Creative efforts are necessary as global efforts seek to undertake projects focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. Among various financial products that provide funding for projects, green bonds, particularly sovereign green bonds (SGB or SGrB) issued with sovereign guarantees by central governments, have gained prominence. Proceeds from SGBs are used to finance green projects such as non-conventional and renewable energy projects, alternative energy solutions, greenhouse gas emission reduction, climate change mitigation, or reduced use of carbon-based energy sources. SGB will receive increasing global attention as governments attempt to meet UN climate change goals. This research uses descriptive research methodology to examine the evolution, operational aspects, challenges, and investor expectations associated with SGrBs by taking India as a case. The study period is taken from 2016 to 2023. It used a conceptual approach to discuss the market's evolution. The findings highlight how SGBs provide an unconventional way to link green finance with ecological priorities by combining fiscal policy, investment and science-based solutions. The insights are intended to inform future SGB frameworks and strategies to target funded green growth towards pressing global sustainability issues.

“…Securing energy for irrigation is crucial for agricultural development in developing countries with insufficient rainfall. Therefore, it is necessary to actively utilize environmentally friendly and cost-effective renewable energy sources, with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels being used for solar power generation [8,9]. Globally, renewable energy accounts for 20% of total energy consumption, with approximately 30% of renewable energy investments allocated to wind energy and 60% to solar energy [10].…”

This study proposes a rectangular-shaped optical module capable of simultaneously implementing crop cultivation and solar power generation. By employing a cylindrical Fresnel lens (CFL) array plate with a size of 100 × 100 mm2, multiple focal lines are formed, where some of the incident light transmits through the module while the rest is guided laterally through the rectangular lightguide structure. This guided sunlight is then concentrated by a cylindrical compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) structure, resulting in a 20-fold concentration ratio, onto a 5 × 100 mm2 Si photovoltaic (PV) cell. To experimentally verify feasibility, both the CFL array plate and the lightguide plate were fabricated with three-axis machine tooling equipment and assembled. The power generated experimentally by the 5 × 100 mm2 Si PV cell was 54% of the expected value from the simulation results on the light-concentrated efficiency considering experimental conditions, while the results on experimental transmittance along with rotation angles were very close to the simulation results. However, overall, the tendency of the generated power along the rotation angles is close to the tendency of the light-concentrated efficiency along the rotation angles from the simulation. Additionally, this study dealt with further consideration to enhance light-concentrated efficiency, introducing a means to adjust the trade-off relationship between transmittance and light-concentrated efficiency.

“…The global shift from conventional to renewable energy is crucial due to escalating environmental damage and fast resource depletion [1], [2]. The adoption of renewable energy is increasing to meet growing global energy needs [3], [4]. Enhanced use of existing renewable sources provides clear benefits, while the development of hybrid systems creates research opportunities [5], [6].…”

<p>The primary objectives behind transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy sources, with a particular focus on reducing both electricity costs and carbon emissions. This transition has prompted various sectors and sports bikes, to embrace renewable energy alternatives, with a specific emphasis on technologies such as photovoltaic systems, energy storage solutions, and power generation from machines. The core subject of investigation in this paper is the application of renewable energy sources within sports bikes, with a particular emphasis on a hybrid system. This hybrid system incorporates DC/DC, AC/DC, and DC/AC converters to meet the energy requirements of the facility. The central aim of the research is to identify the most economically efficient scale for a self-sufficient hybrid photovoltaic system that integrates stationary generators and battery storage. The research seeks to optimize the balance between cost-effectiveness and sustainable energy provision in the context of sports facilities.</p>
