“…The contribution of the article to the literature is the improvement of the scientific and methodological approach to monitoring of the sustainable and environmentally friendly development of the energy economy. Unlike Gunnarsdottir et al (2022), Klemm and Wiese (2022), Reynolds et al (2022), Schöne et al (2022), it is proposed not to collect data from different sources, but to rely on ready-made datasets in which all indicators are comparable, for example, on the UNDP (2022) dataset. This improves the accuracy of the assessment.…”

“…The first disadvantage is the compartmentalization and incompatibility of indicators of sustainability and environmental friendliness of the energy economy. In the existing literature, Amir and Khan (2022), Gunnarsdottir et al (2022), Klemm and Wiese (2022), Reynolds et al (2022), Schöne et al (2022) propose methods involving the use of indicators from different empirical databases. These indicators have different units of measurement.…”

“…Waste processing in both household and industries are expected to be able to strengthen the implementation of the circular economy, which has just been implemented in Indonesia as has been done by Germany [10]. The principle of a circular economy is the reuse of residual consumer goods to maximize economic value to zero waste [11][12] and can support the government's efforts to overcome the problem of plastic waste in the sea by up to 70% by 2025. A theory related to the treatment of waste through combustion, where the thermal energy obtained can be stored for household hot water purposes [13].…”

This article aims to review the potential and feasibility of pyrolytic oil from plastic waste (POPW) as a substitution fuel for conventional fossil fuels. Pyrolytic oil can be generated from plastic waste through the thermal cracking process. In addition to overcoming the global plastic waste problem, recovering plastic waste into alternative fuels can also reduce the consumption of fossil-based fuels. The research on POPW production and utilization of internal combustion engines (ICE) was reviewed and discussed to determine their potential and suitability for fuel substitution. Currently, plastic materials can be easily found in various product packaging, ranging from food and beverage packaging to shopping bags and appliances. When they are no longer utilized, this plastic becomes garbage and will be very harmful to humans and the environment. Therefore, it needs a correct way to proceed and minimize the impact caused by plastic waste. In fact, there are seven types of plastic waste in the polymer groups that must be handled via the pyrolysis process to avoid plastic pollution. literature survey, research on POPW via the pyrolysis process, and its usage is thoroughly found to be booming and growing very rapidly. Co-pyrolysis is known to be the most potential and suitable way to produce high-quality POPW, which is suitable to be used to fuel the ICE and also the stationary industrial engine.

Purpose of Review As we transition to highly renewable energy systems, island energy systems face challenges different from those well-understood for continents. This paper reviews these challenges to guide energy systems modelling for islands. Recent Findings Only a single energy system model is found to be developed especially for islands. Challenges like land scarcity, climate risks, high seasonality of demand, isolation and remoteness, data scarcity, social and political vulnerability, and scarce funding are identified in recent literature. Notably, isolation and remoteness, social and political factors, and insufficient island funding are underrepresented in studies reviewed in this work. Summary This review identifies the specific challenges of island energy systems and compiles the methods employed by researchers to tackle them. We discuss these challenges in detail, highlight gaps, and provide suggestions to improve island energy systems modelling in the future.
