Qatar's energy policy in the field of renewable energy

Qatar has abundant oil and gas reserves and has made extensive investments in renewable energy according to the zero-carbon policy in recent years. Renewable energy is vital for Qatar, and many investments and plans have been made in this country. Therefore, this article examines Qatar's energy policy in renewable energy using a mixed quantitative-qualitative methodology. In this article, an attempt has been made to answer the question, what is Qatar's energy policy in the field of renewable energy? As a hypothesis, Qatar's energy policy has changed from dependence on non-renewable energies to using and developing renewable energies to stabilize its energy security in the coming decades. Also, the theoretical framework of energy security has been used to test the hypothesis. The research findings indicate that Qatar has also adopted this policy due to the significant changes in the orientation of developed and developing countries towards new energies. Like many Persian Gulf countries, Qatar's policies have been aimed at reducing carbon. With extensive investments and long-term planning until 2030, Qatar can become a model country in the Middle East region in terms of renewable energy. This issue and fossil fuels give Qatar a special place that can turn Qatar into a fossil and renewable energy hub.

This research work aims at the design and development of a disruptive prototype for a Self-sufficient power plant (SSPP) prototype composed by cascaded disruptive power units (PUs) doing work by isothermal contraction-expansion processes. The innovative design integrates thermo-hydraulic actuators enabled to drive hydraulic pumps connected to a hydraulic motor-generator. The prototype's cascaded PUs operates on a double closed processes-based isochoric-isothermal-isochoric-isothermal (VTVT) thermal cycle, enabled to do useful work by contraction and expansion of a thermal working fluid (TWF), which is notable for its high specific work output and high thermal efficiency. This is due to a disruptive cascaded heat recovering technique associated to a heat upgrading strategy. Among the most relevant Key Features are its self-sufficient operation modes that challenge traditional limitations of second-kind perpetual motion machines (PMMs) The expected capabilities on the basis of the consistency of empirical analysis are summarized as: - Design based on the optimal number of cascaded power units, - Efficient generation of useful mechanical work through expansion and contraction of the TWF, - High specific useful work (kJ/kg of TWF), such as helium, - Low ratio of actuator volume and weight to specific work. Preliminary tentative validation: The prototype design model was validated through case studies using air and helium as real TWFs. Empirical results demonstrate the SSPP's exceptional performance under certain conditional restrictions. - The optimal SSPP completed with nine cascaded PUs each operating on a double-VTVT cycle per PU. - Helium: RIT value of 0.9 and 9 PUs coupled in cascade to give an SSI of 156.72and a SSEP yield of 922.23 kJ/kg.cy. - Air: RIT value of 0.9 and 9 PUs coupled in a shell to give an SSI of 27.41 and a SSEP production of 37.67 kJ/kg.cy. These findings highlight the prototype's potential to significantly advance energy production efficiency and self-sufficiency in power generation systems.

Use of butanol, pentanol and diesel in a compression ignition engine: A review

Using oxygenated alternative fuels in compression ignition (CI) engines is feasible for energy security problems and cli-mate change. Alcohols are regarded as alternative fuels for compression ignition engines because of their excellent physi-cochemical features, emission, and combustion characteristics. Research on alcohols and their additions has progressed significantly in recent years. Several researchers have examined the combined effect of higher alcohol with diesel and their impact and challenged that concentrations of higher alcohol reduce harmful particulate emissions in CI engines. This paper mainly focused on the performance and emissions properties of higher alcohols like butanol and pentanol. Alcohol has a low energy content, typically affecting engine brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC). Low-temperature combustion (LTC) in compression ignition engines can lower NOx and smoke emissions, and improve the efficiency of the engine. LTC is done by combining higher alcohol with increased exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate and retarded fuel injection timing. The higher alcohol, along with the oxygen in the fuel reduces exhaust fumes, improves the air/fuel mixture by providing a longer ignition delay (ID), and can replace the fossil fuel like diesel (partially or whole) to allow efficient and clean combustion in CI engines. Finally, several significant findings and comments are provided regarding potential ave-nues for experimental research and future development. According to thorough analysis, bio-alcohols are considered to be a substitute fuel for CI engines.

