The transportation industry has led efforts to fight climate change and reduce air pollution. Autonomous electric vehicles (A-EVs) that use artificial intelligence, next-generation batteries, etc., are predicted replace conventional internal combustion engine (ICEVs) (EVs) in the coming years. In this study, we performed a life cycle assessment analyze A-EVs compare their impacts with those fro...

biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

The purpose of the present study was the simulation of climate change effects on groundwater resources in Iran by using the dynamic systems approach. The approach was performed through system dynamics modeling process including problem explanation, system description, model development, model testing, and the use of the model for policy analysis. The impact of the application of various exogeno...

The material needs from our society are reaching the crisis point, as the demand for resources will soon exceed the capacity of the present fossil resource based infrastructure [1]. Currently, fossil-based energy resources, such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas, are responsible for about three quarters of the primary energy consumption in our world. While decreasing crude-oil reserves, enhan...

It is necessary to form an energy system in order to deliver the electrical power to a region that delivering energy to them from the national grid is not possible. At the moment, using the hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) is the suggestion of more articles and scientific books because of environmental problems, nearing to the end of fossil fuels, and challenges including unpredictability...

Though East Africa has ample resource endowments for electricity production, the region lowest performance in generating electricity, and millions of people are living without access to electricity. To fill gap countries used fossil fuels as major source energy, but production from a renewable is lower. Therefore, this study aimed identify determinant factors resources excluding hydropower sour...
