“…For instance, various studies examine the total cost of a product by considering different factors, such as total production costs or the minimum selling price [26][27][28]. Other studies concentrate more on the profitability of a production plant investment by calculating indicators like the net present value or the internal rate of return [3,29,30]. Additionally, even among studies that use the same focus, the individual inclusion or exclusion of specific cost positions leads to disparate results.…”

The role of chemical recycling (CR) as a valuable complementary strategy to mechanical recycling in closing the carbon cycle for carbon‐containing waste is currently being discussed in political, economic, and social spheres. However, CR deployment is hindered by uncertainties regarding its environmental impacts and costs compared to conventional waste treatment and chemical production routes. While methods for assessing CR's environmental impacts are the focus of socio‐political debates and investigations, techno‐economic analyses (TEA) to evaluate costs of CR remain scarce. To contribute to a standardized framework for assessing the economic viability of CR technologies, this article draws on life cycle assessment and TEA literature to develop a six‐stage TEA process for CR. A checklist is also presented to support transparent and comprehensive analyses.

“…RESs depend on weather constraints and are unpredictable, small in capacity, and complex. In conventional power systems, several issues and challenges with respect to high active and reactive power losses, voltage profile balancing, and network reliability are caused by these characteristics [13,14]. Hybrid backup energy source models and enhanced integration approaches are used by researchers to analyze the impact of the RES on the system.…”

In transportation systems based on e-vehicles, the energy demand is met with the integration of renewable energy sources while maintaining the voltage profile and mitigating the active and reactive power losses. Vehicle-to-grid optimization technique is used to ensure this integration. Minimum active and reactive power losses are achieved when e-vehicles are integrated with the renewable energy sources in a hybrid mode. A machine learning framework with nested learning is used to ensure optimal methodology to trigger vehicular movement and monitoring of the SoC battery level. When the HEV operates, there is a high possibility for battery degradation, leading to loss of its capacity. To determine the optimal policy, the TD( λ ) learning algorithm is incorporated. This algorithm is known to showcase high performance and a high convergence rate in a non-Markovian environment. The output is simulated to record the readings observed which is aimed at optimizing the total operation cost and reduction in battery replacement. The results show that for shorter drives, the battery replacement cost is more and it is optimally possible to increase the battery life by 21% using the proposed work. Similarly, the recordings indicate that the proposed work shows a significant reduction of about 8%–10% in the operating cost when compared with the RL and rule-based policy.