Promoting real-time electricity tariffs for more demand response from German households: a review of four policy options

Abstract Background Demand response is an important option for accommodating growing shares of renewable electricity, and therefore, crucial for the success of the energy transition in Germany and elsewhere. In conjunction with smart meters, real-time (or ‘dynamic’) electricity tariffs can facilitate the flexibilization of power consumption and reduce energy bills. Whilst such tariffs are already quite common in several EU member states, Germany lags behind in this respect. The country makes for an interesting case study because of the sheer volume of additional flexibility that its energy transition necessitates. Main text This paper discusses how German policymakers can make real-time tariffs more attractive for households and thus entice them to better adapt their consumption to current market conditions. Following an analysis of the current impediments to the adoption of such tariffs, we discuss four policy options: (1) a more ambitious legal definition of real-time tariffs that can promote market transparency and leverage potential savings for consumers, (2) a shift in energy taxation that encourages the uptake of renewable power and increases price spreads, (3) a new model of dynamic network charges which combines grid-serving and market-serving incentives, and (4) a subsidy for users of real-time tariffs that helps internalise the benefits they provide to all electricity consumers. Given the similar regulatory framework, our suggestions should generally also apply to other countries in Europe and beyond. Conclusions Overall, we argue that there is considerable scope for policymakers to better exploit market forces to ensure security of electricity supply at lower social cost. Our call for stricter regulation in order to allow the markets to better guide consumer behaviour may seem like a paradox—but it is one well worth embracing.

Land use change and its impact on ecosystem service value in Xinjiang

Abstract Xinjiang is an important hub connecting China and Eurasia and has an important strategic position in economy, energy, and ecological security. However, due to the fragile ecological environment in Xinjiang, there are substantial challenges in coordinating the relationship between social and economic development and ecological environment construction. To elucidate the relationship between land use changes induced by human activities and the valuation of ecosystem services, this study utilized the value equivalent method to evaluate the ecosystem service value in Xinjiang from 2000 to 2020 while analyzing its spatiotemporal response characteristics related to land use. The results showed that from 2000 to 2020, the value of ecosystem services in Xinjiang showed an upward trend, reaching 182.24 yuan/hm2 in 2020, and the total value of the whole region was 302.584 billion yuan. The value of ecological services in Xinjiang is mainly low-grade (about 50%), and high-grade only accounts for 1.03%~2.19%. There was a significant increase in land use in forested areas and water bodies, while the conversion trend from effective grassland to other land types was relatively limited. Specifically, 4.47% of bare ground and 3.76% of meadows transformed water bodies. Additionally, 2.69% of grassland experienced conversion into woodland. The land use intensity was generally low (more than 85% of the low-grade grades), and 83.71% of the land use intensity increased during the study period. The water area was the main controlling factor of the service value of the state system, with a contribution rate of 78.83%, followed by grassland (11.29%) and woodlands (9.30%), and 54.39% of the land use changes increased the value of ecosystem services.

Israel as India’s Pivot in the IMEC

India’s policy on the Middle East has broadly been bilateral and in the process, it had to strike a fine balance in furthering relations with countries that are rivals. Its “Look West” policy, introduced in 2005, made some inroads in the Middle East, enlarging its economic and strategic footprints. In recent years, it has stepped up its engagements through minilateral and multilateral frameworks by joining India, Israel, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (I2U2) grouping and jointly launching the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). The I2U2 was launched in 2020 for expansive economic cooperation in vital areas of water, energy, transportation, space, health, and food security. It was catalyzed in the backdrop of the Abraham Accords. In September 2023, during the G20 summit in New Delhi, seven countries, namely, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, and the European Union (EU), signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the IMEC. The October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and its attendant consequences have threatened to derail this multilateral cooperation, but India and other signatories have remained steadfast in their commitment to IMEC, raising hope for its future.

