“…In fact, in 2014, petroleum products accounted for 62% of all types, while coal accounted for 21.26%, and natural gas -5.3%. It should be emphasized that the country imports more than 95% of fossil fuels from abroad -from 100% coal and 99.99% oil to 85% natural gas [7].…”

The study of emissions in world science is devoted to various aspects of this phenomenon, various methods are demonstrated in different countries and on different continents The article reveals the experience of creating a unified database on various energy issues, including Greenhouse Emissions (Tons of CO2 Equivalent). The author provides data on emissions and other environmental problems presented by various researchers and justifies the need to create a unified database containing various aspects of environmental and energy issues. As a conclusion the article reveals the advantages of a unified emissions database for global sustainable development. From the study we can see that the data on emissions are scattered, there is no identical formula for calculation, there are no uniform requirements for disclosure of this information by companies, and the complexity of reports makes it difficult for the public to assess the social responsibility of companies. It is necessary to create a unified database of emissions, simple, understandable for users, allowing to compare data for different years, companies and spheres. Thus, the data on greenhouse gas emissions will be commensurate on various grounds and in different territories, which will help achieve the goals of sustainable development in the world.

“…Faced with this challenge, we have recourse to renewable energies which have become a competitive alternative given that they are inexhaustible and respectful of the environment to supply energy to the electrical networks [1][2][3][4]. Exploiting energy sources can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and complement and replace the use of fossil fuels [5]. Wind energy is considered a renewable energy source that responds to the increasing demand for energy [6].…”

In the field of wind turbine performance optimization, many techniques are employed to track the maximum power point (MPPT), one of the most commonly used MPPT algorithms is the perturb and observe technique (PO) because of its ease of implementation. However, the main disadvantage of this method is the lack of accuracy due to fluctuations around the maximum power point. In contrast, MPPT control employing neural networks proved to be an effective solution, in terms of accuracy. The contribution of this work is to propose a hybrid maximum power point tracking control using two types of MPPT control: neural network control (NNC) and the perturbation and observe method (PO), thus the PO method can offer better performance. Furthermore, this study aims to provide a comparison of the hybrid method with each algorithm 𝑃𝑂 and NNC. At the resulting duty cycle of the 2 methods, we applied the combination operation. A DC-DC boost converter is subjected to the hybrid MPPT control. This converter is part of a wind energy conversion system employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The chain is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink software. The effectiveness of the controller is tested at varying wind speeds. In terms of the Integral time absolute error (ITAE), using the PO technique, the ITAE is 9.72. But, if we apply the suggested technique, it is smaller at 4.55. The corresponding simulation results show that the proposed hybrid method performs best compared to the PO method. Simulation results ensure the performance of the proposed hybrid MPPT control.

“…Morocco is particularly vulnerable to climate change, it is reflecting in periods of droughts, floods and heat waves with an average warming estimated at 1°C and rainfall variability reaching 30% (Chentouf and Allouch, 2018). In 2018, a worldwide study (Green Peace Nasa, 2019) was conducted based on data delivered by NASA's IMO satellite, which monitors the air quality on the planet's surface.…”

Morocco, as many other countries in North Africa, is becoming vulnerable to climate change consequences. Its sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions are relatively high due to the electricity production, this sector is still heavily relying on coal. Morocco is also an emerging country, aiming to raise its economic development indicators and pursue a sustainable energy approach, facing additional challenges with industrial development and many coal infrastructures already in place. For the country, renewable energy is considered the most efficient pathway to decarbonize the electricity sector and reduce CO 2 emissions. The main goal is to meet the growing need for electricity while preserving the environment. This study investigates the electricity sector in Morocco and its production sources, it highlights the limitations of the current model and gives an opportunity analysis to meet the carbon neutrality target. This study also provides some development axes and recommendations to accelerate and support the new energy vision.
