...Samuel Osei-Gyebi; Festus O. Egwaikhide Environmental taxes push countries away from carbon-intensive energy, while renewable energy pulls them closer to green energy options. This synergy can be important for environmental quality but little is known about their joint impact on ecological...

.... This analysis highlights the trade-off between maximising drying rate and maintaining energy efficiency. Collector augmentation was achieved by configuring one, two, or three ETCs, inclined at site latitude to maximise solar absorption (Wang et al., 2023). Studies have shown that evacuated tubes...

..., the challenges associated with low-carbon energy technologies and so-called ‘circular economy’ interventions are recounted. Various adaptation issues are discussed, alongside climate-respecting engineering design and associated challenges. Across the board, climate change standards – such as those approved...

... (a 28.7% gain), while the combined mass and heat recovery approach elevated SCP to 1026.2 W/kg (70.8% improvement). COP values improved accordingly, indicating enhanced energy efficiency. Further analysis showed that increasing cooling water temperatures (14–26 °C) reduced SCP from 340 to 280.5 W/kg...

...-of-the-art wind turbine rated power capacity has increased 300 times since 1985 (0.05 MW to almost 20 MW today) (U.S. Energy Information Agency, 2021). Offshore wind turbine designs of more than 20 MW are expected in the very near future as offshore winds provide higher average wind speeds and lower...

...Petros Theodorou The maturation of renewable energy technologies has brought them to a point of ‘socket parity’, enabling direct competition with traditional energy generation. However, this milestone introduces a critical challenge named price cannibalisation, where excess renewable supply leads...

...Mohamad Khalil, PhD; Yousef G. Akhlaghi, PhD; Hui Ben, PhD; Mohammad Royapoor, PhD; Sara Walker, PhD Buildings are complex thermodynamic entities that account for a large proportion of energy consumption. This work explores the application of data-driven models in order to forecast the building...

...Bishal Dey, PhD; Bidesh Roy, PhD; Subir Datta, PhD Ethanol is recognised as a fuel in India due to its potential to help the nation’s ecology and energy security. In order to reap the rewards of ethanol, an Ethanol Blending Programme has been initiated. Currently, India intends to begin using...

... to ‘transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems’ in order to reach net zero GHG emissions (i.e. carbon neutrality) by 2050, and to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. This assessment sets out the background to what needs to be achieved at future annual COP summits...

...Masooma Batool; Laila Shahzad; Arifa Tahir This study focuses on understanding municipal wastewater (MWW) constituents and assessing technological options to harness the energy content of wastewater in developing countries. There are numerous research studies related to water treatment technologies...

...Caron Malone; Claire Scullion A major area of focus for anyone involved in the energy transition to net zero is attracting, growing and retaining new talent with the appropriate skills that will enable delivery of a net zero target for Northern Ireland by 2050. This article explores the ways...

...Giulia M. Mininni; Ralitsa Hiteva A global endeavour to accelerate reduction of the carbon dioxide emissions (‘decarbonisation’) of the economy and to encourage the use of diverse non-fossil-fuel energy vectors, including hydrogen, is underway. Hydrogen transitions are mainly driven...

...Komal Siwach, MSc; Harsh Kumar, MTech; Nekram Rawal, PhD; Kuldeep Singh, PhD; Anubhav Rawat, PhD Human habitats are one of the major consumers of energy. Therefore, in the current age of increasing carbon dioxide footprints, analysing energy efficiency of a building is important and is the subject...
