“…However, Russia disagreed, causing friction between the two countries and further impacting the sector's economy (Quintino et al, 2023). In this context, it is worth mentioning that Europe imports about 90% of its total gas consumption and about 45% of this comes from Russia (Pastore et al, 2022). To highlight te idea, in order to prevent price reductions due to low demand, members and partners of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries proposed a reduction in oil production (Quintino et al, 2023), supporting the approach encouraged by Saudi Arabia, but as it was previously specified, Russia refused.…”

After the economic impact caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, with relevant effects on both supply and demand of natural gas and their derived products, there has been a high interest at both managerial and academic levels, directed towards decoding the relationships between key stakeholders involved. The agricultural economy has chain implications at the level of every industry, and the price of natural gas radically influences various fields. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine, Romania and Türkiye have faced unprecedented situations in the energy and agricultural sectors, especially due to high prices and low sales value of cereals due to imports from Ukraine. The present study brings to the light of the research information from secondary sources, both quantitative and qualitative, simultaneously with an interview-type approach arried out on five managers in the area of distributors and producers of chemical fertilizers in Romania and Turkey and moreover completed with an analysis of the effectiveness of managerial implementation nationlwide. The innovative element comes primarily from the informational value of the data provided by them, intrinsic and far-reaching aspects at the managerial level in companies with hundreds of employees. The paper outlines the element of necessity attributed to the use of natural gas in the world's economic fields, reflecting the national-level managerial directions approached by the governing bodies of the two countries in order to manage the situation. An analysis of the financial implications of recent years in the field and the management policies used to adapt to the atypical market context is outlined. To contribute to a deeper understanding of price relationships, this paper analyzes the dynamics between the prices of energy, natural gas and reference chemical fertilizers on the market in Romania and Turkey, especially over the years 2019 – 2023. The research emphasizes the managerial approaches that have impacted the mentioned sector and highlights the reactions of the governing bodies at the level of the two states, reflected in strategic directions oriented towards the population to support the citizens. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation, a Google Forms type form addressed to the farmers of the two states was created, with coded questions, precisely defined based on the national managerial policies that will have been presented previously.

Smart energy systems refer to the use of advanced technologies and systems to optimize the generation, distribution, and consumption of energy. The main goal of such a concept is to create an intelligent energy infrastructure based mostly on sustainable solutions namely renewable generations. Notwithstanding, renewable energy resources by their nature are unprogrammable. The main challenge is to balance properly the demand and supply curve To do so, various interventions should be employed to improve the reliability of the system (namely: real-time energy consumption monitoring to optimize energy efficiency and integration of energy storage systems). The final outcome is significant energy saving as well as cost reduction and cutting carbon footprint. Hydrogen is mostly refers to as ‘future fuel’ due to its marvellous properties. It is an energy carrier that is characterized by water and heat as byproducts of combustion. Furthermore, it can be used in a variety of applications, including transportation, power generation, and industrial processes. It can be used in fuel cells to power electric vehicles or blended directly with natural gas to reduce GHG emissions. The current work investigates the potential role of Hydrogen inside a smart energy system on a community scale. Various contributions are defined for Hydrogen inside a community featuring power to gas, power to vehicles or blending into NG. The layout is composed of hybrid electric, thermal and cooling power generation which is integrated with storage systems. At the end of the simulation, various scenarios are compared to each other in terms of energy performance, economic indicators and environmental impacts to carry out the best suitable option.

“…Furthermore, a switch from the sectorial point of view to a holistic one, for what concerns energy sectors, is needed, and can be achieved via the Smart Energy Systems (SES) approach. Such an approach is based on the combination and coordination of the electricity, thermal and gas grid, in order to utilize the synergies between them, to maximize efficiency and reduce overall costs [1,[12][13][14][15][16][17] One of the key drivers of the energy transition is hydrogen produced by RES, known as green hydrogen, which can be exploited in several ways, such as blending with natural gas in the gas grid, with a volume concentration as high as 20%, without any significant risk [16], with a consequent reduction of the natural gas consumption [18]. Furthermore, hydrogen can be used in high-temperature industrial processes, in the chemical industry for ammonia and methanol production, in the mobility sector by direct utilization in fuel cell vehicles or by synthesis of electro-fuel to allow its use in existing vehicles.…”

Organic sold waste disposed of in landfills undergoes a mostly anaerobic process which generates a mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other various gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, sulphides, and non-methane organic compounds (NMOC), known as landfill gas (LFG). Being composed mostly of CH4 and CO2, landfill gas is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). As a result, various waste treatment interventions are required to minimize the potential catastrophic damage to the environment from direct greenhouse gas emissions from landfills. One effective solution is combustion to generate electricity exploiting methane’s flammability properties. Biomass-based power plants have been present for decades. However, the combustion process is accompanied by a remarkable production of thermal energy which is typically not exploited and therefore lost to the ambient. The current work presents an energetic solution to manage organic waste by employing green hydrogen production. To do so, a hybrid layout based on a cogeneration unit (CHP) fed with landfill gas is considered. The electrical power produced by the CHP is used to produce hydrogen through low-temperature water electrolysis. Furthermore, due to the significant waste heat available in the system, excess thermal power is employed for the methane steam reforming process through a heat recovery section. Hydrogen produced from the reforming section is green since the input is from landfill gas, which is considered renewable. The levelized cost of hydrogen produced from such a hybrid layout is obtained and compared with non-renewable sources in this field. In addition, the annual H2 production rate is calculated for a capacity factor equal to 70%. The results show an annual Hydrogen production of about 167 t/y. LCOH at the stack of about 2 €/kg is reported.
