TL;DR: In this article, the authors extensively review the principles of anaerobic digestion, the process parameters and their interaction, the design methods, the biogas utilisation, the possible problems and potential pro-active cures, and the recent developments to reduce the impact of the problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology to predict hourly beam (direct) irradiation from available monthly averages, based upon combined previous literature findings and available meteorological data, and illustrate predictions for different selected STC locations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main beneficial properties of anaerobic digestion are discussed and the potential, opportunities and challenges of these biomasses are discussed, and the typical biogas yield and points of attention are included.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs), mainly using liquid-solid transition to store latent heat, allows a more compact, efficient and therefore economical system to operate.

TL;DR: A comprehensive summary of the current state of knowledge regarding advances and achievements in the field of the chemocatalytic conversion of ethanol and butanediols to butadiene is presented, including thermodynamics and kinetic aspects of the reactions with discussions on the reaction pathways and the type of catalysts developed.
