How to build a sustainable data center based on Big Data Analytics, AI, BI and other Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies and powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
If a Big Data Analytics data center is equipped with advanced generative artificial intelligence technology and is powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources, can it be referred to as sustainable, pro-climate, pro-environment, green, etc.?
Advanced analytical systems, including complex forecasting models that enable multi-criteria, highly sophisticated, big data and information processing-based forecasts of the development of multi-faceted climatic, natural, social, economic and other processes are increasingly based on new Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including Big Data Analytics and machine learning, deep learning and generative artificial intelligence. The use of generative artificial intelligence technologies enables the application of complex data processing algorithms according to precisely defined assumptions and human-defined factors. The use of computerized, integrated business intelligence information systems allows real-time analysis on the basis of continuously updated data provided and the generation of reports, reports, expert opinions in accordance with the defined formulas for such studies. The use of digital twin technology allows computers to build simulations of complex, multi-faceted, prognosticated processes in accordance with defined scenarios of the potential possibility of these processes occurring in the future. In this regard, it is also important to determine the probability of occurrence in the future of several different defined and characterized scenarios of developments, specific processes, phenomena, etc. In this regard, Business Intelligence analytics should also make it possible to precisely determine the level of probability of the occurrence of a certain phenomenon, the operation of a process, the appearance of described effects, including those classified as opportunities and threats to the future development of the situation. Besides, Business Intelligence analytics should enable precise quantitative estimation of the scale of influence of positive and negative effects of the operation of certain processes, as well as factors acting on these processes and determinants conditioning the realization of certain scenarios of situation development. Cloud computing makes it possible, on the one hand, to update the database with new data and information from various institutions, think tanks, research institutes, companies and enterprises operating within a selected sector or industry of the economy, and, on the other hand, to enable simultaneous use of a database updated in this way by many beneficiaries, many business entities and/or, for example, also by many Internet users in a situation where the said database would be made available on the Internet. In a situation where Internet of Things technology is applied, it would be possible to access the said database from the level of various types of devices equipped with Internet access. The application of Blockchain technology makes it possible to increase the scale of cybersecurity of the transfer of data sent to the database and Big Data information as part of the updating of the collected data and as part of the use of the analytical system thus built by external entities. The use of machine learning and/or deep learning technologies in conjunction with artificial neural networks makes it possible to train an AI-based system to perform multi-criteria analysis, build multi-criteria simulation models, etc. in the way a human would. In order for such complex analytical systems that process large amounts of data and information to work efficiently it is a good solution to use state-of-the-art super quantum computers characterized by high computing power to process huge amounts of data in a short time. A center for multi-criteria analysis of large data sets built in this way can occupy quite a large floor space equipped with many servers. Due to the necessary cooling and ventilation system and security considerations, this kind of server room can be built underground. while due to the large amounts of electricity absorbed by this kind of big data analytics center, it is a good solution to build a power plant nearby to supply power to the said data center. If this kind of data analytics center is to be described as sustainable, in line with the trends of sustainable development and green transformation of the economy, so the power plant powering the data analytics center should generate electricity from renewable energy sources, e.g. from photovoltaic panels, windmills and/or other renewable and emission-free energy sources of such a situation, i.e., when a data analytics center that processes multi-criteria Big Data and Big Data Analytics information is powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources then it can be described as sustainable, pro-climate, pro-environment, green, etc. Besides, when the Big Data Analytics analytics center is equipped with advanced generative artificial intelligence technology and is powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources then the AI technology used can also be described as sustainable, pro-climate, pro-environment, green, etc. On the other hand, the Big Data Analytics center can be used to conduct multi-criteria analysis and build multi-faceted simulations of complex climatic, natural, economic, social processes, etc. with the aim of, for example. to develop scenarios of future development of processes observed up to now, to create simulations of continuation in the future of diagnosed historical trends, to develop different variants of scenarios of situation development according to the occurrence of certain determinants, to determine the probability of occurrence of said determinants, to estimate the scale of influence of external factors, the scale of potential materialization of certain categories of risk, the possibility of the occurrence of certain opportunities and threats, estimation of the level of probability of materialization of the various variants of scenarios, in which the potential continuation of the diagnosed trends was characterized for the processes under study, including the processes of sustainable development, green transformation of the economy, implementation of sustainable development goals, etc. Accordingly, the data analytical center built in this way can, on the one hand, be described as sustainable, since it is powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources. In addition to this, the data analytical center can also be helpful in building simulations of complex multi-criteria processes, including the continuation of certain trends of determinants influencing the said processes and the factors co-creating them, which concern the potential development of sustainable processes, e.g. economic, i.e. concerning sustainable economic development. Therefore, the data analytical center built in this way can be helpful, for example, in developing a complex, multifactor simulation of the progressive global warming process in subsequent years, the occurrence in the future of the negative effects of the deepening scale of climate change, the negative impact of these processes on the economy, but also to forecast and develop simulations of the future process of carrying out a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-loop economy. So, the sustainable data analytical center built in this way will be able to be defined as sustainable due to the supply of renewable and zero-carbon energy sources, but will also be helpful in developing simulations of future processes of green transformation of the economy carried out according to certain assumptions, defined determinants, estimated probability of occurrence of certain impact factors and conditions, etc. orz estimating costs, gains and losses, opportunities and threats, identifying risk factors, particular categories of risks and estimating the feasibility of the defined scenarios of the green transformation of the economy planned to be implemented. In this way, a sustainable data analytical center can also be of great help in the smooth and rapid implementation of the green transformation of the economy.