Integrating Blockchain Technology in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains

This paper presents a transformative approach to enhancing transparency, security, and traceability. By utilizing a decentralized ledger system, stakeholders can access real-time data about drug provenance and distribution, thereby increasing consumer confidence and improving regulatory compliance. Existing pharmaceutical supply chains face significant challenges, including counterfeit drugs, lack of visibility, and inefficiencies in tracking products through complex logistics networks. These issues lead to financial losses, compromised patient safety, and regulatory penalties. This study proposes a novel framework, the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain using Blockchain Technology (PSC-BCT), designed to address these existing challenges. The PSC-BCT framework leverages smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and IoT integration to create a secure, transparent, and efficient supply chain ecosystem. This framework enables all participants, from manufacturers to pharmacists, to share and verify transaction data, thereby enhancing accountability and reducing the risk of fraud. The proposed method is utilized to streamline operations, reduce delays, and enhance data integrity within the pharmaceutical supply chain. By ensuring that every transaction is recorded immutably, stakeholders can verify product authenticity and track the drug's journey from production to the end consumer. The findings indicate that the PSC-BCT framework significantly improves supply chain transparency and efficiency while reducing instances of counterfeit drugs. Furthermore, the implementation of blockchain technology fosters trust among stakeholders and enhances compliance with regulatory standards, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and safety.

From Fossil Fuels to Renewables: Clustering European Primary Energy Production from 1990 to 2022

This study examines the structural shifts in primary energy production across European countries from 1990 to 2022, focusing on changes in energy sources and their implications for energy security and sustainability. Set against a backdrop of evolving geopolitical landscapes, economic pressures, and climate policies, including significant recent impacts such as the conflict in Ukraine, this research highlights the critical importance of a stable and diversified energy supply. The analysis utilizes the k-means clustering method, examining countries for which data are available in the Eurostat database and considering primary energy sources as defined by the Standard International Energy Product Classification (SIEC), including solid fossil fuels, natural gas, crude oil, nuclear energy, renewable energy sources, peat, and non-renewable waste. By categorizing European nations into clusters based on their energy production profiles, the study reveals substantial transitions from fossil fuel-based systems to those increasingly dominated by renewable energy sources. While some countries have made significant progress in integrating renewables, others remain heavily dependent on traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas. The findings underscore the growing role of natural gas as a bridge fuel and the relatively stable contribution of nuclear energy in certain regions. A key outcome is the observed disparity between energy production and consumption across Europe, with many large economies facing a persistent deficit in domestic energy production, resulting in a high reliance on energy imports, particularly of natural gas and oil. This dependency poses significant challenges to energy security, especially given recent geopolitical disruptions and market fluctuations. The paper also discusses the environmental implications of these energy trends, emphasizing the vital role of renewable energy in achieving the European Union’s decarbonization goals.

Behavior of the Electricity and Gas Grids When Injecting Synthetic Natural Gas Produced with Electricity Surplus of Rooftop PVs

Distributed generation and sector coupling are key factors for economic decarbonization. Because gas networks have a large storage capacity, they have attracted the attention of power engineers to use them to increase the flexibility and security of supply in the presence of renewable and distributed energy resources. This paper makes the first attempt to integrate the electricity and gas systems to fill available gas storage facilities with synthetic natural gas on a large scale. This synthetic natural gas can then be used to operate gas turbines and to compensate for the fluctuating production of renewable energy sources. The LINK-holistic architecture, which integrates renewable and distributed energy resources, is used in this work. It facilitates sector coupling, which means power-to-gas and gas-to-power, throughout the entire power grid and at the customer level. This work is limited to investigating the power-to-gas process at the prosumer level. The electricity surplus of rooftop PVs is used to produce synthetic natural gas, fed into the gas grid after covering the local gas load. The behaviors of the electricity and gas grids are investigated. Results show that electricity prosumers may also become prosumers of synthetic natural gas. The current unidirectional gas grids should be upgraded with compressors at pressure reduction groups to turn them bidirectional, allowing synthetic natural gas storage in the existing large gas storage appliances after considering the pipes’ linepack effect. The proposed solution could make it possible to fill the underground storage plants in summer, when the electricity and synthetic natural gas production exceed electrical and gas demand, respectively.
