“…In 2013, the Hadera Deepwater Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU), with a capacity of approximately 2.5 bcm per year (half of Israel's demand), was commissioned. In the case of Egypt, the transmission infrastructure is being intensively expanded, which is also a consequence of the country's increasing gas consumption [15]. Two pipelines, each with a length of 216 km, connecting the Zohr gas field to the onshore gas facility in El-Gamil, are of paramount importance.…”

“…The development of gas infrastructure in light of challenges to its distribution is a special area of attention [9,10]. However, the expansion of natural gas transmission capacity in CEEs and in Eastern Mediterranean countries is usually perceived from the perspective of the interests of a specific country [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This study aims to address the aforementioned issue from a more comprehensive regional standpoint.…”

Energy security plays a key role in the functioning of societies; therefore, every country should strive to ensure it. The Russian–Ukrainian dispute has destabilised the fuel market in Europe. In particular, the natural gas sector in Central and Eastern European countries (CEEs) has been disrupted. Poland was forced to reorganise its gas distribution from the eastern to the northern direction. Other Central European countries are also actively working towards independence from Russian gas. Certainly, a viable alternative for most CEEs is to access hydrocarbons located in the Eastern Mediterranean. The development of the gas transmission infrastructure between this region and the CEE can strengthen their energy security. This article provides an SWOT analysis showing that the commissioning of a new gas infrastructure for distributing gas from the Eastern Mediterranean to CEEs is important for their energy security and provides the opportunity to disconnect from Russian gas. The research results may be useful for analysts, entrepreneurs, or policymakers interested in the CEEs’ gas sector.

“…The main objective of numerous studies has been to determine the causal relationship between economic growth and environmental deterioration, and concluded mixed results. Some research revealed that the protection of the environment is negatively impacted by economic growth, and as a result, economic strength is regarded as a stimulant that causes environmental damage, especially in the early stages of growth when the economy is heavily reliant on oil and gas as referenced for N11 nations [ 21 ], for Bangladesh [ 22 ], for MENA region [ 23 ], for top African suppliers of natural gas [ 24 ], for Pakistan [ 25 , 26 ], for Egypt [ 27 , 28 ], for USA and Europe [ 29 ], for South Asia [ 30 ], and for developing countries [ 31 ].…”

“…Thus, a certain amount of heat and its equivalent energy will always remain unconverted. Based on these principles, exergy can be defined as the maximum valuable work that can be obtained from a mechanical or electrical system when it is thermodynamically balanced with the environment [10]. An exergy-based analysis provides a more meaningful evaluation of the efficiency and sustainability of power plants.…”

Energy and Exergy-Based Efficiency, Sustainability and Economic Assessment towards Improved Energy Management of a Thermal Power Plant: A Case Study

This paper explores the energy management of a natural gas-based thermal power plant, with a focus on improving its efficiency, sustainability, and economic feasibility. The study uses the Ashuganj Power Station Company Limited (APSCL) in Bangladesh as a case study. To evaluate the efficiency of the APSCL, both energy and exergy perspectives are considered, and sustainability is assessed through exergetic parameters. The plant’s economic feasibility is analyzed based on its fuel costs and operational losses. The results of the study indicate that the energy and exergy efficiencies of the APSCL vary from 32.97% to 33.21% and from 32.63% to 32.87%, respectively, for steam turbines and from 39.77% to 56.98% and from 39.36% to 56.40%, respectively, for combined cycle power plants (CCPP) during 2016–2021. The slightly lower efficiency in exergy calculations accounts for the system loss incurred over time, which is often omitted in efficiency calculations using energy parameters. To measure the sustainability of the APSCL, eight key indicators are used: the depletion number, exergy sustainable index, cumulative exergy loss, relative irreversibility, lack of production, the wasted exergy ratio, environmental effect factor, and improvement potential. The results indicate that APSCL still has opportunities for improvement in terms of sustainability, with 50% of the fuel being depleted in the plant, contributing to a sustainable index of 2.00 and cumulative exergy loss varying between 48.59 and 21.17. Regarding financial costs and losses, APSCL has experienced an increasing trend in the price of electricity generated. However, by implementing intelligent maintenance practices and upgrading equipment in a timely manner, it is possible to minimize costs and increase exergy output, reducing the per-unit fuel requirement for electricity production and the global carbon footprint significantly.