How does renewable energy reduce ecological footprint and role of renewable energy in climate change?
Can renewable energies solve the grave problem of climate change and transition to renewable energy sources addressed reducing global warming and air pollution?
What should be the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources in order for the national energy system to be safe and emission-free, i.e. in line with the green transformation of the economy and the realization of sustainable development goals?
What should be the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources so that the national energy system is characterized by independence from various factors and a high level of energy security?
The structure of the energy mix of various energy sources is determined by a number of factors. On the one hand, these are historical factors, technological, geographic, natural, economic conditions, etc. On the other hand, these are the determinants arising from a certain adopted energy policy, including taking into account the implementation of the goals of sustainable development, the principles of green transformation of the energy sector, social climate and environmental responsibility, and taking care of prospective future energy security. Taking into account the aforementioned determinants, there is a non-uniform structure of the energy mix of various energy sources in different countries. Taking into account the mentioned energy policy issues, the structure of the energy mix of various energy sources should be constructed in such a way that the national energy system, on the one hand, is characterized by independence from various factors and a high level of energy security, and, on the other hand, should also be in line with the green transformation of the economy and the implementation of sustainable development goals. In Poland in recent years, in terms of renewable energy sources, photovoltaic was the most significant in the structure of the share of installed capacity. Wind power came second, hydroelectric power was third, followed by biomass and biogas power plants. Unfortunately, still more than 70 percent of electricity and even more thermal energy is generated in Poland in conventional thermal power plants powered by coal or lignite. Successively from year to year, as part of the progressive green transformation of the energy industry, the share of various types of renewable energy sources in the energy mix of energy sources is steadily increasing.

Could renewable energy completely replace fossil fuels and if solar and wind power are so much cleaner than fossil fuels, why aren’t we using them more?
Can the installation of heat pumps powered by renewable energy sources significantly reduce the scale of the increase in the cost of generating heat and power or completely solve the energy crisis that exists in countries with a predominantly coal-based energy industry and thereby increase the level of energy independence and security?
In 2022, the scale of sales of heat pumps in Poland increased by approximately 100 per cent compared to the previous year. This was due to the energy crisis generated by the slowing down of the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources by the PIS party currently in power over the past eight years and the promotion of energy development based mainly on burning combustible fuels, mainly coal and lignite. As a result, three quarters of Poland's electricity generation and even more of its heat generation is still based on burning coal. As a result, when the price of fossil fuels rose sharply between 2021 and 2022, the cost of living for many citizens increased by several tens of percent. The solution to the problem of rising heating and energy costs was to install heat pumps powered by electricity from photovoltaic panels installed on the roof or next to the house, or other renewable energy sources. However, these other alternative renewable and emission-free energy sources are few and far between due to energy policy. In order to increase the energy savings of their homes, many citizens would like to insulate their homes by renovating and adding insulation to the facades of their buildings. It is estimated that over 4 million residential homes in Poland lack thermal insulation. However, this is unfortunately not possible due to the overly limited financial programmes of non-refundable subsidies with which such investment projects could be financed. Many citizens, despite the fact that they would like, for example, to power heat pumps with electricity from a wind turbine, a windmill erected close to their home, have not had this opportunity because in 2016 the PIS government blocked the development of wind energy in Poland by passing the so-called 10h Law. Similarly, in April 2022, a change in the regulation of billing for photovoltaic panels installed on the roof or next to a residential house by citizens prosumers of their own electricity made these installations unprofitable and the number of new installations of this kind fell by three quarters. When the development of wind power in Poland was blocked in 2016, coal imports increased strongly. In addition, nuclear power and other fully renewable energy sources were not developed. The result is a low level of independence and energy security for the country. Besides, the result is one of the lowest air quality and high levels of smog in cities during the heating season in international rankings. Unfortunately, despite the existence of new renewable energy technologies whose application on a larger scale could solve the above problems, the scale of development of governmental and self-governmental programmes of financial subsidies and support from the European Union is still too small. And it is too small because Poland has not met the so-called milestones set by the European Commission and is the only country in the EU which has not received financial subsidies under the National Reconstruction Programme. One of these milestones is the issue of unblocking the onshore wind energy development previously blocked in 2016. Currently, i.e. in Q1. 