“…The research was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including analysis of legislation and interviews with representatives of car manufacturers. Xian et al (2022) Višković et al (2022) investigate the transition to a low-carbon economy through corporate energy management based on a survey of 184 large European companies to find out which corporate energy management practices are applied in the context of the transition to a low-carbon economy and what obstacles stand in the way of the transition. In addition, it was found that most companies are already taking concrete steps to reduce their carbon footprint, including using renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, and improving energy management processes.…”

Introduction. European countries are at different stages of transition to a new energy system due to different levels of energy dependence, geographical conditions, and priorities of national administration. The use of information technology and innovative developments in the energy field allows for reducing energy production costs, improving resource use efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring energy security. Modern energy is reaching a new qualitative level due to technology transfer and government policy. Such an energy transition in the industry requires time, unfolding globalization processes, implementing sustainable development strategy and solving greening problems. Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to assess the level of the economic base of technology transfer in the creation and functioning of a new energy system based on the principles of environmental safety of modern enterprises in EU countries. Results. The theoretical model is considered, which explains the essence and factors in the implementation of the new energy system of production enterprises in the cross-section of the EU countries. The ranking of European countries is given based on the calculation of the use of final electricity consumption per dollar per capita and one percent of renewable energy consumption minus the tax burden. Thus, some countries already have significant indicators that indicate the effectiveness of the transition to a new energy structure of their national enterprises. And such results do not directly depend on the share of the use of renewable energy sources and the reduction of the use of coal. But the share of more than 60% of the use of renewable energy and the significant tax burden placed on the final household consumers of electricity are general signs of the implementation of such a transition. Enterprises use such a transition mechanism more effectively in EU countries, where more than 60%. In economic terms, such transitions of enterprises are carried out at the expense of the lion's share of the tax burden on electricity use by end consumers – households. Conclusions. The study of the economic basis of technology transfer in the creation and functioning of a new energy system based on the principles of environmental safety of modern enterprises in EU countries is of great importance for improving energy efficiency and achieving environmental safety in the region as a whole. The research will be useful for government bodies that are engaged in shaping energy policy, regulating the energy sector, and ensuring environmental safety.

“…At present, some clean energy technologies have been developed relatively maturely, such as wind and solar power generation [8]. Meanwhile, responsiveness, digitization, artificial intelligence, carbon trading, smart grids, and electric vehicles are contributing to lowcarbon city [9]. Some studies have analyzed the construction methods of city's energy system, including multi-objective optimization [10] [11], sector coupling [12], and scenario-based method [13].…”

In the strategy of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, cities and towns are the main battlefield while energy is the main force. Based on the synergy of multi-factors (source-network-load-storage) and multiobjectives (Lowest economic cost, lowest environmental cost, highest energy efficiency, highest electrification rate), built a zero-carbon energy system development planning model towards Carbon-neutral Cities.This paper presents the modeling approach of the zero-carbon energy system and presents its pilot application in Dazhangzhuang, one of the Smart Energy Town. To provide the reference for the construction of carbon-neutral cities energy system in China.

“…In the past two decades, there has been an increasing quest for transition into a low carbon economy due to the adverse effect of the utilization of energy derived from fossil fuels on the environment [1]. The utilization of fossil-fuel-derived energy for various human activities often results in the emission of environmentally unfriendly gaseous emissions, with climate change being one of the most undesirable effects [2].…”

Comparative Analysis of Support Vector Machine Regression and Gaussian Process Regression in Modeling Hydrogen Production from Waste Effluent

et al. 2022

Organic-rich substrates from organic waste effluents are ideal sources for hydrogen production based on the circular economy concept. In this study, a data-driven approach was employed in modeling hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluents and activated sludge waste. Seven models built on support vector machine (SVM) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) were employed for the modeling of the hydrogen production from the waste sources. The SVM was incorporated with linear kernel function (LSVM), quadratic kernel function (QSVM), cubic kernel function (CSVM), and Gaussian fine kernel function (GFSVM). While the GPR was incorporated with the rotational quadratic kernel function (RQGPR), squared exponential kernel function (SEGPR), and exponential kernel function (EGPR). The model performance revealed that the SVM-based models did not show impressive performance in modeling the hydrogen production from the palm oil mill effluent, as indicated by the R2 of −0.01, 0.150, and 0.143 for LSVM, QSVM, and CSVM, respectively. Similarly, the SVM-based models did not perform well in modeling the hydrogen production from activated sludge, as evidenced by R2 values of 0.040, 0.190, and 0.340 for LSVM, QSVM, and CSVM, respectively. On the contrary, the SEGPR, RQGPR, SEGPR, and EGPR models displayed outstanding performance in modeling the prediction of hydrogen production from both oil palm mill effluent and activated sludge, with over 90% of the datasets explaining the variation in the model output. With the R2 > 0.9, the predicted hydrogen production was consistent with the SEGPR, RQGPR, SEGPR, and EGPR with minimized prediction errors. The level of importance analysis revealed that all the input parameters are relevant in the production of hydrogen. However, the influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and the medium temperature significantly influenced the hydrogen production from palm oil mill effluent, whereas the pH of the medium and the temperature significantly influenced the hydrogen production from the activated sludge.
