Abstract
The nuclear fusion reactor presented has a quantum mechanical induction system that generates a spherical magnetic field with permanent magnetic plasma confinement properties in the plasma vessel of a fusion reactor. Starting from a plasma vessel with a very simple geometrical order that can be constructed with serial components in modular assemblies for the different subsystems, a new constellation for the magnetic field of a fusion reactor has been developed based on quantum physics to achieve permanent magnetic plasma confinement by introducing a quantum effective choreography for the intrinsic spin properties of fermions characterised by quantum number 1/2. It has been shown that forced ring oscillations over two complete periods are able to establish fluid dynamic equilibrium by exploiting the properties of fermions with electromagnetically induced forces within the plasma vessel, which requires a combination of three geometric operations: Translation, rotation and Lorentz transformation. These three transformations, also known as the Poincaré group, are a prerequisite for the validity of the general theory of relativity.

Abstract
This work analyses how uncertainty indices influence the price of crude oil and natural gas by considering both the European and the global market. To do so, we employ wavelet entropy- based measures to assess how much uncertainty indices are able to predict the dynamics of crude oil and natural gas and how much crude oil and natural gas predict the dynamics of uncertainty indices at different frequencies. Our findings suggest that crude oil and natural gas are best predicted by uncertainty indices but that the reverse is true to a lower extent with the only exception of global policy uncertainty indices. More in details, this index is able to predict the dynamics of crude oil showing again the importance of sentiment in predicting energy prices.

Abstract
As the world confronts the environmental and economic problems caused by relying on fossil fuels, a decisive shift towards renewable energy emerges. This shift, though progressing, encounters obstacles that require innovative solutions and international cooperation for a sustainable future. The combustion of these fuels contributes to climate change, air pollution, and health issues, while their extraction and use often fail to stimulate broad economic growth. Despite these challenges, progress is being made in the transition towards renewable energy. In 2021, renewable energy installations broke new records, and the share of renewable energy in global electricity supply increased from 20% to 28% over the past decade. However, there are still gaps in integrating technologies needed to reach high shares of renewables, and access to capital continues to be a challenge for renewable energies in emerging and developing economies. The aim of this study is to suggest a range of strategies to ensure a smooth shift to renewable energy. These strategies encompass the removal of intellectual property obstacles to essential renewable technologies, which could be achieved by establishing a worldwide pool for renewable energy technology. It also includes the diversification of supply chains for raw materials and components, which can be promoted through domestic production and public-private collaborations. Moreover, policy and process reforms are necessary to reduce market risks and encourage investments. This could involve the introduction of tax policies that favor renewable energy investments and the establishment of regulatory frameworks that foster the expansion of renewable energy markets. The anticipated outcomes of this study suggest a significant increase in renewable energy jobs, reaching 42 million worldwide by 2050, as projected by the International Energy Agency (IEA). However, despite this growth in renewables, fossil fuels are expected to remain a prominent part of the energy mix. By 2040, it is predicted that renewable sources will constitute over one-third of global power generation for the first time, yet the demand for petroleum and other liquid fuels could rise to 113 million barrels per day. These projections emphasize the critical need for enhanced global collaboration and focused investment in clean energy technologies to realize a future powered sustainably.

Abstract
Energy communities and small scale energy consumption and production systems are appearing more often. The quality of the energy supplied depends on the different agents. Understanding how every agent act and how can be guided is important to forecast and for planning. There are several types of energy sources that can be used directly or indirectly for production in decentralized grids. The consumer is no longer a passive costumer that pays a bill but plays an important role on the energy transition. Matching production and consumption is a challenge when using a significant share of intermittent sources and the storage is a solution.

Abstract
This project aims to produce prolytic oil, carbon black, and power while eliminating all forms of non-recyclable plastic waste with zero carbon emissions. The prolysis process will be used to conduct the research for the plastics recycling project. In this case, (1) The reactor's mechanical scraper and stirrer mechanism aid in the mixture's boiling. At the bottom, the mixture separates into carbon black and hydrocarbon vapor. (2) The first dedusting filter separates the hydrocarbon vapor that is emitted in the reactor from its dust. The contaminated hydrocarbon that is unable to make it past the heat exchanger's specially made tower filter travels back to the reactor via the dust filter as precipitation. After this contaminated hydrocarbon enters the reactor, it is heated, evaporated, and then the filtration procedure is carried out once more. Until the unclean hydrocarbon is converted to clean hydrocarbon, this process keeps on. Only pure hydrocarbon vapor is permitted to pass through the tower filter and into the condensation exchanger. (3) The clean hydrocarbon vapor condenses in the exchanger, transforms into prolitic liquid, and is gathered in prolitic oil collection tanks. The vacuum pump draws in the syn gas that does not condense and separates from the fuel during this process, and the syn gas wash tank is used to wash it. Another use of this scrubber is to stop gas flashback. The system's thermal energy requirements are satisfied by burning the syn gas that is released after scrubbing in the burner. Using a cold water cycle, the water cooling tower cools the hot steam going through the exchanger to 5 degrees, liquefying it. (4) With the help of the oil pump, the prolytic fuel that has accumulated in the prolytic oil collection tanks such as gasoline, diesel, burner fuel, and the material that settles at the bottom is fed into the distillation unit via a hose; (5) the carbon black product is utilized environmentally friendly for the production of asphalt roads, parquet flooring, automobile tires, or as fuel in thermal power plants. Waste plastic was used to make prolytic fuel. By splitting it into three phases petrol, diesel, and the material that settled at the bottom of the reactor and was used as burner fuel the distillation unit once more transformed the economic value. The distillation outputs' bottom product was utilized to provide the system with the thermal energy it needed. The system complies fully with the Green Deal.