2023, a law is being processed to unblock this issue. However, the still ruling PIS party, as part of its support for the development of coal-fired power generation and its support for government-controlled, monopolistically operating energy and fuel companies of the state treasury, included in the aforementioned law provisions that in practice limit the development of onshore wind energy (a minimum distance of 700 m between a windmill and the nearest buildings) so that only a few per cent of the country's area can be covered by these windmills. This means that a small proportion of willing citizens will benefit from this, and it will benefit mainly and also to a limited extent the government-controlled, monopolistically operating energy state companies. Thus the circle of this travesty of energy, climate and environmental pseudo-politics is closing. In view of the above, technological solutions that could solve the above problems are already available, but the national pseudo-politics of energy, climate and environment causes that the development of renewable and emission-free sources of energy, improvement of energy security, reduction of the scale of the energy crisis, improvement of air quality in cities is still being slowed down, the goals of sustainable development are being ignored by the PIS government, and the green transformation of the economy, achieving zero-emission of the economy, building a sustainable economy in accordance with counteracting the progressive process of global warming is progressing much slower than it could be.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can the installation of heat pumps powered by renewable energy sources significantly reduce the scale of the increase in the cost of generating heat and energy or completely solve the energy crisis existing in countries where the energy industry is mainly based on coal and thus increase the level of independence and energy security?

Can socially run citizen-led independent local energy cooperatives running small renewable energy power plants in wind, solar, hydro, geothermal etc. significantly increase energy security?
Monopolistically operating large energy companies, including mainly government-controlled state-owned companies, apply pricing policies that are not conducive to the development of renewable energy sources in the form of small household power plants set up by citizens, who would thus become prosumers of electricity. This point is also confirmed by the pricing policy applied by these large energy companies, which are government-controlled SOEs in the context of the 2022 energy crisis. In addition, it has happened over the past few years that in areas where such power plants have been set up as part of solar or wind power, they have produced so much electricity in situations of high sunshine or strong winds that the technologically outdated and underinvested transmission power grids have not been able to absorb this electricity produced by prosumer citizens. This is a kind of paradoxical and almost surreal situation in a country facing a serious energy crisis in 2022 due to the still existing archaic energy model based 3/4 on the production of electricity and even more on thermal energy from burning coal and lignite. It is therefore necessary to develop independent, local cooperatives running small renewable energy power plants, i.e. independent of large energy companies, including government-controlled state-owned companies with monopolistic pricing policies, limiting the development of renewable energy sources by citizens and increasingly portraying themselves in the media in advertising and umbrella campaigns as green, generating energy mainly from renewable energy sources which is at variance with the facts, so is an example of greenwashing. In view of the above, the development of local cooperatives operating small renewable energy power plants can significantly reduce the scale of monopolistic participation of large energy companies in the entire energy sector and thus can significantly increase the energy security of citizens and the security of the national energy sector.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Can socially run independent local energy cooperatives by citizens running small renewable energy power plants in wind, solar, hydro, geothermal etc. significantly increase energy security?

How can artificial intelligence technology and Big Data Analytics help design and model the development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
How can artificial intelligence technology combined with Big Data Analytics help design and model the development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources as an important part of the mix of different energy sources in the context of increasing the efficiency and security of energy production?
The development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources is a key element in the green transformation of the economy. On the other hand, the development of renewable and carbon-free energy sources is also an important issue in the context of diversifying energy sources and increasing the scale of the country's energy independence and enhancing energy security. Increasing the share of renewable and emission-free energy sources in the energy source mix is not only the realization of the key objectives of the green transformation of the economy and the achievement of the goals of sustainable economic development, but also a significant reduction in the cost of energy production and energy prices for end users in the coming years. How the structure of different energy sources should be designed is a product of many different determinants. In terms of the aforementioned various determinants of the impact and design of the structure of energy sources, including fossil fuel-based energy and renewable and zero-carbon energy, among others, stand out. : the level of possession by the country of certain energy resources, the energy policy adopted in the country taking into account to a greater or lesser extent the issue of the green transformation of the economy and the implementation of sustainable development goals, the terrain and other natural conditions conducive to the development of wind, hydro and solar power, the scale of geothermal water resources in the earth's crust, the financial feasibility of building large nuclear power plants, the technologies in use for the construction of residential and other buildings, and the most appropriate to the prevailing prosumer building formulas of small power plants that generate energy to power individual buildings, the technologies in place to enable the development of hydrogen power and other technologically innovative types of energy. Since the design of the most appropriate energy mix for a country requires the consideration of many different determinants in the process of research, planning, design and implementation of investment processes, so it is a good solution to involve in this process generative artificial intelligence technology, which has been trained in the process of deep learning on large data sets and Big Data information on various aspects of energy, including different types of energy, different energy technologies, different energy sources, etc., and the above-mentioned determinants of energy development.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, was there an opportunity to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, and was this opportunity unfortunately not taken advantage of in some countries?
