Cost-effective municipal unions formation within intermediate regions under prioritized waste energy recovery

The reclassification of energy sources for electrical energy

“…In better terms, during the energy conversion or in the process results in the dissipation of energy from the system in the form of heat, light, wind and friction, and this can be converted into electricity by either direct conversion techniques or indirect techniques (Bani Hani et al, 2022). The heat energy dissipated from radiators, hot air from exhaust fans, draught fan air mass movement (Pancholi, 2022), (Akram and Butt, 2022), and friction between rolling materials can be converted into electrical energy using direct energy harvesters known as thermoelectric, triboelectric, piezoelectric, thermoelastic, and thermomagnetic harvesters (Eryganov et al, 2022). Most of these techniques use liberated heat, induced stress due to elongation, and electron liberation for electrical energy conversion.…”

Editorial: SDEWES science - The path to a sustainable carbon neutral world

“…there must be a necessity to significantly increase landfill taxes to promote environmentally friendly waste treatment and to lower GHG emissions. Article by Eryganov et al [174] provides a review of current applications of game theory to environmental studies and exploits apparatus of distributed dynamic coalition formation games in the Czech Republic WM case study. Results provide a view on the impact of the WtE technology implementation and limited landfilling on the municipal budgets and suggest the most suitable municipal unions for handling waste management tasks.…”
