Review on heat pump (HP) coupled with phase change material

However, when using HP for energy supplies, there is often an imbalance between supply and demand of the grid [10].Thermal energy storage (TES) can overcome this drawback by demand-side management [11].For example, a large number of HP is in operation in colder weather, creating a large peak load on the grid because heat to supply is typically related to

Post COVID-19 ENERGY sustainability and carbon

Energy is one of the keys supporting economic development and playing an essential in our daily life. It is the sector that contributes significantly to various sustainability issues, such as GHG (Greenhouse Gases) emissions [1], air pollutants [2], water use [3], and poverty [4].At the same time, the energy sector has prevalent room for improvement and is the

Hydrogen in energy transition: A review

Despite its disadvantages, it is integral for long-term carbon-neutral energy storage solutions that enable the unique diversity of RES technologies. To fully recover after the post-pandemic economic crisis, governments worldwide are forced to establish new policies, which can be seen as a chance to support the green energy transition [ 10 ].

Carbon Neutral Energy

Bioenergy produced from biomass is sometimes called a carbon-neutral energy source, because the same quantity of carbon released when the biomass is burned is sequestered again when the crop or forest is regrown (Fig. 2).Referring to bioenergy as carbon neutral or having zero net emissions may be misleading; there are emissions associated with producing the biomass,
