Alternative and Novel Energy Sources - Science topic

Increase in the price of fossil fuels (in the 1970s mainly oil). Rising inflation, rising interest rates, economic crisis, economic recession, rising unemployment. Creation of new technological solutions, energy innovations, which can significantly reduce the level of consumption of energy raw materials in power generation, the level of fuel combustion in motor vehicle engines, etc. So looking at the energy crisis of the 1970s and the current energy crisis, you can see many parallels. And what were the key differences apart from the fact that in the 1970s the accelerating process of global warming was not yet noticed, the onset of the climate crisis was overlooked or deliberately ignored.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

What is your opinion on this subject?

In my country, 25 million citizens are using district heating in their flats and houses (flats in multi-family buildings, housing estates, houses in the city heated by district heating plants).

Many people overheat their flats. The thermostats are set too high or, when there are no thermostats and the radiators are hot, instead of turning down the radiator some people open the windows and most of the heat escapes into the atmosphere outside the flat.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

Hydrogen production companies are to be set up in the European Union and a European hydrogen bank is to be established. This is necessary in view of the need to develop hydrogen energy. The development of hydrogen energy is one of the best solutions for a pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the energy sector and for increasing energy security, increasing the scale of energy self-sufficiency and reducing the scale of future, successive energy crises. Hydrogen power is one of the key types of emission-free energy sources. Consequently, the development of hydrogen energy is an excellent solution to carry out a pro-environmental transformation of energy, to develop green energy, to reduce CO2 emissions, to counteract the progressive process of global warming, to reduce the scale of the negative effects of a future global climate catastrophe that may still occur in this 21st century.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of researchers and scientists:

Unfortunately, more and more data and research centers scientifically confirms that progressively progressing global warming has become a fact. First and foremost, human activity influences this. The impact of natural factors is significant, however, the progress of civilization, industrial development, greenhouse gas emissions in the past few decades has increased significantly and continues to grow. The biggest problem may be the inability to reverse this process even if all of the industry, energy and transport are now switching to renewable energy sources.

In view of the above, the current question is: Is it possible that man with the help of modern RES energy technology would stop the greenhouse effect on Earth?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I'm working on counter electrode for DSSC application, i would like to know if the CoSe can be doped with a MXene like Ti3C2Tx.

What would be the possibilities, advantages and limitations of using direct current (DC) in home electrical systems?

Currently, commercial power systems and corresponding charges are arranged for the use of electricity in alternating current (AC), this because the technological possibilities of the past only allowed to raise AC voltage, to reduce transport losses, however , this is currently possible in DC, but there are also photovoltaic generation systems that deliver their production in DC and most of the electric charges being arranged for AC, their core of energy consumption is in DC. Is it possible to have home DC systems to reduce electrical losses?

Mankind's ideas of energy production must be re-thought in order to survive... The relyance on fossil fuels or nuclar energy does not help. All sources of energy should be thought about, so tidal energy is OK, but not very efficient. It has be shown to work (e.g. in the Netherlands and France in estuaries of rivers)... Wind energy is efficient in costal areas but has been depending on state funding... But do you honestly think that coal mining or the production of nuclear energy/Waste is not depending from state funding/subsidies?

An introduction can be seen by the Open University, see URL:

Do you have helpful ideas or thougths?

In critical industries their power backup generators are power with Diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is at times in short supply and often becomes contaminated. New fuels are required to run these generators that power back up systems to critical industries such as hospitals and data centers. As a nation, we need chemists and chemical engineers to come forward with new technologies producing sustainable fuels to augment or replace the use of gasoline/Diesel fuel consumption.

It is possible to adjust costs deviations through the correlation of the wind speed (m.s-1) and unitary cost production in wind projects to guarantee the integrity of costs structure and finally viability of project entirely.

Can the electron spin reverse? What implications would this bring in terms of defining matter?

We know it is usually not possible- all good absorbers have to be good emitters and vice versa. But I am looking for controlling the emission of an excited state (thermally or visibly). It may hold in a metastable state but de-excitation  is required at my control by a trigger. Can somebody suggest how to hold an excited state of a molecule or material? It basically means engineering a small minima at the excited state which disallows de-excitation to ground state. We may change selection rules or whatever other crazy ideas.

Animal fat represents a waste in abattoirs, butchers shops and kitchens. I'm interested to know if there are any concrete examples of its use for energy purposes (fuel for engines, boilers, biogas generation, etc.).

Every year, tropical cyclones cause disasters in coastal regions.

Does anyone have any ideas of ways to harness the vast energy naturally available? Can we reduce the impact of tropical cyclones in the future using modern technology?

By definition Energy Intensity (EI) is a measure of the energy efficiency of a nation's economy. It is calculated as units of energy per unit of GDP. High EIs indicate a high price or cost of converting energy into GDP. Low EI indicates a lower price or cost of converting energy into GDP.

Current energy trends of the world are obviously unsustainable, socially, environmentally and economically. EI in Iran’s industry sector is more than 4.6 times greater than world average! (See the attached Chart). Yet, the share of industry sector in Iran is 21%, while the world average is 30%! What scenario would you recommend for her? What infrastructure would be necessary to reduce energy consumption? How your country is dealing with EI?

Most of the literature talks about "small" EfW plants being those which handle less than 100,000tpa of waste. Would it be cost-effective to build a very small one, say 500 tpa capacity?

Is there documentation of such successful projects? Also, what are the possible business models to make it commercially feasible, such as community led projects or private sector owned systems, etc.?

We are trying to produce bio diesel from waste vegetable oil.

I would like to establish a business of bottling biogas, I have not heard of a case elsewhere. As indicated in the ongoing discussion on biogas, indeed it is an opportunity to transform life through provision of clean energy solution and I would like to add an entrepreneurship arm to it. This is because we cannot pipe purified biogas due to legislative and security constraints in my country and on combustion of biogas to electricity, we loose about 65% of energy on heat and other loses. To save on this loses we can compress the gas and sell it as bottled gas.

materials which are low cost are the priority in my project.

Any info regarding this would be very helpful.

My question is: does it possible to manifest in the real life? What kind of possible additives we can use to convert it and the possible technique that is need to be applied?

thank you ^^

No not yet done, the ground is to provide affordable housing for each person's own energy source, ie the total pollution of the global replacement of fossil sources of space a totally new approach, namely the design of houses fully secured by heat and light. Fossil energy needed to move only in space, and then only temporarily, until invented a new way to travel.
