Stakeholder Governance of the Energy‐Biodiversity Nexus in the Renewable Energy Sector: Pathways to Achieve SDGs in the MENA Region

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review examines stakeholder roles in managing biodiversity within renewable‐energy projects across the MENA region, a highly climate‐vulnerable region yet pursuing rapid energy transition toward achieving SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). The focus is on regulatory bodies and sector companies as primary actors.

Drinking seawater: Investigations into desalination

Procedia Manufacturing, 2019
Abstract Water is essential to living organisms, yet only 0.02% of this natural resource is accessible as a direct source of fresh- and drinking water. South Africa, being a coastal country, is an ideal candidate for the use of treated sea water as an alternative source of fresh water.

Acid Resistant and Highly Silver Selective Membranes Based on Charged Nanoporous 2D‐Materials

Small, EarlyView.
In this work, new membranes based on charged & nanoporous nanosheets with unprecedented selectivity to silver versus a wide range of other metallic ions are reported. Furthermore, a demonstrated and lead specific intralamellar lead pathway is demonstrated. A potential applicability for ubiquitous silver in WEEE is validated.

Bio‐Inspired Mesoporous Solar Evaporator Enabled by Upcycled PET

Small, EarlyView.
Upcycled PET waste is converted into graphite‐containing porous foam for compound‐eye‐inspired solar evaporation. The resulting three‐dimensional evaporator combines a moldable porous framework with a hemispherical multi‐surface architecture, enabling angle‐insensitive solar exposure, capillary water transport, and efficient freshwater production under
