Green energy (GE) is frequently associated with sustainable development, which seeks to reduce global warming and its adverse effects on the environment, economy, and social justice. This study examines the impact of green energy on economic prosperity, green economic recovery, and long-term sustainability. This study analyses 33 industrialized and developing nations between 1991 and 2022 in the context of green energy, sustainable economic growth, and green economic recovery. Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), and the Random Effects Model (REM) are employed for analysis, and outcomes are analyzed using the Hausman specification test. The results show that both population increase and gross domestic product per capita significantly affect sustainable development. When compared, a hike in green energy prices contributes considerably to and positively to sustainable development. These results are helpful for policymakers and newcomers interested in green energy and renewable energy sources since they provide a framework to conduct more research and develop policy.

In the recent era, Lithium ion batteries plays a significant role in EV industry due to their high specific energy density, power density, low self-discharge rate, and prolonged lifespan. Modeling the battery precisely and estimating its State of Charge with great precision is essential to improve the performance of the lithium-ion batteries. Though numerous methods has been proposed for estimating the SOC, accurate estimation approach is not proposed yet since all these approaches consider the discrete-time dynamics of the battery.

Glycerol carbonate (GC) can be produced from glycerol (GL), a low-value byproduct in the biodiesel industry. In this work, continuous processes of GC production via transesterification from crude GL and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were developed using Aspen Plus. Two cases were considered, and their process performances were compared.

Reaching net zero emissions and limiting global warming to 2 °C requires the widespread introduction of technology-based solutions to draw down existing atmospheric levels and future emissions of CO. One such approach is direct air CO capture and storage (DACCS), a readily available, yet energy-intensive process. The combination of DACCS and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) allows for independently powered carbon capture plants to inject concentrated carbon into deep marine sediments where storage is generally safe and permanent.

Overgrazing is the primary human-induced cause of soil degradation in the Caatinga biome, intensely threatening lands vulnerable to desertification. Grazing exclusion, a simple and cost-effective practice, could restore soils' ecological functions. However, comprehensive insights into the effects of overgrazing and grazing exclusion on Caatinga soils' multifunctionality are lacking.

Long-term occupational exposure to metals and organics have been reported to be under great health risks. However, limited data are available on the molecular mechanism between combined exposure to metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and harmful health effects. In present work, non-target metabolomics study was conducted based on urine samples from nonferrous metal smelting workers (n = 207), surrounding residents (n = 180), and the control residents (n = 187) by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS).
