With the aim to investigate the outcomes achieved and modeling approaches applied, this study reviews existing environmental life cycle assessment studies of (i) high-temperature, (ii) large-size (over 300 kW<sub>th</sub>), and (iii) medium and small-size heat pumps. In total, 19 articles containing 637 scenarios were found in the literature to be relevant to the research aim. The study analyzes different heat pump technologies (i.e., vapor compression, absorption, and indirect Stirling cycles). The analysis shows that the use phase is the main contributor: (i) average value of 94.6% for the global warming potential, (ii) 69.9% for abiotic depletion potential indicator (metals and minerals). The analysis reveals that life cycle assessment studies apply a rather narrow approach and lack variability in modeling. For future research, it is recommended that the thermodynamic behavior of the heat pumps be properly simulated or monitored. In addition, a stochastic evaluation shall be included in the analysis to reduce and highlight the uncertainty of the results, especially the global sensitivity analysis. Finally, high-temperature heat pumps shall also be investigated using the consequential approach to understand better the environmental consequences of installation in an industrial production process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37131,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management-X","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100947"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519733","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}

Currently, the focus of advanced technologies for bioethanol production is on the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into renewable energy for transportation as it offers a low cost of investment and non-pollution bioprocesses. However, the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass has several challenges, including the high cost of pretreatment, the recalcitrant nature of the biomass and the requirement for robust microbes to ferment various types of sugars. Informations on the subject were achieved through a literature search using various electronic databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and others. From literature findings, few strategies such as separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF), simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF), and consolidated bioprocessing (CBP); were found established to overcome these challenges, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of the bioconversion process and minimizing the overall cost of production. CBP was found to be the most promising strategy as direct production of ethanol from pretreated corn cob yielded 11.1 g/L ethanol without the addition of external hydrolytic catalyst. Various analytical techniques are commonly used to quantify bioethanol in a sample, and these methods were theoretically analyzed in relation to established theories. Currently, gas chromatography is known to be the most effective approach with limits of detection typically around 0.099 mg/mL, demonstrating excellent linearity and recovery rates between 91% and 109%. This paper aims to highlight the efficiency of every strategy involved in the bioconversion process and provide insights into every suitable analytical technique that can be employed to ensure the sustainability of biofuel by allowing researchers to improve the productivity and quality of bioethanol, thus promoting its role as a feasible alternative fuel.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37131,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management-X","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100933"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143488777","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}

Feedstock was mixed tyres, which is a mixture of light, medium and heavy tyre at 1:1:1 ratio.

The properties of the mixed tyre pyrolytic oil (MixTPO), such as higher heating value (HHV), density, flash point, etc, were analysed and compared with petroleum fuel such as diesel and kerosene. Although MixTPO had a high calorific value of 42.00 MJ/kg, other properties such as viscosity, flash point, water content do not allow its direct use as an engine fuel. Physical properties (Surface area) and chemical properties (elemental analysis, ash content and composition) of the pyrolytic char were examined.

However, high capital costs remain a challenge for nuclear power plants (NPP), where repurposing coal power plant sites (CPP) with existing infrastructure is one way to reduce these costs. Additionally, Brownfield sites — previously developed or underutilized lands often impacted by industrial activity — present another compelling alternative. This study introduces a novel multi-objective optimization methodology, leveraging combinatorial search to evaluate over 30,000 potential NPP sites in the United States. Our approach addresses gaps in the current practice of assigning pre-determined weights to each site attribute that could lead to bias in the ranking. Each site is assigned a performance-based score, derived from a detailed combinatorial analysis of its site attributes. The methodology generates a comprehensive database comprising site locations (inputs), attributes (outputs), site score (outputs), and the contribution of each attribute to the site score. We then use this database to train a neural network model, enabling rapid predictions of nuclear siting suitability across any location in the United States. Our findings highlight that CPP sites are highly competitive for nuclear development, but some Brownfield sites are able to compete with them. Notably, four CPP sites in Ohio, North Carolina, and New Hampshire, and two Brownfield sites in Florida and California rank among the most promising locations. These results underscore the potential of integrating machine learning and optimization techniques to transform nuclear siting, paving the way for a cost-effective and sustainable energy future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37131,"journal":{"name":"Energy Conversion and Management-X","volume":"26 ","pages":"Article 100923"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512681","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}
