The impact of climate change and increasing demand for energy requires the development of more sustainable energy technologies. Hence, thermal energy storage (TES) methods can contribute to more appropriate thermal energy production-consumption through bridging the heat demand-supply gap. In addition, TES is capable of taking over all elements of the energy nexus including mechanical, electricity, fuel, and light modules by means of decreasing heat losses, waste recovery, and energy-saving approaches to improving the system's performance.
The UK Climate Change Agreements (CCA) aim to save energy and carbon emissions by way of energy efficiency targets in industrial sectors, while simultaneously reducing energy costs for participating organisations with large discounts on Climate Change Levies (CCL). This article is related to SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 13, Climate Action; and SDG 9, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; as it demonstrates the ways in which governments can not only improve energy efficiency but also benefit industrial sectors.
In the effort to combat climate change and reduce energy consumption, largescale energy efficiency improvements to residential and commercial properties are a key aspect of the UK Government's Clean Growth Strategy. This article discusses the history of The Green Deal and the legal implications for landlords and tenants of the private rented sector. The need for energy-efficient homes and commercial properties relates to SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy, which aims to ensure access to affordable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Affordable and clean energy for all will combat climate change by reducing energy consumption and emissions, thus relating this article to SDG 13, Climate Action.
An all-around solution addressing the water-energy-food nexus for remote rural areas.
The optimal control of a water reservoir system represents a challenging problem, due to uncertain hydrologic inputs and the need to adapt to changing environment and varying control objectives.
Of all the types of renewable energy, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) market has been more supported and developed in Canada due to the lower project cost and the existing NG pipeline infrastructure.

This chapter introduces key concepts of water desalination systems driven by sustainable energy sources, as we look to meet civilization's water needs through sustainable means - supporting SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) as well as SDG 7 (Clean and Affordable Energy)
This Article supports SDGs 3, 5, and 10 by examining the effects of housing interventions on the physical, psychosocial, and economic wellbeing of women experiencing IPV, calling for continued investment into research, policy, and practice to innovate the IPV-housing continuum and to address the needs of women experiencing IPV and homelessness across different social circumstances.
This chapter advances UN SDG goal 7 by describing methods of geoengineering which could slow down the rate of temperature change and limit the impacts of climate change.
A growing number of governments are pledging to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century.
