“…These are arguments for the implementation of new technologies and the use of alternative fuels in the metallurgical industry. Reducing CO 2 emissions will have a positive impact on climate change by limiting the greenhouse effect, which will bring measurable benefits to the entire society [100].…”

The main goal of the study was to assess the possibility of practical use of products of pyrolysis of refuse-derived fuel (RDF), i.e., pyrolysis gas, biochar and pyrolysis oil, as an alternative to standard fossil fuels. The subject matter of the paper reaches out to the challenges faced by the global economy, not only in the context of the energy crisis, but also in the context of the energy transformation currently beginning in Europe. The increase in fuel and energy prices prompts countries to look for alternative solutions to Russian minerals. At the same time, the growing amount of municipal waste forces the implementation of solutions based on energy recovery (the amount of municipal waste per EU inhabitant in 2021 is 530 kg). One such solution is pyrolysis of RDF, i.e., fuels produced from the over-sieve fraction of municipal waste. In Poland, insufficient processing capacity of thermal waste conversion plants has led to significant surpluses of RDF (1.2 million Mg of undeveloped RDF in Poland in 2021). RDF, due to their high calorific value, can be a valuable energy resource (16–18 MJ/k). This issue is analyzed in this study.

“…The experiment has five variables, which means a set of 2 K (where k is the number of variables). It equals 2 5 = 32 full factorial experiments for each factor at two coded levels [-1, +1]. Each level has a corresponding real value which can be converted using the Eq.…”

“…Solar heat can be done using different types of undeveloped collectors. For instance: low-emissivity coated glazing, double glazed flat-plate collector (FPC) with anti-reflection, tightly sealed with vacuum or gas fillings, evacuated-tube collector (ETC) with reflectors, compound parabolic collector (CPC), parabolic trough collector (PTC), and Fresnel collectors [1][2][3][4][5]. A critical point must be considered: the solar system does not need to cover the total process heat demand, but cost optimisation is conducted to determine the optimum sizing.…”

With more than 27% of the final heat demand in Europe consumed by the industrial sector, solar heat for the industrial process is one of the hottest topics nowadays, leading to many initiatives to make pilot projects in central and southern Europe. This paper analysed two analytical methods to optimise the essential working parameters (solar collectors, glycol ratio, volume flow rate, relative tank capacity, and tank height/diameter ratio) in a pasteurising plant located in Budapest, Hungary. The first method is an analytical approach to determine the optimum values considering the other variables at fixed levels. In contrast, the other one is linear modelling using response surface method RSM and R script coding program to identify the most influential factors using Pareto plots and then discussing the most important two factors' interactions. This research aims to identify which method is better for optimising solar heat for industrial (SHIP) systems. The paper compares the previously mentioned methods, and the results are compared with the results from the other authors. As a result, all factors showed similar magnitudes in both methods except for relative flow rate which was neutral in the analytical method and positive in the RSM.

“…However, not all produced biomass can be utilized for energy purposes. In e view of sustainable agriculture development, biomass removal rates are 40-50% depending on the cultivated crop [4], and the rest should be left on agricultural soil for ploughing, erosion prevention and for the increase in soil carbon content [5]. The most appropriate and sustainable method of biomass disposal would be to use it as an energy source, as suggested earlier.…”

Multidisciplinary Approach to Agricultural Biomass Ash Usage for Earthworks in Road Construction

Agricultural biomass has great bioenergy potential due to its availability, and it is a carbon-free energy source. During biomass incineration, biomass ash is formed, which is still considered as a waste without proper disposal and management solutions. Various biomass ash utilization options were investigated, mainly concerning engineering issues (the mechanical characterization of newly produced building materials or products), and there is a lack of knowledge of environmental issues arising from this “waste” material utilization in civil engineering practice. The main aim of this research is discussion of a different agricultural biomass characteristics as a fuel, the impact of agricultural biomass ashes (ABA) on the mechanical properties of stabilized soil with a particular emphasis on the environmental impacts within this kind of waste management. The results of this study indicate improved geotechnical characteristics of low-plasticity clay stabilized by lime/ABA binder. In addition to mechanical characterization for materials embedded in road embankments and subgrades, appropriate environmental risk assessment needs to be performed, and the results of this study indicate that the amount of ABAs added to the soil for roadworks should not have adverse effects on the soil fauna in the surrounding environment.
