“…This growing sector is creating jobs, making power grids more resilient, expanding access to energy in developing countries, and helping to reduce energy costs. The supply of key minerals essential to key clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles and wind turbines must increase in the coming decades to meet global climate targets, creating a potential energy security risk that governments around the world must also address with great care and attention [169]. This means that the mineral needs of an energy system powered by clean energy technology are different from those of a fossil fuel system.…”

The electrical power sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of every country around the world. Total global demand for electric energy is growing both in developed and developing economies. The commitment to the decarbonization of economies, which would mean replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources (RES) as well as the electrification of transport and heating as a means to tackle global warming and dangerous climate change, would lead to a surge in electricity consumption worldwide. Hence, it appears reasonable that the electric power sector should embed the principles of sustainable development into its functioning and operation. In addition, events such as the recent European gas crisis that have emerged as a result of the massive deployment of renewables need to be studied and prevented. This review aims at assessing the role of the renewable energy in the sustainable development of the electrical power sector, focusing on the energy providers and consumers represented both by businesses and households that are gradually becoming prosumers on the market of electric energy. Furthermore, it also focuses on the impact of renewables on the utility side and their benefits for the grid. In addition, it identifies the major factors of the sustainable development of the electrical power sector.

“…Renewable energy has multiple characteristics such as reduced dependability on fossil fuel and a decline in CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere. 125 The benefits of using renewable energy are not only saving energy sources but also multi-dimensional practices like water transfer. Renewable energy sources are naturally replenishing but limited; renewable resources are almost unlimited but inadequate for energy that is available per unit time, such as sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, water, and various forms of biomass.…”

“…Therefore, it is significantly challenging to green this system, since this process requires diverse processes, and must rapidly undergo adaptation to the diverse portfolio of renewable energy technologies to satisfy the requirements for environmental and energy security. Renewable energy has multiple characteristics such as reduced dependability on fossil fuel and a decline in CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere 125 . The benefits of using renewable energy are not only saving energy sources but also multi‐dimensional practices like water transfer.…”

Summary This study provides an overview of green supply chain management (GSCM) in the context of renewable energy sources. Thus, it establishes a green management standard with GSCM that companies can adopt. The environmental, economic, and social components determine the concept of GSCM. However, the development and commercialization of renewable energy and sustainable manufacturing practices play a fundamental role in shaping the traditional supply chain management (SCM) and business models. GSCM means that firms and organizations must balance economic and environmental performance to stay competitive, and conform with regulatory and community pressures. This has forced enterprises to design and implement strategies such as eco‐efficiency, greener production, and cleaner environmental practices, for green management practices, which aim at reducing the environmental impacts of their operations. This study further highlights insights needed to significantly improve performance and overcome barriers to the development of renewable energy green supply chain management (REGSCM). It also presents useful techniques by outlining better control chain costs to make renewable energy more affordable and efficient, and a new conceptual model that is mainly grounded within the network of distributed energy systems in the context of GSCM. This concept allows renewable energy producers to sell their surplus electricity based on a peer‐to‐peer (P2P) network or sell directly via the general market. Specifically, this model brings to bear the linkages to the creation of value by firms.

“…However, renewable energy sources (wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, etc.) have a certain intermittent nature; therefore, energy storage has become an essential step for the management of renewable energy. − While various electrical energy storage technologies have been proposed, such as compressed air energy storage (CAES), capacitors, fuel cells, pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS), etc., lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) attract the most extensive attention and are being rapidly applied due to the advantages of high energy density and cycle efficiency, and low self-discharge rate . At the same time, as LIBs are widely used as the energy storage unit and the most common power supply unit in new energy vehicles, mobile phones, and computers as well, a large amount of spent LIBs are wasted every year.…”

The huge consumption of fossil fuels leads to excessive CO 2 emissions, and its reduction has become an urgent worldwide concern. The combination of renewable energies with battery energy storage, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage are well acknowledged as two major paths in achieving carbon neutrality. However, the former route faces the discard problem of a large amount of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their limited lifespan, while it is costly to obtain effective CO 2capturing materials to put the latter into implementation. Herein, for the first time, we propose a route to synthesize low-cost Li 4 SiO 4 as CO 2 sorbents from spent LIBs, verify the technical feasibility, and evaluate the CO 2 adsorption/desorption performance. The results show that Li 4 SiO 4 synthesized from the cathode with self-reduction by the anode graphite of LIBs has a superior CO 2 capacity and cyclic stability, which is constant at around 0.19 g/g under 15 vol % CO 2 after 80 cycles. Moreover, the cost of fabricating sorbents from LIBs is only 1/20−1/3 of the conventional methods. We think this work can not only promote the recycling of spent LIBs but also greatly reduce the cost of preparing Li 4 SiO 4 sorbents, and thus could be of great significance for the development of CO 2 adsorption. KEYWORDS: recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries, Li 4 SiO 4 sorbent, high-temperature CO 2 adsorption, adsorption and desorption
