“…From this, the economic, environmental, and social factors are the most accepted to define sustainability. Hence, these factors are known as the three pillars of sustainability, three dimensions of sustainability, or triple bottom lines (TBL) [47,48]. These dimensions are the basis to determine if a system can be defined as sustainable or not.…”

Biorefineries have been defined as complex systems where biomass is integrally processed to obtain value-added products and energy vectors, involving recent research advances, technological trends, and sustainable practices. These facilities are evolving since new pathways and challenges for biomass upgrading appear constantly aimed at increasing process sustainability. Nevertheless, few literature papers summarize how these new trends can improve biorefinery sustainability and boost the transition to renewable resources. This paper reviews several challenges and future perspectives before biorefinery implementation at the industrial level. Challenges related to waste stream valorization, multifeedstock use, biorefinery energy matrix diversification, and new products based on new biomass conversion pathways are reviewed. Thus, this paper provides an overview of the most recent trends and perspectives for improving biorefinery sustainability based on waste stream minimization, integral use of raw materials, and high-value bio-based compound production. A case study is discussed to show how integral biomass upgrading can improve the economic and environmental performance of existing processing facilities. Carbon dioxide capture, storage, and conversion, as well as energy matrix diversification, have been identified as the most important aspects of improving the environmental performance of biorefineries (decarbonization). Moreover, multifeedstock biorefineries are profiled as promising options for upgrading several biomass sources in small-scale and modular systems to produce value-added products for boosting rural bioeconomies. Finally, new ways to produce more bio-based products must be proposed to replace existing oil-based ones.

“…Dimensi lingkungan dari TBL terkait dengan pengelolaan sampah, pengurangan polusi, dan pengelolaan energi untuk keberlanjutan lingkungan. Dimensi ekonomi terkait dengan pentingnya pertumbuhan ekonomi jangka panjang yeng lebih berkelanjutan agar generasi berikutnya mendapat manfaat dari pembangunan yang dilakukan, yang mungkin kedepannya dapat mengurangi masalah pertumbuhan ekonomi yang stagnan dan permasalahan kemiskinan (Lerman, Benitez, Gerstlberger, Rodrigues, & Frank, 2021).…”

Pariwisata selama beberapa dekade terakhir telah menjadi sektor industri dengan pertumbuhan tercepat. Pada tahun 2019 kunjungan wisatawan di seluruh dunia mencapai 1,5 miliar wisatawan. Wisata pedesaan sebagai salah satu alternatif wisata diharapkan dapat memberikan berbagai manfaat bagi masyarakat desa tersebut. Desa Berjo sebagai salah satu desa wisata di Kabupaten Karanganyar memiliki perkembangan yang cukup signifikan yang setiap tahun dapat dikunjungi ratusan ribu wisatawan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menjelaskan bagaimana pengembangan Desa Wisata Berjo menuju ke arah mewujudkan SDGs desa mandiri dan aspek keberlanjutannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam dan studi dokumentasi. Informan dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan kerangka teori strukturasi Anthony Giddens dan triple bottom line John Elkington. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa agen strukturasi masih berada pada tahap signifikansi dan dominasi karena Desa Berjo masih berstatus sebagai desa berkembang dengan nilai IDM 0,6986. Besarnya pendapatan wisata yang seharusnya dapat memberikan berbagai manfaat bagi masyarakat, ternyata juga menjadi peluang terjadinya tindakan korupsi yang dilakukan oleh pemangku kepentingan desa dan pengelola wisata. Aspek keberlanjutan wisata Desa Berjo telah mendorong masyarakat untuk ikut berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan dan pengelolaan wisata sehingga dapat meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat dan mengurangi pengangguran. Program penghijauan, pemeliharaan lingkungan wisata dan manajemen pengelolaan sampah telah dilakukan untuk menjaga kualitas lingkungan.

“…RERs (Renewable Energy Resources) have attracted a market, and various RER-based models have been developed [6]. There have been varying behavioral trends and levels of social acceptance of RERs [7][8][9]. RERs mainly consist of solar, wind, biomass, and hydro energy, which are freely available primary sources, in contrast with traditional fossil fuels.…”

This research is done to find out a method by which the efficiency of a solar cell can be increased by using mirror concentrator to get a higher power and optimum efficiency. At first the sun lights are incident on the mirror concentrator made of plane glass and then the reflected rays are incident to the solar cell. Flat mirror concentrator (FMC) has been used to increase the incident irradiance on solar panel system by concentrating the sun light ray on it and then to improve the cell performance. A comparison is made for the same PV solar panel systems using single and triple flat mirror concentrator. It is a beneficial and important theory of solar power plant sector. It can be used in household and any kind of industrial area. The FMC consists of two flat mirrors made of glass, with dimensions (170cm × 80cm) enclosed by aluminum frame and inclined to an angle 55° with a solar panel (160cm × 120cm) tilted at 45° from the horizon. The results indicated that when the concentrator is used with the solar panel the efficiency increased by a factor of 4.52% to 11.34%. So, the increase in efficiency of the solar cell is 6.82%.