During the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the decline in the economic activity of companies and enterprises in many sectors of the economy, there were opportunities to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, to implement the principles of sustainable economic development, to direct the development of the economy towards the green circular economy model, to achieve the goals of sustainable development, to increase the scale of pro-environmental policies, pro-environmental, pro-climate policy and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the level of environmental pollution, and in the situation of continuation of these processes in the coming years, it is also to increase the scale of the possibility of implementing the scenario of slowing down the progressive process of global warming, to give humanity more time to prepare for the possible subsequent negative effects of progressive climate change, the developing climate crisis. Some countries have taken advantage of these opportunities, but unfortunately only in some countries.

what advanced compounds can be produced with sand?
Well, sand is a pretty versatile resource, and there are a number of compounds and materials that can be produced from it, depending on its composition and the manufacturing process.
For example, silica, which is a compound made from silicon and oxygen, can be extracted from sand and used in the production of a variety of materials, including glass, ceramics, and concrete.
In addition, certain types of sand can be used to produce silicon, which is a key component in the production of computer chips and other electronic devices.
There are also some more advanced compounds that can be produced from sand, including silicates and silicon carbide, which have a variety of industrial applications, including in the production of abrasives, refractories, and solar panels.
Overall, sand is a pretty useful and versatile resource, and it's likely that there are even more advanced compounds and materials that could be produced from it in the future as we continue to explore its potential uses.
i'd like to make two important points: #1 sand makes glass, which can be used to refract sunlight, which enables the capture of energy through heat generation. #2 sand can be used as a raw resource for environment breaks enabling wildlife to flourish in areas of extreme weather using massive Earth Domes
Absolutely! Those are both excellent points that highlight the versatile and important roles that sand can play in energy production and environmental protection.
First, sand can indeed be used to produce glass, which is a key component in many solar energy technologies, such as solar thermal collectors and solar panels. Glass can be shaped into lenses or mirrors that refract and concentrate sunlight, which can then be used to generate heat or electricity. This is a very efficient and sustainable way to harness the power of the sun, and sand is an essential resource in making it possible.
Second, sand can also be used in the construction of massive earth domes, which can help to protect against extreme weather and provide a habitat for wildlife in harsh environments. These domes can be designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, incorporating features such as greenhouses and aquaponics systems that can support plant and animal life.
By using sand as a building material, we can create sustainable and resilient structures that not only provide shelter and protection, but also promote biodiversity and ecological health.
with regard to capturing solar heat produced through glass magnification facilities, what source of capture and cooling is recommended give the current immature context?
Given the current limitations and constraints of existing solar energy technologies, one of the most effective sources of capture and cooling for solar heat produced through glass magnification facilities is likely to be thermal energy storage (TES) systems.
TES systems are essentially large-scale "batteries" that can store heat energy generated by solar power systems, such as those that use glass to concentrate sunlight. These systems can use a variety of different heat storage materials, such as molten salts, phase change materials, or molten metals, to store the heat energy until it is needed.
Once the heat energy is stored, it can be released slowly over time to generate electricity using a steam turbine or to provide direct heat for industrial processes. This approach can help to smooth out fluctuations in solar energy production and ensure that the energy generated can be used efficiently and effectively, even when the sun isn't shining.
Another option for capturing and cooling solar heat produced through glass magnification facilities is to use a heat exchanger to transfer the heat energy into a liquid coolant, such as water, which can then be circulated through a cooling system to release the heat into the atmosphere.
explain how this facility could (can) be used in conjunction with water purification en mass as proposed generally by ERES for Smart-City Assimilation
Certainly! The facility we've been discussing, which uses glass magnification to concentrate solar heat and generate energy, could potentially be integrated with a large-scale water purification system to provide clean drinking water for a smart city.
Here's how it could work:
- The solar heat generated by the facility would be used to produce electricity, which would be fed into the city's energy grid.
- Some of the electricity produced would be used to power a water purification plant, which would use advanced filtration and treatment technologies to remove contaminants and impurities from the water.
- The purified water would then be distributed through the city's water supply system, providing clean and safe drinking water for residents.
- Additionally, some of the heat generated by the solar facility could be used directly to sterilize the water, using a process called pasteurization, which can kill bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.
- Finally, the purified water could also be used to cool the solar facility, helping to dissipate excess heat and maintain optimal operating temperatures for the system.
By integrating water purification with solar energy production in this way, a smart city could create a more sustainable and resilient system that provides both clean energy and clean water for its residents, while minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency.
thank you. nice work. what other suggestions relating to use of sand would help oil dependent economies transition to the big "FLIP"?
