This study utilizes an unprecedented decade-long empirical dataset from the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) to clarify the long-term emission dynamics and explore operational mitigation strategies. Five annual sampling campaigns post-impoundment revealed an annual emission of 359 ± 78 GgC·yr<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> of CO<sub>2</sub> (331 gC·m<sup>-</sup><sup>2</sup>·yr<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>) and 3.81 ± 1.05 GgC·yr<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup> of CH<sub>4</sub> (3.51 gC·m<sup>-</sup><sup>2</sup>·yr<sup>-</sup><sup>1</sup>), primarily through air-water diffusion and regulated by terrigenous carbon inputs. CMIP6-driven machine-learning long-term projections indicate a divergent future pathway: CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are expected to decline by up to 69.7 GgC by the 2090s, potentially turning the TGR into a net carbon sink; conversely, CH<sub>4</sub> emissions are projected to rise due to climate-driven external loading. Integrating these insights into the Water-Energy-Carbon (W-E-C) nexus, a theoretically feasible strategy was exhibited that raising the summer water level by 5 m could reduce the hydropower carbon intensity by up to 5.1 % without compromising electricity generation.

To address this, a concise model is established to simulate the heat and mass transfer process and continuous passive cooling performance of polyacrylamide/sodium alginate hydrogels integrated with calcium chloride, and validated with root mean square error less than 2 °C and mean relative error around 3 %, demonstrating enhanced accuracy and reliability. Then, a quantitative analysis of the impacts of salt content, water diffusion coefficient, and protective membranes on cooling performance indicates that moderate salt content and diffusion coefficients enable sustained efficient passive cooling, while the protective membrane's mass transfer resistance is 20 times lower than the air-side resistance, exerting negligible influence. Moreover, a 7-day simulation under different six climates demonstrates that power conversion efficiency relatively increases vary from −0.15 % and 1.03 %, and the greatest cooling effects are in subtropical monsoon and Mediterranean climate with average temperature reductions by 2.3 °C and 2.7 °C respectively.

While biogas recirculation improves methane production and substrate utilization, the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain unclear. This study explores these mechanisms using metagenomics in a novel two-stage system utilizing acidogenic gas. Biogas recirculation in the methanogenic stage increased average methane yield from 554 to 608 mL/g VS as the flow rate rose from 0 to 0.4 L/min, with a peak of 696 mL/g VS at 0.4 L/min. However, the methane yield decreased to 586 mL/g VS at 0.8 L/min. Recirculation enriched fermentative bacteria, boosting soluble metabolite production but slightly reducing organic matter removal. Although dominant microbial communities were significantly unaltered, syntrophic bacteria such as norank_f__norank_o__MBA03 (8.8–12.2 %) were enriched, strengthening microbial networks. Different methanogenic genera emerged, enabling rapid metabolite consumption via hydrogenotrophic, acetoclastic, and methylotrophic pathways. Metagenomic analysis revealed that recirculation upregulated key functions like signal transduction, cell motility, aromatic degradation, methanogenesis, and possible methane oxidation. This promoted carbon substrate availability and methane production while highlighting potential for valuable biochemical recovery from volatile fatty acids, supporting the circular economy and enhancing the cost-effectiveness of biogas systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":419,"journal":{"name":"Renewable Energy","volume":"261 ","pages":"Article 125310"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146035661","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}
