“…Thus, it guarantees a better transparency of the data, and their usability, but do not addresses the key of the remarks discussed before. They require a step-change in the procedure, and how to integrate in the strategy of development and in general in a novel engineering approach to assess processes based on the use of renewable energy and alternative carbon sources (Centi at al., 2019b). Suitable novel indicators for both economics and LCA have also to be developed.…”

“…In addition, the synergies created from the system change, for example from the integration between solar-and bio-refineries (Abate et al, 2015b), offer new perspectives. However, these emerge only from a system analysis rather than from a classical techno-economic assessment (Centi et al, 2019b).…”

“…This term indicates those which both introduce new technological solutions, (for example, a more efficient direct use of renewable energy sources) and which are designed to effectively integrate within the new value chain deriving from energy transition. A consequence is the need of novel assessment approaches, which include new models for evaluation of CO 2 economics (Centi et al, 2019b).…”

“…The techno-economic feasibility of CO 2 utilization routes is a crucial element for their industrial implementation, together with other relevant aspects, such as the impact on the reduction of CO 2 emissions (Centi et al, 2019a;Centi et al, 2019b). This impact must be considered in terms of services provided using CO 2 to substitute fossil resources rather than in terms of 1) amount of CO 2 stored and 2) storage time (Schlögl et al, 2018).…”

The economics of CO 2 utilization are discussed from a critical perspective, with a concise analysis of the state-of-the-art of economics in power-to-X (methanol, methane). The main elements of the analysis of the economics are commented to provide guidelines on how to interpret the techno-economic results in the area of CO 2 utilization. It remarks the need of a careful analysis of the specific context, and of the limits of the evaluation, in order to go beyond the just use of the results without a proper analysis of how the data support the conclusions, their limits and applicability. Case examples discussed in a more detail regard the CO 2 to methanol or methane conversion, from the perspective of highlighting possible issues or limits rather than to indicate which results are more valuable, which is out of the scope of this contribution.

“…This presents many challenges from an energy systems point of view, as these different sources must be integrated on a regional, national and even global scale to ensure a continuous, reliable energy supply. Further to this, in the shorter term the challenge is to slowly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels by integrating renewable sources of energy into existing systems and processes [4].…”

Textile electronics embedded in clothing represent an exciting new frontier for modern healthcare and communication systems. Fundamental to the development of these textile electronics is the development of the fibers forming the cloths into electronic devices. An electronic fiber must undergo diverse scrutiny for its selection for a multifunctional textile, viz., from the material selection to the device architecture, from the wearability to mechanical stresses, and from the environmental compatibility to the end‐use management. Herein, the performance requirements of fiber‐shaped electronics are reviewed considering the characteristics of single electronic fibers and their assemblies in smart clothing. Broadly, this article includes i) processing strategies of electronic fibers with required properties from precursor to material, ii) the state‐of‐art of current fiber‐shaped electronics emphasizing light‐emitting devices, solar cells, sensors, nanogenerators, supercapacitors storage, and chromatic devices, iii) mechanisms involved in the operation of the above devices, iv) limitations of the current materials and device manufacturing techniques to achieve the target performance, and v) the knowledge gap that must be minimized prior to their deployment. Lessons learned from this review with regard to the challenges and prospects for developing fiber‐shaped electronic components are presented as directions for future research on wearable electronics.
