Pathways to Zero‐Carbon Energy Systems in Remote Communities of Canada

open access: yesEnergy Storage, Volume 8, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Remote community energy systems in Canada are undergoing supply and load technology‐based interventions to support decarbonization efforts. As wind and solar electricity generators are the predominant energy sources, we evaluate zero‐carbon electrification pathways for remote microgrid applications over a long‐term planning horizon.

Sustainable Pretreatment of Food Waste for Enhanced Bioethanol Production and Improved Waste Management: A Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the conversion of food waste biomass into bioethanol through integrated pretreatment strategies. Physical (mechanical, thermal, sonication), chemical (alkali, acidic, oxidative/ROS), and biological (fungal, bacterial, enzymatic) pretreatments enhance biomass breakdown.

A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

open access: yesPolymer International, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 111-120, February 2026.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...

A Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) Model for Elevation‐Aware Vehicle Routing: Optimizing Fuel Consumption and Traffic Congestion

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study proposes an elevation‐aware QUBO model that optimizes multi‐vehicle routes by jointly reducing fuel consumption and traffic congestion. By integrating gradient‐corrected Dijkstra routing with quantum annealing, the method achieves substantial fuel‐saving effects in hilly regions such as San Francisco and significantly decreases route overlap,

Soil Screening by High School Students to Map Lead Contamination From Mining in Peru

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Soil contamination with toxicants such as lead (Pb) is notoriously patchy and requires considerable effort to map. In the present study of three mining‐impacted Peruvian towns, nearly 2,000 students collected and tested 1,500 soil samples using a field kit that combines simulated gastric extraction with visual detection of a purple Pb ...

Seeing Through the “FOG” of U.S. Feedstock Incentives for Transportation Fuels

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The demand for fats, oils, and greases (FOG) as biofuel feedstocks has increased in recent years. Further expansions will have uncertain, but potentially significant, effects on food prices, greenhouse gas emissions, and the U.S. farm economy. To address the market‐mediated effects of expanding FOG feedstock consumption, U.S.
