“…With regard to these issues, solutions are being sought globally. One method by which to do this is through the creation of a ecosystem in urban areas which has direct implications on the environment, economy, society, and politics of a region and country [ 42 , 43 , 44 ], while at the same time involving all the manifestations of human life and influencing human health, well-being and lifestyle [ 45 ]. Therefore, it is stated that human health is a part of ecosystem health [ 35 ].…”

The identification of the main steps for the creation of a unified ecosystem from the institutional point of view and the framework for ecosystem design is presented and discussed. Based on the expertise and the knowledge gained during the time when the ELISE project had been implemented, a unified Kaunas city ecosystem is being designed using the Ecosystem Map method. As the review of the ELISE project reports helped to identify the main steps of each project partner in building ecosystems’ networks, Kaunas city chose to create a co-Creation Hub (c-CH), which is the first step in developing an ecosystem management model. The main tasks of such a hub are listed, and should involve the preparation of a long-term action plan involving not only the coordination of the stakeholder meetings, organisation of seminars, the preparation of new materials, and methodology but also the development of a clear strategy for each stakeholder based on national economy and government and municipality policies. The role of the c-CH is to ensure the ease of cooperation and knowledge distribution among stakeholders within the city, public authorities, and the national government. This approach could become a fundamental background tool for the regional and/or city municipal and stakeholder-based creation and development of unified ecosystem development.

“…Sustainable process designs include various concepts to achieve sustainable solutions; examples are cleaner production [66], zero waste processes [67], zero carbon emission technologies [68], LCA environmental impact assessment in early design phases [69], eco-efficiency indicators [70], etc. Recently, the concept of circular economy has become particularly popular and sometimes even overcomes the term sustainable development, although the terms are by no means equivalent [71].…”

This review paper describes some historical facts, the state of the art of process design and sustainable development. In the Introduction the most important global megatrends are presented and the European Union response to them, the European Green Deal. Process design and sustainable development are dealt with separately and holistically. Organization of professionals from the area, their conferences and publication are supporting the two topics. A short analysis of the published documents in two most popular databases shows that environmental dimension is prevailing, followed by economic one while social pillar of sustainable development is undervalued. The most important design tools for sustainability are described. An important practical case, the European chemical and process industries are analyzed and their achievements in sustainable development are shown; in particular their strategies are presented in more detail. The conclusions are embracing the most urgent future development areas of process industries, carbon capture with utilization or storage, the process analysis, simulation, synthesis and optimization tools; zero waste, circular economy and resource efficiency are already playing an important role. But deeper changes are needed in the future decades including de-growth with changes of habits, lifestyles, and business models. Lifelong education for sustainable development will play a very important role in the growth of democracy and happiness instead of the consumerism and neoliberalism.

High-performance spintronic water-splitting devices with high applied power, spintronic population under room temperature have been demonstrated by the Ce 2 O 3 small polaron surface state-based spintronic injection system. Spintronic entanglement tomography decrypts the information about ultrahigh-energy conversion efficiency as high as 140% and the optimal applied voltage 0.682 V.Ce +3 ions demonstrate unpaired d orbital for achieving spin-orbital coupling by accepting the quantum information of angular momentum, spin, and orbital from incident laser light which modulated by ħ + ħ (""), ħ + (− ħ) (#"), ħ -(−ħ) ("#) and (−ħ) + (−ħ) (##) angular momentum. A practical way is been provided for achieving the spintronic entanglement in water splitting devices by describing the correlations between spintronic that interact and then separate. Thus, the quantum computing algorithm is encrypted and well decrypted by spin-orbital coupling. Besides, in this research, we demonstrated an ultrahigh energy conversion water splitting cells with spintronic injection and spintronic entanglement. Comparing with theory power for water splitting, the spintronic entanglement water splitting devices in our research saved 30% power to achieve water splitting and hydrogen generation.
