Summary: Various technologies have been utilized to handle organic waste, capture biogas, and provide sustainable energy in Brazil, but the diffusion of biogas technology remains slow. The existence of a fragmented innovation system (IS) has hindered its expansion due to limited resources and recognition. To accelerate the expansion phase, energy markets must be established with support from utility companies and the creation of a national policy that includes short-term objectives for biogas and an outlined role for utilities in integrating renewable energy sources.

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
