Energy self-circulation systems, defined as energy systems incorporating the recycling utilization of waste biomass, have been proposed to reduce greenhouse gases emissions from livestock sector. In this study, a comprehensive review of the situation and challenges of biogas utilization in the livestock industry was provided. Moreover, two technological routes were proposed for a circular livestock system combined with Powerfuels production (CP-CLS), starting from biogas combustion for power generation and steam reforming to the sustainable development path of synthesizing, storing, and utilizing Powerfuels. The self-circulation capability and comprehensive benefits of the CP-CLS life cycle was discussed, along with future application scenarios and proposed standards for Powerfuels. To realize this potential, continuous research, development, and policy support are crucial. This study envisions the next generation of energy self-circulation systems, which expects to reduce the negative effect of livestock industry on climate change and promote sustainable development.

The volatile fatty acids (VFAs) produced through acidogenic fermentation of food waste can be applied as an external carbon source for denitrification in wastewater treatment. However, variations in the concentration and composition of VFAs significantly limit denitrification performance. In this study, a novel gas self-circulation strategy was investigated to enhance acetic acid production.

Today, agricultural irrigation consumes the largest amount of freshwater globally, while humans are threatened by water scarcity. To eliminate the trade-off between hunger and thirst, here, we show off-grid maritime agriculture based on a floating solar-driven agro-desalination wooden dome. In this dome, part of the visible light is transmitted for photosynthesis, and the remaining solar energy drives solar desalination, providing enough water (>4 mm day) for irrigation.

In this study, roasted spent HDS ash (sHDSc-A) was used for the first time to catalytically pyrolyze oily spent HDS catalysts (sHDSc) to improve the yield and quality of pyrolysis oil. The results showed that sHDSc-A promoted the decomposition of coke in oily sHDSc, resulting in the recovery of more oil and gas. Meanwhile, sHDSc-A significantly improved the quality of the pyrolysis oil.

Solar-to-fuel conversion followed by secondary utilization in fuel cells provides an appealing approach to alleviating global energy shortages but is largely restricted by the complex design of power systems and the development of functional catalysts. Herein, we presented a biohybrid photoelectrochemical cell (BPEC) to implement sustainable solar-to-fuel-to-electric power conversion in a single compartment, by ingeniously combining reliable photoelectrochemical HO generation with efficient bioelectrochemical HO consumption. Specifically, the BPEC is composed of a Mo-modified BiVO (Mo:BiVO) photoanode and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/pyrene-modified 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (bis-Pyr-ABTS)/carbon nanotubes with an encapsulated Co nanoparticle (Co/CNTs) biocathode.
