Abstract The integrated approach to managing the fundamental resources for human life, namely, water, energy, food, and environment as their irreplaceable foundation, presents a profound opportunity sustainable development. However, despite huge potential, systems (iWEFEs) are rarely put into practice because of, among others, complexity lack of uniform openly available models describe, configure simulate such systems. To fill this gap, we present open modeling framework (OWEFEs) based on...

Abstract Drilling operations generate CO2 emissions from diesel fuel used to power generators and other equipment on drilling rigs as extraction activities create around 10-15% of total energy-related globally, an equivalent 5 billion tonnes greenhouse gas emissions. Improving operational efficiency is crucial for reducing overall combating climate change. Therefore, recognizing more efficient approaches solutions with reduced carbon footprints essential in creating future business...

Organic waste generation is constantly increasing due to industrialization and various treatment processes. Nowadays, anaerobic digestion, as a green technology, widely used convert organic waste, into methane, subsequently, bioenergy. In this study, our main objective was evaluate the feasibility of applying digestion treat Lebanese olive by-products, in particular pomace. Biochemical fractionation biomass showed high contents cellulose (55.4% total solids) lignin (21.3% which could limit...

Treatment and management of lactoserum from dairy industry has become a global issue. In fact, generated effluents have high organic loads (lactose, protein, vitamin, minerals ... etc.) constituting major source environmental pollution. sustainable green approach, anaerobic digestion is considered promising solution for the treatment or cheese whey. At first, we conducted biochemical characterization showing lactose composition 52 46 g/kg, sweet acidic whey, respectively, with an average COD...

Abstract During the exploration, production, and refining of crude oil, as well effluent treatment facilities refineries, petroleum sector produces a substantial quantity sludge. This review offers in-depth insights into methods used to treat dispose sludge today. It also explores possibility valorizing such waste while converting it sustainable energy source using anaerobic digestion technology. Aside from health concerns, random disposal untreated causes land pollution, water ecosystem...

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in world. Over 50% this mass discarded after use, becoming a significant waste source known as spent coffee grounds (SCG). SCG usage raw material for biogas production emerges with great potential. In study, we investigated biochemical composition and its potential green energy source. We demonstrated that can produce 0.1559 Nm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> CH4/kg COD...