Abstract
Tsunami dynamics and solitary waves are constructed in fractal dimensions based on the concept of product-like fractal measure. The tsunami waves are comparable to some extent to varying-speed wave equations which are used in several studies including the spreading of shallow-water wave in certain continuous depth variations, tsunami and Rayleigh waves. Nonlinear effects were studied and the associated solitary wave in fractal dimension has been derived. It was observed that the shape of the solitary wave is affected by the fractal dimension and is analogous to an asymmetric wave train. Besides, its period is long and differs from the famous Korteweg–De Vries soliton. Such a deformation in the wave profile results in a steep wave front configuration which is observed during large tsunamis such as the 2011 Tohoku tsunami and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Our analysis shows also that short tsunamis wave could drastically enhance the maximum flow velocities, a result which is in agreement with several analytical and experimental studies.

Abstract
In recent years, the pressing need to address the challenges posed by escalating waste generation and resource depletion has propelled the concept of a circular economy into the spotlight. The circular economy paradigm strives to create a regenerative and sustainable system by minimizing waste generation, maximizing resource efficiency, and promoting closed-loop material flows. Waste management, as a crucial component of the circular economy, plays a vital role in transforming our linear, "take-make-dispose" model into a more sustainable and resilient framework. The circular economy framework encourages a shift from the traditional "takemake-dispose" model towards a regenerative system, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible through strategies such as recycling, reusing, and remanufacturing. By minimizing waste generation, extending product lifecycles, and optimizing resource efficiency, circular economy practices offer immense opportunities for economic growth, job creation, and environmental conservation. However, the successful implementation of a circular economy necessitates robust waste management systems that encompass the entire lifecycle of products and materials. Effective waste management strategies, including waste prevention, segregation, collection, treatment, and disposal, play a crucial role in closing the loop and maximizing resource recovery. Furthermore, integrating innovative technologies, such as advanced recycling methods and waste-to-energy systems, can enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of waste management processes. We need a comprehensive and integrated approach that synergizes circular economy principles with efficient waste management strategies. We also need to 2 explore key challenges and potential solutions associated with transitioning towards a circular economy, such as the need for policy reforms, stakeholder collaboration, and public awareness. Furthermore, we need to highlight the numerous social, economic, and environmental benefits that can be realized through the adoption of a circular economy mindset combined with effective waste management practices. Ultimately, the integration of circular economy principles with efficient waste management strategies holds the promise of creating a sustainable future, where resources are utilized in a more responsible and efficient manner, waste generation is minimized, and environmental impacts are reduced. Therefore we need further research, collaboration, and knowledge exchange to unlock the full potential of circular economy and waste management as transformative tools for a more sustainable and resilient society.

Abstract
The convergence of low-Earth orbit (LEO)-based small satellites (including CubeSats / Nanosatellites) and terrestrial cellular communication networks have garnered significant interests from the research communities and the industry sectors owing to their portability and distribution characteristics. Consequently, developing ground stations tailored for CubeSat internet of things (IoTs) services with energy harvesting capabilities has become a pivotal research area for the daily low-latency round-trips remote sensing applications. LEO constellations (at 350 to 1,200 km altitude) offer capabilities such as reduced latency (of 6 to 30 ms); typical beam footprint (of 100 to 1000 km); and the increased coverage not viable with a single higher-altitude satellite. The satellite earth station (SES) receiver must be able to process very weak signals in a terrestrial noisy and interference-dominant environment. The goal is to design a multi-source, multi-mode energy-harvesting low-power reconfigurable multiband (L-, S-, C- and X-bands) RF receiver that meets the requirements of low-noise figure (< 2 dB); high gain (> 25 dB); wide bandwidth (> 500 MHz); high sensitivity (< - 100 dBm); and large dynamic range (> 160 dB). This involves a multiphysics development and implementation of a hybrid multiband RF-perovskite photovoltaic energy harvester for satellite-LTE/5G/6G narrowband / Wi-Fi-IoTs SES sensors constellations and clusters connectivity, deployment and operations. This paper provides the relevant multiphysics design, modelling and simulation insights for realising ultra-low-power IoTs subsystems with advanced hybrid manufactured adaptive energy beamforming and distributed fibre-integrated massive multiple input multiple output RF transceiver frontend architecture for green Galileo-CubeSat-Drone-based Earth observation missions and/or applications.

