Despite extensive efforts to improve psychrophilic anaerobic digestion, the existing literature is diverse and fragmented, limiting the understanding of the roles and effects of biotic and abiotic shifts critical to these systems. To address this gap, this study reviewed critical issues for the transition from mesophilic/thermophilic to psychrophilic conditions, focusing on the biotic and abiotic factors, including the physical and chemical properties of multiphase systems, mass/electrons transfer, microbial community structures, enzyme activities, and the thermodynamics and kinetics of biochemical reactions. Additionally, various reactor configurations for psychrophilic anaerobic digestion, such as granular sludge and biofilm-based reactors, anaerobic membrane bioreactors, multi-stage anaerobic reactors, direct interspecies electron transfer-assisted reactors, and bioelectrochemical system-assisted reactors, were evaluated and compared. Particular emphasis was placed on the design principles and configurations of these reactors. This review aimed to bridge the gap between reactor design strategies and their underlying mechanisms, offering valuable insights to guide and optimize psychrophilic anaerobic digestion in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"226 ","pages":"Article 116281"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementing effective thermal management strategies and safety measures to prevent overheating and ensure the safe and reliable operation of batteries in numerous applications is decisive. Reduced battery lifespan, safety hazards, performance degradation, loss of functionality, environmental impacts, and costs of replacement or repair are the detrimental impacts of battery operation in electric cars, renewable energy storage facilities, consumer appliances, and grid-scale energy storage systems. Renewable energy-based products can be effectively utilized for Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS) in several ways, confirming the ideal performance, longevity, and protection of batteries. The analysis demonstrates that renewable-integrated BTMS reduced peak battery temperatures by up to 15 °C, significantly lowering the risk of thermal runaway and extending battery lifespan. Solar-powered ventilation systems decreased cooling energy consumption by nearly 70 % compared with conventional methods, while biomass-driven PCMs maintained battery temperatures below 60 °C under high C-rate discharges. By integrating renewable energy-based products for BTMS, such as solar-powered ventilation systems, geothermal cooling technologies, wind-powered ventilation/cooling systems, hydroelectric facilities, and biomass energy-driven systems, the integration of renewable energy-based products enables maintainable and systematic operation of battery systems while dropping dependence on non-renewable energy resources and diminishing environmental influence. Geothermal-PVT hybrid systems improved overall energy efficiency by 53 % and decreased total energy consumption by 25.7 %, whereas hydrogen-based cooling stabilized battery temperatures below 30.5 °C with thermal gradients under 7 °C. Hybrid RES–BTMS configurations reduced the levelized cost of energy to 0.094 USD/kWh and lowered greenhouse gas emissions by up to 3.5 million kg CO₂ annually, indicating substantial environmental and economic benefits. The identified trend provides a practical pathway to attain the required specifications for environmentally benign, economic, and efficient performance. The proposed concept of renewable-energy-based BTMS enables electricity, material, and fuel production as a solution for future operations in the BTMS. A comprehensive examination of the concept has been presented in the review.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"226 ","pages":"Article 116247"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The EU Commission demands that renewable hydrogen (carriers) must achieve a 70 % reduction in emissions over their life cycle compared to fossil hydrogen. In recent years, numerous studies have therefore been published that evaluate the production and subsequent transportation of gaseous and liquid hydrogen (GH2/LH2), ammonia (NH3), liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC), methanol, dimethylether and substitute natural gas (SNG) from an ecological perspective. Given the high degree of freedom in the methodology of life cycle assessment (LCA), however, their results are highly dependent on the respective system boundaries and assumptions. This review summarizes and discusses the different findings of those studies, aiming at identifying trends and main drivers in greenhouse gas emissions. The results show that renewable gases can contribute to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to natural gas. The main driver of emissions is the electricity mix used for hydrogen production and subsequent processing. This shows that the production of GH2 has lower emissions than other derivatives. Due to the low energy density, this advantage predominates up to a transport distance of 1500 km. Beyond these distances hydrogen (carriers) with high energy densities, such as LH2 or NH3, prove to be advantageous. LOHCs have very high emissions due to the energy-intensive dehydrogenation process. Previous studies have shown great potential for emissions reduction, particularly with hydrogen derivatives that require green carbon. However, further research is needed as many production pathways have not yet been considered.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"226 ","pages":"Article 116275"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the recalcitrant character of LCB, requires physicochemical pretreatment, which generates some toxic inhibitors (furans, carboxylic acids, and phenolic compounds). These inhibitors inhibit microbial growth during fermentation by disrupting cellular redox balance, damaging membranes integrity, and inhibiting metabolic activities, leading to decreased ethanol yield and productivity. This review discusses generation and toxicity mechanism of these inhibitors, and detoxification strategies such as physical, chemical, and biological to hybrid approaches. It also highlights microbial bioprospecting, metabolic engineering, and adaptive evolution for developing robust inhibitor-tolerant strains. Integration of systems biology tools (such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and fluxomics) with artificial intelligence (AI)-based modeling is emphasized for revealing intricate cellular stress response pathway to guide précised strain engineering. Key challenges are, optimizing pretreatment method to minimize inhibitors, while maximizing cellulose accessibility for low-lignin biomass, however for high-lignin biomass an efficient cost-effective detoxification strategy is essential. Moreover, microbial inhibitors tolerance and fermentation strategies for overcoming synergistic toxicity are also critical. Therefore, future research should focus on integrating multi-omics approaches, statistical/AI-driven optimization, and leveraging synthetic biology for developing commercially viable and environmentally friendly 2G bioethanol biorefineries.
