The increase in river temperature is at the heart of this nexus, with anthropogenic thermal pollution adding to the effect of global warming. River Water Heat Pumps can play a major role by decarbonising district heating network (DHN) while actively cooling the aquatic resource. Hence, the objective of this short communication is to identify the scientific challenges to be met and the progress to be achieved considering the current state of the art. To illustrate the point, a rapid evaluation of the potential is performed for the city of Lyon in France resulting in an achievable cooling of <em>∼</em>1.5 K which is above the minimum threshold to see an effect on aquatic ecosystem while the CO₂ savings are significant for the DHN (<em>∼</em> divided by a factor of 10). Because of its holistic nature, the impact assessment of such a system implies considering a wide diversity of indicators: energy, environmental, economics and sociological that need to be appropriately defined and quantified. In each field, progress beyond the state of the art to be performed has been identified, e.g. 4E analysis, cold water plume dispersion, integration of biodiversity in LCA.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772427124000561/pdfft?md5=bc1e91ea5b68ebbfe8f3e3b80755213a&pid=1-s2.0-S2772427124000561-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142233913","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}

Metamodeling emerges as a crucial technique in abstracting these complex relationships into a manageable analytical form. This study adopts a systematic approach to construct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) metamodels, aimed at examining the interactions within the water-energy nexus of various desalination technologies. A critical aspect of the developed methodology is the selection of sampling points that align with LCA scenarios through a tailored designed experiment (DoE) model. These scenarios, which include Reverse Osmosis (RO), Electrodialysis (ED), and Multi-Effect Distillation (MED), are evaluated using a set of indicators the Energy-Water nexus, across tradeoff nexus policies. The results signify the impact of considering the Energy-Water Nexus on optimizing desalination processes, compared to evaluating energy and water metrics independently. In policies where nexus considerations were not integrated—focusing solely on cumulative energy or exclusively on water footprint—the RO with Wind Turbine (RO[WT]) scenario emerged as the optimal solution. This configuration consumed 7.540 MJ and 1.654 m³ of water and a carbon footprint of 0.719 kg CO₂eq per cubic meter of desalinated water. Conversely, policies that incorporate a nexus approach favor the adoption of MED with Thermal Solar (MED[TS]) scenario.

However, the separation still possesses difficulty leading to mass transfer hindrance. Therefore, these catalysts can be further modified using magnetic separation techniques to develop magnetically separable catalysts. The magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are notable appealing catalysts due to huge surface area, high activity, amicable functional groups and structures, adaptable properties, conformity in pore size, and facile separation have made them desirable catalyst carriers for biodiesel synthesis.

Thermoacoustic technology has emerged as a promising energy conversion method with potential applications in various domains such as power generation, waste heat recovery, refrigeration, and air conditioning. This technology harnesses the thermodynamic properties of sound waves to convert heat into work or create cooling effects, offering simplicity, reliability, and environmental friendliness. Thermoacoustic devices, including refrigerators and engines, offer a low-carbon alternative to conventional power and refrigeration systems. With minimal mechanical components and no moving parts, they boast durability, easy maintenance, and reduced susceptibility to breakdowns. Despite the advantages, thermoacoustic technology currently faces challenges such as lower efficiency compared to traditional technologies. To achieve efficient performance, these devices depend on a comprehensive understanding of complex flow physics, which encompasses the transient nature of phenomena and the conversion of thermal and acoustic energies. This work provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in thermoacoustic technology, specifically emphasizing prime movers and refrigerators. We present insights into the working mechanisms and performance-affecting parameters of these devices, while discussing future research prospects and obstacles to commercial implementation. This review highlights the need for a deeper understanding of thermoacoustic system mechanisms, with a focus on addressing efficiency and scalability challenges. To make thermoacoustic systems more practical, research endeavors should concentrate on unraveling nonlinear phenomena, developing nonlinear thermoacoustics, and advancing transduction systems, system design, and component optimization.

This innovative model involves conducting aquaculture activities while installing photovoltaic modules on the water surface to harness solar energy for electricity generation. However, despite its rapid growth in China, this model lacks substantial scientific data support across various domains. Therefore, based on an analysis of relevant research literature, this study reviews the current development status, environmental and economic effects, as well as challenges faced by the fishery-photovoltaic complementary industry in China. The aim is to provide scientific references for promoting sustainable development within this sector. The findings reveal that existing fishery-photovoltaic complementary industry projects are primarily concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Pearl River Basin. The geographical distribution of these projects is predominantly influenced by local aquaculture areas and available solar energy resources, with a greater impact observed from the former rather than the latter. During summer months when water is shaded by photovoltaic panels, a slight decrease in the average water quality parameters across cases was observed, such as a decrease of 0.2 units in pH, a decrease of 1.06 °C in water temperature, a decrease in dissolved oxygen levels of 0.8 mg/L, inorganic nitrogen content and total phosphorus concentration dropped by 0.08 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L respectively. Conversely, there is a moderate increase noted in total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen levels. The conclusion of the effect on phytoplankton biomass is not uniform, but it will certainly reduce zooplankton biomass. The impact on the species diversity of the zooplankton community was minimal, and its direction, whether positive or negative, varied depending on the specific aquatic ecosystem. A certain degree of shade is advantageous for the cultivation of shade-loving fish. Through the strategic deployment of photovoltaic panels and the implementation of scientific stocking practices, it is possible to achieve sustained levels of fisheries production. This model also can reduce an average of 978.6 tons of CO₂ emissions per megawatt per year through energy production, thus achieving the combined goals of energy conservation and emissions reduction, and ensuring the profitability of power generation. Additionally, compared with the land utilization area of 3.66 hm² per megawatt of traditional ground-mounted photovoltaics, fishery-photovoltaic complementary only requires 1.64 hm², which can significantly save land resources by utilizing water surfaces, which mitigates the conflict between land use for agriculture and renewable energy installations.