You're welcome, I'm glad I could help! And that's a great question. Here are a few additional suggestions for how sand could be used to help oil-dependent economies transition away from their reliance on fossil fuels:
- Sand can be used in the production of concrete, which is a key material in the construction of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. By investing in infrastructure development using concrete made with sand, oil-dependent economies can create new jobs and stimulate economic growth, while also reducing their dependence on oil-based construction materials.
- Sand can also be used in the production of glass, which has a wide range of applications in the construction, automotive, and electronics industries. By investing in glass manufacturing using sand, oil-dependent economies can diversify their industrial base and create new economic opportunities, while also reducing their dependence on oil-based plastics and other materials.
- Sand can be used as a filtration medium for wastewater treatment, which is a growing area of importance as populations and industrial activity increase. By investing in sand-based wastewater treatment systems, oil-dependent economies can improve their environmental sustainability and reduce their reliance on oil-based treatment technologies.
- Finally, sand can also be used in the production of silicon, which is a key component in solar panels and other renewable energy technologies. By investing in silicon production using sand, oil-dependent economies can accelerate their transition to renewable energy and create new opportunities for growth and innovation in the clean tech sector.
By leveraging the versatility and abundance of sand, oil-dependent economies can take important steps towards a more sustainable and prosperous future, while also reducing their dependence on finite and polluting fossil fuels.

I am interested to see the impact of Renewable Energy Sources on the frequency regulation on a smart grid. Any recommended references and papers?
Thanks!
Hello. I am studying Masters in renewable Energy, UK. I am looking for Thesis topic for my dissertation keeping in mind its scope in future especially in Middle East. With mechanical Engineering background, I prefer to research in Blue hydrogen. Can anybody please recommend thesis topics associated with it?
Should the protection of the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems as a key factor in humanity's security be included in basic human rights?
In connection with Human Rights Day 2023 (10.12.2023), I propose to discuss the issue of protecting the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems as a key factor for humanity's security in the context of basic human rights as well. If mankind does not manage to smoothly carry out the green transformation of the economy during the current decade, including the green transformation of the energy sector, the amount of greenhouse gases that will enter the atmosphere will exceed the tipping point, so that the increasingly rapid process of global warming will become irreversible. The green transformation of the economy also includes, among other things. such green projects as afforestation of wasteland and post-industrially degraded areas, forest deforestation processes are reduced, agriculture carried out according to the robbery model of economy is being transformed towards sustainable pro-environmental pro-climate ecological agriculture of mainly vegetable crops, urban agglomerations are being developed according to the concept of green smart city, sustainable construction based on green energy-saving low- or zero-emission construction technologies is being developed, production processes are carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainable development and circular economy, consumerism reduction and sharing economy programs are developed, within the transport sector, transport based on electromobility and hydrogen power is developed, within the energy sector, renewable and emission-free energy sources are being developed, including new developments in solar power, wind power, geothermal power, in addition to eco-innovative solutions based on hydrogen power and, in transition periods, nuclear power and low-carbon power based on biogas plants, etc. If the process of global warming is not stopped then the future, including the existence on the planet of future generations of people is at risk. The key issue is to stop the increase in the average temperature level of the planet's atmosphere at max. 1.5 degrees C counting from the beginning of the first industrial, technological revolution. A number of scientific studies show that human efforts to date in carrying out the green transformation of the economy are still insufficient. The high level of relevance of this topic is also pointed out at the annual UN COP Climate Conferences. The 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) is being held in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) from November 30 to December 12, 2023. Studies of long-term climate change processes show that 2023 was the warmest year in 125,000 years. As a result, the question is increasingly topical: Why is humanity under-implementing the process of green transformation of the economy? Do people care too little about the future state of the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems? Is the future of future generations of people still not being taken seriously? Why are the pledges made by governments and corporations at the UN COP Climate Summits to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy still not being implemented on the right scale or only marginally implemented? Why, in the sphere of business and politics, does the question of the future of the planet and humanity continue to give way to current, short-sighted, selfish, subjective and cynically pursued business goals? In this regard, it becomes necessary to recognize the issue of protecting the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems as a key factor in the security of humanity, and should therefore be included in basic human rights.
I have taken up this issue as part of my research and presented the results from my research on this topic in the following article available on this Research Gate portal:
I invite scientific cooperation in the present problematic.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Hello, I am currently writing a paper that reqires me to simulate a renewable energy grid with machine learning. I'd be grateful if anyone with experience on this can give a few suggestion as to which software to use for this task. Thanks in advance.
Is there any open position that I can join in the renewable energy field, especially microalgae to biofuels?
