In the present era, carbon emissions are experiencing a global upsurge. The greenhouse gas emissions are required to be brought down to net zero levels to attain environmental sustainability, with more reliance on renewable energy sources. To attain this, the role of green hydrogen generation becomes relevant in the realm of renewable energy. However, the storage and logistics of green hydrogen are complex and are inhibited by several challenges. This study systematically examines the interrelationships and influences among various roadblocks faced by the green hydrogen sector and offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationships between the key challenges by utilizing the DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) approach. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted barriers and provide a structured framework for policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders.

The concept of the metaverse has the potential to bring about revolutionary changes in several dimensions of smart cities, including the utilization of energy, supply chain, and operations. However, for it to become a reality, several inhibitors need to be analyzed and addressed. Hence, this study identifies the barriers to Metaverse applications in building smart cities and analyzes the causal relationships among them using the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) approach. The results obtained by analyzing the responses from fifteen domain experts reveal that the security and privacy concerns as well as the digital addiction of users are the most significant barriers to the metaverse applications.

“…This study aimed to help policymakers manage electronic waste by overcoming the challenges associated with gathering accurate data that can be used at all levels, even the smallest ones, such as neighborhood (RT), hamlet (RW), district, and even province [4]. Recently, particularly in the Covid-19 era, data collecting has become one of the most challenging stages of providing inventory databases for the generation of e-waste [5,6]. The annual pattern of electronic waste production and distribution can be ascertained with the aid of this electronic production or distribution database.…”

Electronic waste (E-waste) is currently one of the waste streams with the most significant growth rate due to the incredible technological advancement and greater use of information and telecommunications (IT) technologies. One of the main concerns regarding environmental contamination that people worldwide have is the management of electronic waste. This problem is due to the quickly rising use of technological devices. As a result, electrical and electronic equipment has a finite shelf life and eventually becomes outdated. Lack of knowledge regarding the amount of waste produced and the transit of materials is one of the problems Indonesian governments have while handling e-waste. This study aimed to outline the possibilities of producing electronic waste in Setu, Tangerang Selatan. Online surveys of respondents from households were used as the methodology, but just for appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, laptops, and mobile phones. Since this problem becomes one of the most challenging parts of gaining the closest data to the actual waste stream, it is thought that this method is an effective way to gather the vast amounts of data required for the government to establish related policies. Fifty-two residences in Setu District, Tangerang Selatan City, were surveyed using a modified UNEP questionnaire. The study’s findings revealed that in terms of quantity-78 units produced as opposed to 244 units of the products listed-mobile phones are the most frequently produced electronic waste. Meanwhile, the refrigerator accounts for the most significant percentage of e-waste in terms of weight, or 40.93%. The findings of this study help policymakers create a formal e-waste management system by allowing them to calculate the amount of e-waste generated in Setu, Tangerang Selatan. Additionally, the approach used can be a valuable, user-friendly tool to produce the closest actual data that are typically required by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, such as to develop a database that becomes a part of Sistem Informasi Pengelolaan Sampah Nasional (SIPSN) or National Waste Management Information System.
