Arévalo, Benavides & Ochoa-Correa, Towards Future Smart Power Systems with High Penetration of Renewables: Emerging Technologies, New Tools, and Case Studies, 2025, Pages 213-237
This chapter aligns with SDGs 7, 11, and 10, by offering a case study on renewable energy and rural electrification in Ecuador, in the context of socioeconomic challenges and climate change, whilst also drawing on other examples from developing countries elsewhere.
The article highlights the potential of AI to support SDGs related to responsible consumption and production (Goal 12), and climate action (Goal 13).
This article presents a heat-pump-coupled sorbent system to simultaneously harvest water from air and regulate indoor environments, addressing global challenges related to water scarcity and energy-efficient air conditioning.
The article provides an overview of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based composite adsorbents for atmospheric water harvesting, discussing the hydrolytic stability of MOFs, recent advances in sorption-based water harvesting devices, and the challenges and prospects of MOF-based composite adsorbents. Key points include compositing MOFs with other functional materials to address limitations in water adsorption capacity and energy-intensive regeneration, and the factors affecting the hydrolytic stability of MOFs.
This chapter aligns with UN SDG Goals 6 and 14 by addressing how anthropogenic impacts to water quality affect marine fish populations and discussing future perspectives for managing water quality and aquatic habitats.

Advanced Technologies in Wastewater Treatment: Waste Water Treatment of Leather Industry, 2025, Pages 63-92
This chapter aligns with UN SDG Goals 6, 9 and 12 by promoting clean water, reducing pollution, and supporting sustainable water management practices.
Emerging pollutants (EPs), such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (particularly antibiotics) and microplastics, pose significant threats to global water quality and human health, leading to increased interest in the use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for their purification. This paper reviews the literature from 2014 to 2024 on CWs' effectiveness in removing various EPs.
This study projects the energy cneeds and carbon footprints of energy centres in Germany by 2030 and maps the pathway towards zero emissions.
This review examines the use of cover plants for remediating various contaminants, including metals, organic pollutants, nitrates, antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance genes, plastics, and salts.
Daytime radiative cooling and photovoltaic energy generation are poorly compatible, as they have competing physical demands. Here, a transmission-based radiative cooling system is integrated with solar cells, allowing simultaneous cooling and photovoltaic power generation in sunny weather.
