Summary: The first step for a sugar factory to become CO2 neutral is to replace the existing drum drier with a steam drier, with a cost of approximately €250 per ton of CO2 reduction per year. This reduces the factory's CO2 emissions by approximately 33%. The second step is to burn the steam-dried sugar beet pulp in the boiler, making the factory CO2 neutral, except for the lime kiln. There may be some excess sugar beet pulp depending on the efficiency of the sugar factory.

Summary: This study uses sensitivity analysis to evaluate the suitability of non-equilibrium gas diffusion and gas exchange processes in accounting for the development of anaerobic hotspots and N2O production and emissions. The research findings suggest that the development of anaerobic hotspots is controlled by both physical and geochemical parameters. Additionally, the simulation model successfully reproduces spatiotemporal variations in greenhouse gas concentrations and fluxes in an agricultural soil in Canada.

Summary: Soil respiration is influenced by a variety of factors including vegetation density, monsoon phases, and microbial and root biomass. Heterotrophic respiration is the major contributor to soil respiration in medium to high-density vegetation, while autotrophic respiration dominates in low-density vegetation during certain monsoon phases. The partitioning of root biomass plays a crucial role in regulating the components of soil respiration.

Summary: Poland serves as a textbook example of an energy transition economy, aiming to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This review investigates the challenges and opportunities for local resilience, with a focus on the Low Carbon Economy Plans (LCEP) of the ten largest cities in Poland. The study employs a methodology that includes bibliometric analysis of peer-reviewed studies and K-means clustering of selected Polish cities. The findings highlight the neglected dimensions of institutional and political factors in low-carbon transition research, emphasizing the importance of empirical analysis at the city level. The study identifies three modes of development and underscores the need to understand the impacts of low-carbon policies on energy transitions and local resilience.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
