Navigating the hydrogen prospect:A comprehensive review of sustainable source-based production technologies,transport solutions,advanced storage mechanisms,and CCUS integration

The review is a comprehensive discussion of current research advances,commercial scale developments,challenges,and techno-eco nomics for the entire H_(2) value chain,including production,mainly focusing on sustainable sources,storage,and transport.The challenges,advantages,and uses of H_(2) energy are included at length.Moreover,apart from the sustainable production approaches,the approaches and current developments for combating the carbon dioxide(CO_(2))emissions from existing H_(2) production facilities are highlighted in terms of ca rbon capture,utilization,and storage(CCUS).Concisely,the review discusses current material and recent technological adva ncements in developing pilot projects and large-scale establishments for viable and rapidly emerging sou rce-ba sed H_(2) productio n.Moreover,the review also aims to provide an in-depthdiscussion and explore current developments based on the advantages of H_(2) energy in terms of its utilization,based on its high energy density,and its ability to be used as a feedstock and fuel.On the other hand,the challenges of H_(2) are also elabo rated.Next,the role of CCUS in a carbon-neutral economy and value chain for minimization of emissions from existing facilities is thoroughly deliberated,and the recent commercial-scale implementation of CCUS technologies is highlighted.Extending the utilization and recycling of captured CO_(2) emissions along with H_(2) to produce e-fuels in terms of current advances is detailed in this review.Fu rthermore,the most applicable,efficient,a nd develo ping approaches are discussed for physical and chemical H_(2) storage,considering recent la rge-scale implementations of liquid carriers and liquid organic hydrogen carriers as storage options.Lastly,the review elaborates on recent insights into advances in H_(2) transport infrastructure,including compressed and liquid H_(2) delivery via roads,ships,pipelines,and flight cargo.The review gives precise insights into the recent scenario through an elaborated conclusion of each discussion topic separately and a discussion of future perspectives.The current review will help researchers to fully understand the ongoing research advancements and challenges in the H_(2) value chain for formulating new solutions for sustainable H_(2) production,alo ng with focusing on suitable approaches for its storage and tra nsport to make the production and utilization of H_(2) applicable on a large scale.

Modelling on source-based trash management oriented towards oceans governance

Oriented towards oceans governance,this article delves into the management of land-based pollutants such as plastics.Waste such as plastics is having a grave impact on environment.The micro-plastic accretion in the oceans endangers sustainable development.However,the land-based waste disposal,both on the land and on the sea,has been a typical “tragedy of the commons” problems for the communities of the whole world.To save the oceans and to safeguard the sustainable development,we need more than ever to develop a better awareness of shared future for oceans.This article makes an assessment of the Shanghai practice in trash sorting.Through reviewing the trash segregation management procedures,it explores for an optimum solution through innovating a source-based trash management model.To jointly cope with the challenges for sustainable development,the article also intends to create a consensus on building a Trash Management Organization for Coastal Cities in response to the principle of building a community of shared future for mankind.

Emission source-based ozone isopleth and isosurface diagrams and their significance in ozone pollution control strategies

In the past decade,ozone(O_(3))pollution has been continuously worsening in most developing countries.The accurate identification of the nonlinear relationship between O_(3) and its precursors is a prerequisite for formulating effective O_(3) control measures.At present,precursor-based O_(3) isopleth diagrams are widely used to infer O_(3) control strategy at a particular location.However,there is frequently a large gap between the O_(3)-precursor nonlinearity delineated by the O_(3) isopleths and the emission source control measures to reduce O_(3) levels.Consequently,we developed an emission source-based O_(3) isopleth diagram that directly illustrates the O_(3) level changes in response to synergistic control on two types of emission sources using a validated numerical modeling system and the latest regional emission inventory.Isopleths can be further upgraded to isosurfaces when co-control on three types of emission sources is investigated.Using Guangzhou and Foshan as examples,we demonstrate that similar precursor-based O_(3) isopleths can be associated with significantly different emission source co-control strategies.In Guangzhou,controlling solvent use emissions was the most effective approach to reduce peak O_(3) levels.In Foshan,co-control of on-road mobile,solvent use,and fixed combustion sources with a ratio of 3:1:2 or 3:1:3 was best to effectively reduce the peak O_(3) levels below 145 ppbv.This study underscores the importance of using emission source-based O_(3) isopleths and isosurface diagrams to guide a precursor emission control strategy that can effectively reduce the peak O_(3) levels in a particular area.

Associations between levels of Internet Gaming Disorder symptoms and striatal morphology–replication and associations with social anxiety

Background:Brain structural alterations of the striatum have been frequently observed in internet gaming disorder(IGD);however,the replicability of the results and the associations with social-affective dysregulations such as social anxiety remain to be determined.Methods:The present study combined a dimensional neuroimaging approach with both voxel-wise and data-driven multivariate approaches to(i)replicate our previous results on a negative association between IGD symptom load(assessed by the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form)and striatal volume,(ii)extend these findings to female individuals,and(iii)employ multivariate and mediation models to determine common brain structural representations of IGD and social anxiety(assessed by the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale).Results:In line with the original study,the voxel-wise analyses revealed a negative association between IGD and volumes of the bilateral caudate.Going beyond the earlier study investigating only male participants,the present study demonstrates that the association in the right caudate was comparable in both the male and the female subsamples.Further examination using themultivariate approach revealed regionally different associations between IGD and social anxiety with striatal density representations in the dorsal striatum(caudate)and ventral striatum(nucleus accumbens).Higher levels of IGD were associated with higher social anxiety and the association was critically mediated by the multivariate neurostructural density variations of the striatum.Conclusions:Altered striatal volumes may represent a replicable and generalizable marker of IGD symptoms.However,exploratory multivariate analyses revealed more complex and regional specific associations between striatal density and IGD as well as social anxiety symptoms.Variations in both tendencies may share common structural brain representations,which mediate the association between increased IGD and social anxiety.
