“…The proposed strategy to convert facial mask waste into sea-level clean water production and cultivation is likely to be a promising solution for environmental sustainability with several advantages. Ling et al [ 35 ] developed a desalination system coupled with tidal energy to use the mechanical energy generated by tidal energy directly with the reverse osmosis system (RO) through a hydraulic turbine. The performance of the system and the water cost of the conventional and tidal energy RO systems were compared, and it was found that the tidal energy RO equipped system can save water costs in the order of 31–42% compared to the conventional RO system.…”

Purposeof Review According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a large portion of the various activities in the agriculture and food supply chain (AFSC) are extremely dependent on fossil fuels and contribute to 24% of the total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Recent Findings There are several strategies to reduce GHG emissions and mitigate the associated destructive impacts. Among them, substituting fossil fuels with alternative low-carbon energy sources has received remarkable attention. Summary The core concept of this study is to explore the relationship between food security, sustainable development, and renewable energy. Renewable energy has shown promising potential for integration into a wide range of agricultural activities and offers an alternative sustainable solution to current practices. In modern agriculture, the need for electrification has increased, with electric tractors and agricultural robots accounting for a large share, which represents a great opportunity for the use of renewable technologies in this sector. As new technologies emerge, investors need to familiarize themselves with them. Further technical improvements, cost reductions, and government incentives can facilitate the real-world deployment of sustainable renewable technologies in agriculture and food production.

“…Lei (Lei, 2015) built an experimental platform for the production of highpressure seawater directly to supply pressure to seawater reverse osmosis desalination system, and verified that the method could complete the preparation of 6 MPa high-pressure seawater. Ling et al (Ling et al, 2011;Ling et al, 2018;Ling et al, 2013) established a framework for producing high-pressure seawater for seawater reverse osmosis desalination by tidal energy directly, without conversion of electric power. Ling et al, 2015) investigated the performance of the seawater reverse osmosis desalination system directly driven by tidal energy which proved the method could directly pressurize the low-pressure seawater into high-pressure seawater through experiments.…”

To solve the issues of high-energetic consumption, high-cost and high-carbon emissions in the processes of reverse osmosis seawater desalination technology, this study proposed and implemented a tidal energy-gathering supercharger with the concept of using green tidal energy to directly produce high-pressure-seawater-driven reverse osmosis seawater desalination system. Compared with the traditional way of using tidal energy to produce electric power in order to produce high-pressure water for the system, this technology could save energy that may lost in two transferring process thus can improve the energy efficiency of the whole system, lower its running cost, and realize the green production concept of zero carbon emission. To study the differences of influences on energy-gathering supercharger caused between two types of tidal energy usage, comparison had been made under conditions of fixed work seawater flow and fixed-work seawater circuit opening adjustment. The results show that compared with the traditional tidal energy-driven electricity generation, adaptive-frequency and high-efficient energy-gathering supercharge experimental system that suits tidal changes can increase the use efficiency of tidal energy, make energy-gathering supercharger absorb more tidal energy thus produce more high-pressure water.

“…Unlike wave energy which is influenced by speed of the wind, the strength of tidal energy is influenced by the location and shape of the Earth which makes tidal energy quite predictable [25]. Ling et al [26] carried out an economic analysis of a TPRO desalination system where the productivity of the desalination system and cost of freshwater were compared with other methods. It was concluded that the TPRO desalination system could save water costs between 30-40% compared to the traditional RO system.…”