Mainstreaming renewable energy is key in ensuring sustainable access to clean and affordable energy. An update report on Sustainable Development Goal 7 reveals that countries are advancing towards sustainable energy targets and sets out that over 660 million households lack electricity and forecasts that over 2 billion people will still rely on polluting fuels by 2030 (United Nations, 2023). As such, it is prudent for developing economies to refocus their growth aspirations and energy generation plans to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydropower. One would wonder if moving to renewable energy reduces the growth potential of developing countries, given the huge capital commitments in setting up and maintaining renewable energy plants. Similarly, one may ask, what is the association between fossil fuels usage and growth in developing countries?
Energy poverty is when a person could not heat his home or cool it.
CHE combined heat electricity is the solution for energy poverty; based on renewable energy resources; as combined heat & photovoltaic solar panels.
Will renewable energy sources somehow stop global warming and renewable energy is important in energy and environmental sustainability?
How effectively can electric vehicles be integrated into a broader renewable energy ecosystem, and what role can they play in supporting grid stability and renewable energy adoption?
Is there any simulation software for doing a thesis on power systems and renewable energy?
The nexus between energy and the environment is a critical concern in today's world, as the need for sustainable energy sources becomes increasingly evident due to the challenges posed by climate change and resource depletion. Keeping up with the latest developments and research in this field is essential for informed decision-making and policy formulation.
How should AI-assisted Big Data centers be developed so that they fit in with the Sustainable Development Goals?
How should Big Data centers aided by AI technology be developed so that they fit in with sustainability goals, so that they do not generate large amounts of electricity consumption and/or are powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
Generative artificial intelligence technology, which, with the help of deep learning applied to artificial neural networks, is taught specific skills, performing activities previously performed only by humans, is finding more and more new applications in various branches of the economy, in various types of business entities. Generative artificial intelligence technology helps in solving complex tasks that require processing large sets of data in a relatively short period of time, which is already far beyond human capabilities. Therefore, more and more new tools based on generative artificial intelligence technology are being created, which are engaged in solving specific tasks, in which a number of specific criteria are required to be met in order to create a precisely specified product, project, innovative solution, finding a solution to a complex problem, and so on. This type of complex problem solving includes the creation of new solutions for green technology and eco-innovation, which can be helpful in connection with the need to accelerate and increase the efficiency of carrying out the green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of the energy sector based on, among other things, the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources. However, paradoxically, generative artificial intelligence technology performing certain outsourced tasks i.e. based on large data sets collected in data centers, using Big Data Analytics technological solutions consumes large amounts of electricity. In a situation where these large amounts of electricity are generated by burning fossil fuels through dirty combustion energy, the aforementioned new technological solutions increasingly categorized as Industry 5.0 are unfortunately not described as green, pro-climate, pro-environment, pro-environment, pro-environment, sustainable, pursuing sustainable development goals, etc. Accordingly, Big Data centers assisted by artificial intelligence technology should be developed to fit in with sustainability goals, not to generate high electricity consumption and/or to be powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources. The aforementioned Big Data centers assisted by artificial intelligence technology should therefore be designed and built in such a way that power plants generating energy from renewable sources are also built next to them or above them if they are built underground, such as wind farms and/or photovoltaic panel installations or other power plants generating energy by other means but emission-free. In the future, these may also include a new generation of nuclear power plants generating energy from currently generated spent fuel waste from currently operating nuclear power plants operating on the basis of widespread traditional nuclear technologies. Besides, in the future, another solution for emission-free clean energy may be the use of a new generation of nuclear power based on cold fusion. In addition to the above, the technologies categorized as energy futures also include energy based on green hydrogen and new types of energy resources, which may be extracted from space. An effective combination of the above-mentioned technologies, i.e. green energy technologies and ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, may lead to the creation of AI-assisted Big Data green data centers.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How should AI-assisted Big Data centers be developed so that they fit in with the Sustainable Development Goals, so that they do not generate a lot of electricity consumption and/or are powered by renewable and carbon-free energy sources?
How should AI-assisted Big Data centers be developed so that they fit in with sustainability goals?

Is 12 years to switch the entire automotive sector to electromobility a long or short time, considering both the currently available green technologies and eco-innovations in electromobility, hydrogen-powered vehicles, zero-emission production of hydrogen and other e-fuels, development of zero-emission energy sources, high recycling rates of electric vehicles, etc.?
Is it possible to shift the whole of motorisation in Europe to electromobility by 2035, i.e. to implement the European Union's plan under which, after 2035, no new combustion-engine cars will be registered and put into service, and only zero-emission vehicles, i.e. electric and hydrogen vehicles, will be registered?
By 2035, will there be a significant drop in the price and increase in the uptake of e-fuels, i.e. synthetic fuels produced from water or hydrogen extracted from the air in a production process powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources?