Abstract
Agrivoltaics is an innovative approach where solar energy, water, land and biodiversity are integrated into the same area to maximize resource utilization for sustainable development, also known as Agrivoltaism. The combination of solar water pumping and agri-solar has led to the development of a new generation of irrigation systems that are highly sustainable and efficient. Agri-solar water pumping can irrigate crops, feed livestock, clean solar modules, cool the PV system, generate energy, store water, and provide community drinking water. This paper addresses the basic design and capacity requirements of solar water pumping systems for irrigating a 0.5-ha Agrivoltaics system in Kuala Lumpur. The SISIFO tool has been used to simulate the Agri-solar water pumping performance for tropical humid climatic conditions. The various parameters like site details, climate data, type of PV modules, DC pump -motor and converters are used as input data to evaluate the energy yield parameters (output energy in DC and AC form), hydraulic parameters (volume of water pumped), loss parameters (capture and system losses) and efficiency parameters (performance of the system). Lettuce was chosen as it is fast growing with good yield per hectare. Based on the result, a detailed analysis of the agrivoltaic lettuce plant is performed. A detailed analysis of the solar resource assessment, system design, Key performance indicators, loss analysis and environmental analysis of the Agri-solar water pumping has been carried out. Considering their specific climatic conditions, this can significantly assist policymakers in selecting the optimal solar pumping station for agrivoltaic plants. The importance of considering various factors when choosing a solar pumping station for agrivoltaics is also highlighted.

Abstract
Waves have an energy deposit that is constantly dissipated. SEWAT allows: • the exploitation of a new energy source; • the fight against energy waste; • the sustainable use of natural resources and territory; • to contribute to the energy transition; • to protect the coast from erosion; • to collect waste transported by the sea; • to monitor fish species. the SEWAT project: • reflects numerous Sustainable Development objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda ( 1 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 12 - 14); • does not produce waste, waste water and CO2 an uses common materials that are entirely recyclable; • it is free from risks, even accidental, for the environment and for the community; • it is scalable and replicable; • does not significantly impact the environment: The construction of a succession of modular concrete tanks, placed in the sea, is planned. The wall exposed to the waves is equipped to capture the water from the waves that crash and fill the tank. Energy is produced in three ways with the same device: • exploiting, with turbines, the flow of water accumulated in the tank into the sea • exploiting the movement of the mobile gates • exploiting the water hammer that is generated in the moving mass of water. The system is extremely simple but has a large production capacity. Taking energy from sea waves to make it available prevents the natural process of its waste and dissipation. Consequently, its use does not alter the balance of other ecosystems without occupying productive territory.

Abstract
Hydrogenotrophic biomethanization, one of the promising CCU technologies, has offered an environmentally friendly and promising alternative solution for bioenergy production from CO2 emissions. Hydrogenotrophic biomethanization of CO2 is a significantly efficient and a fast process in which 4 moles of hydrogen are reacted with 1 mole of CO2 under anaerobic conditions catalysed by methanogens to biomethanes. This biomethane produced from CO2 is classified as fifth generation biofuels. Various types of process configuration such as continuously stirred tank reactor, trickle bed reactors, fixed bed reactors, hollow fiber membrane reactors, bubble column reactors were investigated in order to improve the process. Other researchers recommended the use of pressurized bioreactor systems in which H2 conversion was increased due to the higher solubility of H2 under high pressure. Besides all these studies, cell immobilization technique using different immobilization materials such as vermiculite shales, granular perlite, PET, linen, megalite, hydroton, bio flow and ceramic balls ensures a high microbial inventory inside the bioreactor and provide high residence time of H2 and CO2 enhancing the transfer of substrate gases through liquid biofilm for biochemical metabolism. The studies indicated that high surface-to-volume ratio of the particles provides large contact areas between the microorganisms and the gas and liquid phase, and no additional mechanical power input is needed for gas transfer.
In this present study, valorization of residual CO2 from various sources such as industrial stacks, and biogas will be discussed as a new approach to provide value added product out of waste CO2.

