An end-to-end pipeline for succinic acid production at an industrially relevant scale using Issatchenkia orientalis by Vinh G. Tran, Somesh Mishra, Sarang S. Bhagwat, Saman Shafaei, Yihui Shen, Jayne L. Allen, Benjamin A. Crosly, Shih-I Tan, Zia Fatma, Joshua D. Rabinowitz, Jeremy S. Guest, Vijay Singh, Huimin Zhao

“…Finally, we simulate an end-to-end low-pH SA production pipeline, and techno-economic analysis and life cycle assessment indicate our process is financially viable and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34–90% relative to fossil-based production processes. We expect I. orientalis can serve as a general industrial platform for production of organic acids.…”

COMBINED MOBILE POWER SYSTEM FOR THE STANDBY POWER SUPPLY OF THE LOW AND AVERAGE ELECTRICAL FACILITIES by F.P. Shkrabets, V.V. Berdnyk

“…The practical value of study is further development of the system which provides guaranteed uninterruptible energy supply and distribution of electric energy intended for low-power energy consumers to satisfy their needs; increasing the efficiency, flexibility and reliability of the system and, ultimately, reducing the energy dependence of the country on the import of traditional fossil energy resources, the conversion of which leads to negative consequences for the country's ecology. …”

Power systems’ performance under high renewables’ penetration rates: a natural experiment due to the COVID-19 demand shock by Francesco Pietro Colelli, Daan Witkop, Enrica De Cian, Massimo Tavoni

“…We find that low-cost dispatchable generation from hydro and nuclear sources has fulfilled most of the net-load even during peak hours, replacing more costly fossil-based generation. In Germany, the UK, and Spain coal power plants stood idle, while gas-fired generation has responded in heterogeneous ways across power systems. …”
