Recovering this waste heat potential and reusing that for process heat applications is valuable from both economic and sustainability points of view. In most cases, however, direct reuse of the recovered heat is challenging, and a temperature-lifting step using heat upgrading technologies is inevitable. Thermochemical heat transformers are a group of technologies that have gained remarkable attention for this purpose. Unlike mechanical heat pumps that use electricity as the driving force, thermochemical machines use thermal energy to upgrade the waste heat streams, which is an advantage in many cases. Additionally, some of these offer much higher temperatures than those of heat pumps, giving them a broader applicability. This comprehensive review evaluates the effectiveness and potential use of thermochemical heat transformers, exploring their potential for recovering industrial waste heat in various applications, with a certain focus on temperatures below 200^oC where both waste heat streams and process heating demand are most abundant. The literature survey indicates that these systems have mostly been used for lower temperatures in the past, but with further innovations and technological advances, their coverable temperature in different technological classes has increased significantly, making them highly advantageous for waste heat recovery and upgrading in diverse industries. The deep insight that this article provides into this technological transition, the pros and cons of various classes of these, and their development perspectives, make it a must-read piece of research for scientists, engineers, and professionals working in this area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"215 ","pages":"Article 115598"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-cost approaches like residue-retention on permanent-beds with AM-fungi (AMF), can boost productivity, carbon-sequestration, and reduce energy and carbon footprints in water-scarce semi-arid areas. Current study quantified the crop and water productivity, energy and monetary budgeting, carbon-footprints, and carbon-sequestration of three planting-methods (PMs) and five Zn-fertilization practices (ZFPs) in pearl millet-wheat cropping system (PWCS). Results showed that BP + R + AMF (Bed-planting + residue-retention + AMF) registered 19.6, 15.4, 15.2, 20.6 and 16.3 % higher system-productivity, energy-output, carbon-output, SOC-stock, and net-returns in PWCS over FB-R (Flat-bed with no-residues), respectively. BP + R + AMF also registered significantly lower water-footprints by 21.2, 18.3 and 19.5 % in pearl millet, wheat, and PWCS over FB-R, respectively.

Overall, planting on permanent-beds with dual crop-basis residue-retention at 2.5 t ha⁻¹ crop⁻¹ coupled with AMF (BP + R + AMF) as well as combined Zn-fertilization may significantly enhance the system-productivity, net-returns, water-productivity, bioenergy-output, carbon-output, and carbon-stock in PWCS compared to FB-R and no-Zn.

This study introduces a conceptual design and optimization of a small-scale OWC. A finite volume method (FVM) based wave modelling approach integrated with a volume of fluid (VOF) method is proposed to model and simulate the two-phase, viscous, time dependent, turbulent flow in a numerical wave flume (NWF) for realistic representation of wave propagation around the OWC model. Once validated against theoretical and experimental data with an error of 0.74 %, the present numerical methodology is extended to comprehensively optimize the OWC model by sampling varying geometric dimensions under different wave flow conditions using Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS). This approach aims to not only improve efficiency but also to enhance the understanding of how these parameters affect overall performance. This is supported by machine learning analyses, such as feature importance and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), which facilitate to understand the effect of each input parameter. Key findings include the ratio of chamber height to chamber length (<em>H</em>_<em>1</em><em>/L</em>) exhibiting the greatest impact on OWC efficiency, while the ratio of channel height to channel length (<em>H</em>_<em>2</em><em>/l</em>) showing the least significance. Additionally, the response surface analysis reveals the optimum ranges of the parameters and highlights the necessity of multi-variable optimization utilized in this study.

This approach is crucial to establishing research priorities that effectively address SDGs 7 and 13. Despite its recognized importance, the existing literature offers no comprehensive overview and guidance on effective multi-stakeholder engagement in EU-funded climate and energy research. This study shows that a scoping review, combined with stakeholder co-design workshops, can reveal key gaps and inform guidelines for robust multi-stakeholder engagement. A systematic review of 23 published articles using criteria drawn from the broader stakeholder engagement literature found that engagement terminology is rarely defined and often used interchangeably, indicating a gap between the literature and its real-world application. This study also provides guidelines for conducting effective stakeholder engagement, drawing upon the broader stakeholder engagement literature, the outcomes of the scoping review, and lessons learned during the European Climate and Energy Modelling forum project. Three co-design workshops engaging 85 stakeholders conducted in 2021 and 2022 uncovered 83 research priorities centred on policy, regulation, and using energy and climate models to inform policymaking. These research priorities are provided as an open data set.

This study explored to address the poor performance of the SMFC by coupling it with a free-floating aquatic plant, Water lettuce. Growth of the plant balanced the catholyte pH in the range of 7.2–7.6, increased the ionic conductivity by 60 %, stabilized the sub-surface water oxygen level, and boosted the cathodic potential by ∼102 mV and ∼49 mV in open and close circuit operations mode, respectively.

Policymakers considering new incentives to attract wind energy projects are challenged by a lack of modern information on the relative cost of wind development and how it is impacted by such policies. Previous research regarding the impact of incentives is limited, dated and often contradictory. This study addresses this information gap by developing a detailed cost model to evaluate wind development costs across the western United States. Despite nearly equivalent wind resources, results indicate New Mexico has costs between 11.7 and 15.9 percent lower than Montana, Colorado and Wyoming, the next lowest-cost states. This advantage occurs due to a unique bonding incentive and despite a tax burden higher than all but Wyoming's. Cost patterns are consistent with observed development patterns over the past decade, suggesting understanding state incentive impacts on relative development costs can aid design of more effective programs to attract development. Findings also suggest understanding the cost structure of wind developments is crucial to resolving contradictions in previous econometric studies. Examples are presented to demonstrate how cost models can serve as testbeds to identify more attractive development policies while avoiding reduced state revenues, and how lesser used programs like bonding can significantly reduce development costs to attract greater wind energy development. The methodology presented can be adapted to other regions, providing a tool for policymakers to increase renewable energy development and aid in achieving sustainable development goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"215 ","pages":"Article 115572"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143562870","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 nature of these reinforcements depends on the scale and depth of demand reductions and flexibility services available to solve constraints.

Using insights from transaction cost economics, this review adapts a theoretical model to analyse the contractual arrangements underpinning both local energy markets and the delivery of flexibility services therein, and the end-to-end process of flexibility service delivery. By facilitating the identification, analysis, and comparison of the relative magnitude of associated transaction and production cost variables, it helps identify factors which determine their viability. This model is tested on Great Britain's Local Energy Oxfordshire project (Project LEO) which sought to establish the potential for flexibility service provision to support the transition to a renewables-based electricity system by developing a proof-of-concept local energy market. It reveals transaction costs which significantly outweigh contract revenues at this stage of market development. Standardisation and regulation lower transaction costs in the establishment of local energy markets, while automation and aggregation lower transaction costs and increase contract revenues of flexibility service delivery. Support needs to be appropriately targeted to lower these costs vis-à-vis network reinforcements, and the overall costs of transitioning to net zero.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"215 ","pages":"Article 115549"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143551803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