Abstract
Natural resources are not being circulated as their original circulation system in the process that humans are using them. Its main cause is from the unbalance between the use of natural resources and the treatment of wastes discharged. This unbalance threatens not only the self-regulating system of nature, but also the existence of human life depending on the use of natural resources for survival.
In this context, this paper aims at developing a framework of recycling and waste management for establishing a resource circulation society. For achieving the objective, this paper will be composed of four parts as below.
Part 1: will be reviewed from two academic fields – resource economics and environmental sociology. The two have significantly different conceptual definitions of what resource is.
Part 2: will be introduced in terms of three aspects. They are the concept and aim, key strategies and implications, and empirical cases being promoted to achieve a resource circulation society.
Part 3: will be critically reviewed from three aspects. One is a review using individual indicator, another one is a review using a synthetic indicator, and the other one is to examine the limitations inherent in the existing strategies being launched for establishing resource circulation.
Part 4: will be established as a framework being composed of four phases. The 1st phase is . The 2nd phase is . The 3rd phase is . The 4th phase is on the basis of the findings from the above three phases.
As a concluding remark, will be examined. This is because, for example, finance and advanced technologies, and cooperative network, etc. are required for establishing and/or implementing the policies of recycling and waste management for establishing resource circulation society.

Abstract
The world’s energy crisis and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions require the development of energy-efcient alternatives, from sunlight to electricity. Solar energy is abundant and free of charge. Solar photovol-taic technology is one of the most promising renewable energy sources for sustainable development. But it takesup a lot of space that could be utilized for other human endeavors. Solar PV trees are a new method of capturingsunlight. It lessens the PV system’s footprint on land. This paper describes the planning and building a solar treethat will power lighting at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Egypt and mobile and laptop devices in public urbanareas. The Smart Solar Tree is an eco-friendly, creative piece of urban furniture that can function as a six-personpublic bench, a supply terminal block with six 230 V power outlets for laptops and electric bicycles, a built-inUSB charging hub for smartphones and tablets, and a fashionable tree-shaped public lighting xture. Eighteensolar photovoltaic panels, which function as programmable-color glowing leaves at night, provide the SmartSolar Tree with its whole electricity. Because establishing solar trees required less than 30 square feet of land,and installing ground-mounted solar panels required 5000 square feet, the results were compared to solar panelinstallations. The energy, nancial, and environmental performance of solar PV systems was also examined inthis article. The 5 kWp solar tree costs USD 1700 in total, compared to $2500 for at-mounted PV. The solartree’s payback period is projected to be 10 years. Solar trees cost 0.07 USD per watt, compared to 0.11 USD forstandard photovoltaic systems. This research aims to save 11,240 tons of CO2 emissions throughout the system’slifetime through energy use. The study also discusses the difculties associated with this technology and makesrecommendations for future lines of inquiry

Abstract
Advanced materials based heterogeneous catalysis involving photochemical and photoelectrochemical water splitting is an ultimate source of hydrogen generation as renewable green energy for tackling the ongoing fuel crisis. Carbon based materials are ideal for overall water splitting as a result of the excellent alignment of its band edges with water redox potentials. However, a single catalyst with a limited number of active sites does not exhibit significant photo/electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen production. Therefore, we have developed the semiconductor heterostructures of carbon materials with oxides, sulphides, selenides, other TMCs/TMDs NPs and QDs as the highly efficient nanocatalysts for enhanced hydrogen evolution reactions. The monophasic heterostructures have been designed in different weight ratios with fairly uniform distribution of nearly spherical particles and high specific surface area which creates an interfacial charge transfer between two semiconductors. As prepared heterostructures showed significant hydrogen evolution which is evident by observing high apparent quantum yield, low onset potential, lower overpotential and high electrochemical active surface area that will be presented in detail.

Abstract
Green hydrogen stands out as a highly promising approach for reducing carbon emissions in energy consumption. It is already integrated into strategies aimed at achieving carbon neutrality in key sectors where it serves as a vital alternative for curbing emissions, such as energy-intensive manufacturing, heavy- duty transportation, and fertilizer production. Amidst the energy transition, a significant challenge lies in making hydrogen production more environmentally friendly. One solution is to generate hydrogen from renewable energy sources, whose proportion in the energy mix is anticipated to rise in the coming years. This clean and sustainable form of hydrogen can be utilized across various applications, replacing fossil fuels. It could be advantageous for industrialists and provide them with a pathway to decarbonize their operations.

Abstract
Research on the exploration of renewable and sustainable energy sources in most developing countries may be almost concluded with tremendous results attesting to their inherent potentials to break-even in energy generation. The big question is: why are investors, governments, and standalone users not investing in renewable or sustainable energy generation? This research is an in-depth investigation of the militating factors that scare developing countries from engaging in Sustainable Development Goal 7. The research is a structured review that compiles issues of renewable energy adaptation in developing countries. The research shows that most of the factors identified may not be tackled in the near future as they are bound to economic implications, diplomatic complexes, political incapacities, poverty invasion, and technical know-how. It is believed that the frantic efforts of regional governments may be helpful in overcoming some of these challenges.
