Economic, environmental, and emergy analysis of China's green tea production

Qiang Xu et al.

Summary: This study compared the economic and environmental sustainability of China's local and exported tea through economic, life cycle, and emergy analysis, finding that although local tea is more profitable, its environmental impacts are significantly higher than exported tea, mainly due to lower yields. The research indicates that environmental impacts of the tea industry in China can be substantially reduced by improving fertilizer use efficiency, adopting new varieties, and using renewable energy.

Investigations of thermo-hydrodynamics, structural stability, and thermal energy storage for direct steam generation in parabolic trough solar collector: A comprehensive review

Ram Kumar Pal et al.

Summary: The direct steam generation (DSG) technology in parabolic trough collector (PTC) solar power plants is an advancement that offers higher thermal efficiency, lower overall cost, and good potential for scale-up. Although developed over the past two decades, challenges in commercialization include high-temperature component design and thermal instability due to two-phase flow. Improvements in cost-effective thermal energy storage (TES) systems are expected to enhance grid integration and dispatchability of DSG solar power plants in the future.
