Integrating Copper Slag Into Thermally Active Building Foundations: A Pathway to Sustainable Underground Energy Storage Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) integrated with building foundations is an emerging pathway to decarbonize space conditioning by shifting low‐carbon heat across seasons. This review evaluates copper slag, a high‐density, thermally stable byproduct of smelting, as a dual‐function medium for thermally active foundations.

Solar Dish Collectors for Hydrogen Production: A Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Solar‐driven hydrogen production stands at the nexus of the global transition toward net‐zero energy systems. This review surveys the role of solar dish collectors (SDCs) as high‐flux concentrators that can directly or indirectly split water, positioning hydrogen as a long‐duration, carbon‐free energy carrier.