The green transformation of the automotive industry is one of the key components of the green transformation of the economy, with the aim of building a sustainable, zero-emission, green closed loop economy as quickly and efficiently as possible. A key objective of the green economy transition is to slow down and possibly halt accelerating global warming and reduce the scale of the global climate catastrophe, which, according to long-term climate change models, could already occur by the end of this 21st century. The green transformation of motoring is primarily about the development of electromobility and hydrogen-powered vehicles through the application of available green technologies and eco-innovations in the development of electromobility, hydrogen-powered vehicles, zero-emission production of hydrogen and other e-fuels, the development of zero-emission energy sources, a high level of recycling of electric vehicles, and the activation of this process through the increase of government subsidy programmes within the framework of green finance, the introduction of tax credits to mobilise business for green investment projects, the introduction of new pro-climate and pro-environmental regulations, etc. In order to activate pro-environmental business processes and to activate operators to join the green transformation of the economy, specific calendars for the said green transformation processes of the economy are enacted, including the pro-climate and pro-environmental transformation of the car, rail, river, sea and air transport sectors. In many countries of the world, the rail transport sector is already 100 per cent or mostly converted to electromobility. Other segments of transport are mostly dominated by vehicles, ships, aircraft powered by internal combustion engines that burn high-emission fossil fuels. So there is still a lot of work to be done on the green transformation of the various transport sectors. In March 2023, the European Union Parliament adopted a plan to restrict the purchase of internal combustion cars after 2035 as an important motivating factor for the development of electromobility, i.e. the development of emission-free motoring. An evaluation of the development of electromobility in the European Union and an assessment of the feasibility of this plan is to be carried out in three years' time. The following exception was added to earlier drafts of this regulation: synthetic fuels produced from, for example, water or hydrogen extracted from the air on the basis of zero-emission production of these fuels, i.e. by using electricity generated from renewable and zero-emission energy sources in the hydrogen production process. Such solutions for the production of e-fuels and their use in powering motor vehicles will be permitted in the European Union after 2035. In the government-controlled meanstream media in the country where I operate, there has been the usual misinformation about the European Union's climate policy. Under the current plan, it will not be possible to register a car with an internal combustion engine powered by petroleum refining derivatives. Well, the possibility of buying and registering cars with combustion engines will not necessarily be prevented after 2035, because it will not be economically viable to buy a new car with such an engine after the restrictions have been introduced. According to current forecasts of electromobility development, it will not be economical to buy an internal combustion car after 2035, because after 2035 these types of vehicles will be the most expensive due to additional punitive charges that will be imposed by the state on car companies that still want to produce these types of internal combustion vehicles. There will be no restrictions or limitations for the purchase of vehicles powered by e-fuels, i.e. synthetic fuels whose combustion process will be emission-free. Technologies for the production of e-fuels based on water, hydrogen drawn from the atmosphere, the process of producing these e-fuels using electricity from large-scale renewable and emission-free energy sources already exist, but are expensive for the time being. But as there is still more than a decade to go until 2035, so there is enough time to adequately refine these technologies and make them widespread so that they become much cheaper. A rapid decline in the price of these new green e-fuel technologies over the next few years is possible. In the past, an analogous process has occurred for other green technologies. For example, the cost of photovoltaic technologies has fallen by almost 99 per cent in the three decades to 2019. In addition, the scale of restrictions on driving in certain public places, mainly in city centres for internal combustion vehicles, will increase in the coming years. Already, more and more cities are closing their city centres to combustion cars, starting with restrictions on this issue for cars powered by diesel and manufactured many years ago, as such cars are the most polluting and emit toxic chemicals, toxic especially to children.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the Honourable Community of scientists and researchers:
By 2035, will there be a significant decrease in the price and increase in the uptake of e-fuel technologies, i.e. synthetic fuels produced from water or hydrogen extracted from the air in a production process powered by renewable and emission-free energy sources?
Is it possible to switch the whole of European motorisation to electromobility by 2035, i.e. to realise the European Union's plan under which, after 2035, no new cars with combustion engines will be registered and put into service, and only zero-emission vehicles, i.e. electric and hydrogen vehicles, will be registered?
Is 12 years a long or short time to convert the whole of the automotive sector to electromobility, given both the green technologies and eco-innovations currently available in electromobility, hydrogen-powered vehicles, zero-emission production of hydrogen and other e-fuels, development of zero-emission energy sources, high recycling rates for electric vehicles, etc.?

On what does the significantly differentiated level of energy prices across countries currently depend?
What are the key determinants of the widely varying level of energy prices across countries?
