This study investigates an integrated valorization approach combining landfill gas (LFG) upgrading via Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA), multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) treatment of landfill leachate (LL), and green hydrogen (H₂) production via electrolysis powered by renewable energy. The proposed approach has been partially validated at the Borgo Montello landfill (Latina, Italy) through the implementation of LFG upgrading, LL treatment, and photovoltaic (PV) modules installed along the basin slopes to promote energy self-sufficiency. The strategy was evaluated through site-specific mass and energy balance analyses, comparing four scenarios: A) representing the conventional approach with LFG used in combined heat and power (CHP) units and external LL management; B) featuring LFG upgrading to biomethane (bioCH₄) and LL treatment via RO; C) an advanced model integrating H₂ production from treated LL using a PV-powered electrolyzer; and D) which builds upon Scenario C but proposes an alternative pathway for bioCH₄ valorization that eliminates the need for liquefaction. The mass balances indicated that the upgrading and liquefaction system achieved an 87 % (m/m) yield and 98 % purity in terms of methane, while the RO treatment displaced 68 % of water recovery and 99.9 % of contaminants rejection. Energy balances confirmed the viability of all configurations, with Scenario D delivering the highest energy surplus of +8938 MWh/year, followed by Scenario C (+5729 MWh/year), Scenario A (+5161 MWh/year), and Scenario B (+2418 MWh/year). Although Scenario A yields relatively high energy production, it provides limited resource valorization and circular economy benefits compared to the other scenarios, which integrate bioCH₄ and H₂ production within a more resource-efficient model. Overall, the results demonstrate that landfills can be repurposed into multi-functional energy hubs, contributing to circular economy goals, decarbonization, and resource recovery.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100561"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145417680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research tries to identify heterogeneity in carbon dioxide emissions, energy use, and GDP growth paths among BRICS nations and further explores using a technique of cointegration between the long-run relationship of these variables. The study employs secondary data obtained from World Development Indicators and panel data analysis to examine the interplay of the variables over the period 2009–2022. The analysis utilizes some of the following variables, that is, CO2 emissions per capita in metric tons, GDP per capita, and energy consumption per capita in oil equivalent. The techniques that will be utilized include those associated with the literature review (text analytics techniques) and other panel data models used for the data analysis, such as Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Breusch-Pagan Lagrange Multiplier (BP) test, Random Effects Model (REM), Fixed Effects Model (FEM), and Hausman test. The study also applies the first-generation and second-generation panel unit root tests to determine data stationarity, cross-sectional dependency, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, Pedroni cointegration tests, and the Dumitrescu-Hurlin Granger causality test to check causality. The findings are that there is no heterogeneity in the dispersion of CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and GDP growth across the BRICS countries. The cointegration tests further reveal the long-run relationship between these variables. This study finally looks for interlinkages between CO2 emissions, economic growth, and energy consumption for BRICS countries. Using an approach with panel data analysis, it contributes to ongoing policy debates on sustainable development and offers guidelines to policymakers in terms of reaching an expedient balance between economic growth and the preservation of the environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93548,"journal":{"name":"Energy nexus","volume":"20 ","pages":"Article 100556"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145417678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Density functional theory (DFT) analysis was further employed to examine the electronic properties, including band structure, density of states, and charge distribution, thereby linking nanoscale behavior to observed performance. The CA@ZnO membrane exhibited excellent efficiency in removing dissolved salts (Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), achieving 60 % rejection for NaCl, 44.03 % for CaCl₂, and 43.34 % for MgCl₂. It further enabled the removal of 70–80 % oil from oily wastewater and showed high adsorption efficiency for methylene blue dye in the visible spectrum range. In addition, the membrane exhibited substantial removal of toxic heavy metals (Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr³⁺, Fe³⁺) under optimized conditions. Compared to conventional polymeric RO membranes, the CA@ZnO composite showed enhanced stability, antimicrobial activity, and cost-effectiveness, addressing the challenges of fouling and limited selectivity. The novelty of this study lies in the dual role of ZnO nanoparticles, which not only improve ion rejection but also introduce photocatalytic activity for dye degradation, enabling multifunctional water purification in a single platform.

Notably, surplus electricity sales to the national grid could generate income 35–45 times the initial cost over 20 years for single-season plans and 31–38 times for double-season plans, with the initial investment recouped within six years.

Methodologically, we combine the Markov regime switching (MRS) model with the vector autoregressive (VAR) process and apply it to the Shenzhen and Hubei carbon markets. The results suggest that while the standard VAR model fails to capture any connection between geopolitical shocks and carbon returns, employing the MRS-VAR process reveals that GPR in fact exerts significant effects on the Chinese carbon markets implying that such effects appear to be regime-dependent. More specifically, the impact of geopolitical shocks is negative in the high volatility regime, but statistically insignificant in the low volatility regime.
