Abstract: Solar car, a combination of a great number of relevant techniques with new energy sources, materials and structure, is both eco-friendly and energy-saving. Our research, whose chief goal is to bring solar cars into our daily life by the device of a prototype, will be concentrated on body structure, steering system and energy flows. A conclusion has been made that the solar car is very potential to be used as the sightseeing car and some optimizations have also been achieved.

According to United Nations data, half of the world’s population lives in cities and forecasts indicate that by the middle of the 21st century, this percentage will have increased to 65%. The increase in the urban population favors the creation of a network of interactions that entails a series of material and energy flows. These cause environmental impacts that affect the quality of life of citizens and the environment as a whole. According to data from the International Energy Agency, cities occupy 3% of the planet’s surface and are responsible for 67% of global energy consumption. The effects caused by this consumption, as well as its impact on the depletion of resources, make it necessary to carry out an exhaustive study of renewable energies and new energy saving systems. This Special Issue aims to present new advances and developments in renewable energy and energy saving systems that allow cities to evolve in a sustainable way.

Energy conservation or energy saving is one of the most important methods for reducing CO2 emissions, which is known to be associated with global warming. Although development of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind energy is necessary, we must first pay attention to the fact that enormous amounts of energy are consumed uselessly at present. Energy saving should therefore be one of the first problems to be tackled. It may not only bring reductions in CO2 emission, but also may lead to savings in expenditure on energy. This paper introduces some of the initiatives taking place in Japan aimed at energy conservation.

An electronic clock display system was designed by the paper with LCD display based on Renesas 78K0R serial MCU. The system completely took the energy-saving MCU production and LCD Panel as the core and was accomplished with C depending on specified integration platform. It can be applied in people’s daily life and manufacture, and will have the good application and promotion prospects.

The paper shows that a comprehensive intersectoral approach is needed to address the issues of systematic management of energy saving in agriculture and to justify rational measures of economic support for the state-initiated introduction of energy-saving technologies, machines, and projects. Such requirements are met by the energy-economic (bioenergy) assessment method. The energy-economic assessment consists in comparing the costs of cultivating plants or servicing animals in single units of measurement with the production results and is mainly of national strategic importance. On the basis of such assessment, economic guidelines and incentives for the introduction of new energy-effi cient technologies, machines and projects, including the use of renewable energy sources, can be developed. The author presents an approach to improving the methodology of energy-economic assessment of agricultural technologies and projects when using renewable energy sources in technological processes. It is proved that in order to ensure the reliability of the energy-economic assessment associated with permanent technological and organizational changes and the digitalization of technology and economy, it is necessary to continue research to improve the assessment methodology, as well as clarify and regularly update energy equivalents.

Environmental issues make the quest for better and cleaner energy sources a priority. Worldwide, researchers and companies are continuously working on this matter, taking one of two approaches: either finding new energy sources or improving the efficiency of existing ones. Hydrogen is a well-known energy carrier due to its high energy content, but a somewhat elusive one for being a gas with low molecular weight. This review examines the current electrolysis processes for obtaining hydrogen, with an emphasis on alkaline water electrolysis. This process is far from being new, but research shows that there is still plenty of room for improvement. The efficiency of an electrolyzer mainly relates to the overpotential and resistances in the cell. This work shows that the path to better electrolyzer efficiency is through the optimization of the cell components and operating conditions. Following a brief introduction to the thermodynamics and kinetics of water electrolysis, the most recent developments on several parameters (e.g., electrocatalysts, electrolyte composition, separator, interelectrode distance) are highlighted.