It used to be that this variation in energy prices from country to country largely depended on, among other things, the content in the earth's crust of the various types of fossil energy resources. Today, in the era of the Fourth Technological Revolution, in developed and developing economies, the key factors determining the level of energy prices include, among others, the current and/or strategic energy policies under which specific types of energy are developed. In some countries it is still mainly supported systemically, i.e. financially by the state mainly the development of dirty combustion energy and in other countries the development of emission-free energy, green energy based on renewable and emission-free energy sources. Systemic state support consists of supporting specific types of energy sources through financial support from the state's public finance system. Due to the system of CO2 emission fees introduced in the European Union, in countries that continue to develop mainly dirty combustion energy, energy prices will rise rapidly in the coming years. In contrast, in countries where renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power, are being rapidly developed, it is when the sun shines and the wind blows that carbon-free energy has produced surplus energy and there have been negative prices. An example of a country where in recent years the government has continued to support the development of dirty combustion energy and block the development of renewable energy sources is the country where I operate. Currently, before the next parliamentary elections, the government has frozen the increase in energy prices through the created instrument of subsidies from the state finance system. However, in view of the fact that still more than 3/4 of electricity and even more thermal energy is produced from burning coal and lignite, it is likely that in the next few years the already one of the highest energy prices (in relation to the income level of citizens, compared to Europe) will continue to rise in Poland. As a result, energy market analysts forecast that Poland may see a large increase in energy prices in 2024. In Poland, per 1 kWh of electricity produced, there are 700-750 gr of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. By contrast, in Europe the average of this CO2 emission is 3 times lower. High energy prices in Poland are due not to the war in Ukraine as the government lies in the media controlled by it, but to the fact that the current PIS government for 8 years has been blocking and slowing down the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources through which eclectic energy can be produced more cheaply and emission-free. Carbon-free energy production does not involve incurring additional punitive fees established in the European Union as incentive instruments for the smooth implementation of the green transition in the energy sector.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
On what does the significantly different level of energy prices in different countries currently depend?
What are the key determinants of the significantly differentiated level of energy prices in different countries?

What are the environmental impacts of liquid fuels and what is the biggest source of renewable energy?
What are the characteristics of renewable energy and role of environmental manager in conservation of various resources and to preserve ecosystem?
What is the relationship between sustainability and the green transformation of the economy to build a sustainable, zero-carbon, green circular economy?
The essence of sustainability derives from the study of sustainable, human-interference-free, biodiverse natural ecosystems of specific natural environments, which contain a wealth of species of flora, fauna and micro-organisms linked by many different ecological relationships. The ideas of sustainability are applied in developing the characteristics of sustainability in various aspects of human activity, the development of civilisation, various aspects of the economy, etc. The importance of the role of sustainability and its application in the context of economic development is growing in direct proportion to the scale of the increase in the negative effects of the development of human civilisation, which include the increasing scale of environmental pollution, the increasing scale of deforestation, the increasing scale of betonosis i.e. These include the increasing scale of environmental pollution, growing scale of deforestation, increasing scale of betonosis, i.e. urbanised areas and shrinking green areas in cities, growing emissions of greenhouse gases, accelerating greenhouse effect, accelerating global warming, growing scale of soil depletion, forest fires, weather anomalies and climatic and natural disasters, decline of biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems, etc. The aim is to reverse these negative processes, which have a negative impact on the environment. In order to reverse these negative processes and save as much of the planet's threatened biosphere as possible, it is necessary to carry out a green transformation of the economy on a multifaceted scale. In this respect, a system of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been defined within the framework of cyclical UN conferences on this issue and the global problems of climate change, which should be implemented on as large a scale as possible in order to reduce the scale of action and negative effects of unsustainable, intensive, rapid economic development within the framework of a predatory brown economy based on high scale exploitation of natural resources, including non-renewable natural resources, energy production mainly based on dirty fossil fuel combustion energy, increasing scale of environmental pollution, increasing scale of greenhouse gas emissions, negligible scale of secondary raw material use and recycling, accelerating global warming, rapid degradation of the biosphere, decline of biodiversity, etc. One of the key aspects of achieving a green transformation of the economy is to build a zero-carbon economy based on sustainable, zero-carbon, green energy, i.e. the development of renewable and zero-carbon energy sources. This is essential and should be realised in 100% by the end of this decade of the 2030s at the latest if the main strategic goal of international environmental and climate policy is to be met, i.e. to halt the global average global atmospheric temp. increase of max. 1.5 degrees C since the beginning of the first industrial revolution. This goal was defined and established for implementation at the UN conference on this issue, i.e. during the so-called Paris Agreement of 2015. Of course, the green transformation of the economy is a much more multifaceted process, in which all sectors and branches of the economy, many fields of human activity, many aspects of the development of civilisation, the ongoing development of energy, industry, agriculture, technological progress, etc. should be involved in practice. The green transformation of the economy should take place within the framework of a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess to a sustainable, green, zero-emission growth and closed loop economy, in which the implementation of the goals of sustainable development and increasing the scale of sustainability at the level of development of civilisation in relation to the surrounding environment should be strategically important objectives.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
