This paper conducts an in-depth exploration of carbon farming at the confluence advanced technology and EU policy, particularly within context European Green Deal. Emphasizing technologies readiness levels (TRL) 6–9, study critically analyzes synthesizes their practical implementation potential in agricultural sector. Methodologically, integrates a review current with analysis policy frameworks, focusing on application these alignment directives. The results demonstrate symbiotic...

Almost one billion people in the world still do not have access to electricity. Most of them live rural areas developing world. Access electricity Sub-Saharan Africa is only 28%, roughly 600 million people. The financing electrification challenging and, order accomplish higher private sector investments, new innovative business models be developed. In this paper, a approach microgrid activities proposed and investigated. approach, agriculture related businesses take lead surrounding...

In recent years, the energy sector has entered a decisive phase of transformation, driven by mounting concerns regarding climate change and recognized need to transition toward sustainable systems [...]

Sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination constitutes a successful technology for covering the potable needs of islands and coastal regions. SWRO units can be combined with renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic wind generators. Conventional small scale are not often recovery devices; however, these devices decrease drastically consumption units. Furthermore, in literature there references which prove that operation unit part-load conditions result lower specific compared to...

This paper presents a practical methodology to facilitate decision-making for the development of renewable energy community (REC) in municipality Hersonissos Crete, Greece. The impact sharing produced from renewables through direct or indirect citizen participation an enormous opportunity strengthen democracy and alleviate poverty. Triggered by latter being amongst most essential goals implementing policies towards low-carbon economies at local level, current study step-by-step building...

Currently, 1.06 billion people still do not have access to electricity, with the majority living in rural areas around world[...]

There is a global trend towards zero-energy or even positive-energy buildings, including healthcare facilities. Energy efficiency activities have been investigated and applied successfully for more than 20 years in facilities general hospitals particular. It the last decade that on-site energy production mainly from photovoltaics has considered as an extra revenue stream Back-up systems are still diesel generator-based most cases only recently there interest unifying of order to integrate...

Today, 992 million people still do not have access to electricity globally. Most live in rural areas of the developing world. In 2018, electrification rate for sub-Saharan Africa was only 27%. Furthermore, off-grid systems are projected provide 65% newly electrified population Africa. Current estimations show that average connection cost per technology is 2000–3000 USD grid extension, 500–1200 a microgrid solution, and 150–500 solar home system. The most recent studies real-world microgrids...

Water and energy are two of the most important inputs for a community to thrive. While water is dominant on earth, only 2.5% fresh over 98% that either ground or locked up in glaciers ice caps. Therefore, about 1.2% all freshwater surface which able meet human needs. About 2 billion people currently do not have sufficient access water. One solutions deployed last decades island coastal areas has been desalination. Desalination seawater brackish groundwater commercially available still...

Low-enthalpy geothermal resources (<150 °C) can be used for electricity generation and are widespread around the world, occurring at shallow depths. At same time, in many parts of there existing low-enthalpy wells that a multitude applications such as buildings’ heating agriculture-related applications. The dominant technology to convert low-grade heat is Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). autonomous polygeneration microgrid (APM) concept aims holistically meet sustainable way needs an off-grid...

Africa is a huge continent with an area equal to 30,244,049 km2 and population of over 1.3 bn. According the World Energy Outlook 2021, electrification rate for Sub-Saharan at 79% urban areas only 28% rural areas. Given low electricity infrastructure in production, transmission distribution as well very access areas, it understood that coordinated activities must take place both on-grid off-grid activities, if targets set 2030 are be met. This paper aims present challenges faced...
