“…[27] The overall performance of the solar-driven CH 4 reforming process was found to be significantly affected by the capability of catalysts, [28] as well as various factors such as the operating conditions and the reactor design. [29] Solar-driven CH 4 reforming kinetic model in a small-scale volumetric receiver-reactor was successfully explored by Gokon et al [30] with the transformation of solar energy over the porous catalytic absorber (Ru/g-Al 2 O 3 /metallic foams) which followed the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism in a temperature range of 600-700 °C. Then Chandran et al [31,32] developed a reticulated porous ceramic (RPC) alumina heat exchanger for the thermochemical cycle in which the energy conversion of solar-to-fuels could be significantly enhanced by the porous medium with 85-90% porosity (9.5 times higher than the value predicted without RPC).…”

The conversion of methane to value‐added chemicals by traditional reforming processes suffers from intensive energy consumption due to its particularly strong C─H bonds. Thus, it is urgent to optimize the driving force structure for methane conversion by accelerating the integration of sustainable energy. In this review, the advances in sustainable energy‐driven methane conversion are systematically summarized to provide a scientific understanding of methane conversion in operation/storage concepts, reactor design, technological maturity, system optimization, and remaining issues. Furthermore, the essence, economic evaluations, energy balance, and social impacts of methane conversion driven by sustainable energy are carefully discussed, paving a path for the future course of research and development. Diversifying the energy mix can play an important role in the future of sustainable energy‐driven methane conversion industries, being used as a crucial step for the transition to sustainable energy, especially the combination of solar/nuclear energy with fossil fuels to produce value‐added chemicals. Additionally, this review intends to bridge the studies of methane conversion and sustainable energy‐driven development, with the ultimate goal of offering a robust framework to understand the current status of sustainable energy‐driven methane conversion and provide guidance for the design of sustainable solutions for a greener future.

A novel energy production system known as floating photovoltaic technology has captured the interest of many people due to its many advantages. The floating photovoltaic system contributes to a reduction in water evaporation and an increase in energy output. The development of floating photovoltaic power plants necessitates the study of these systems from both an electrical and mechanical structure perspective for research objectives. Numerous studies have been conducted on floating photovoltaic systems from various angles that have examined these systems. The goal of this paper is to provide a standard design procedure and performance for the construction of a floating photovoltaic energy system at the surface of Toshka lake for the generation of electricity to a household using PV Syst. software. Also it provides a logical analysis and up-todate assessment of the many characteristics and elements of floating photovoltaic systems as an energy production system. The performance ratio analysis reveals that the lowest value was obtained in the month of March is 64% and the maximum value was obtained in the month of December is 82%whereas the average value for year is 71.3%. Analysis of losses has also been done.

“…Among others, hydro-energy systems have been widely combined with wind energy to improve its lack of storage and intermittency. 1 luis.levieux@ing.unlp.edu.ar Pumped hydro storage (PHS) systems are the most common in this kind of associations, ranging from traditional water pumping in isolated areas [10], to most recent implementations where water is stored in a built-in reservoir inside the wind tower structure [11]. An insight and review of current trends are presented in [12].…”
