The development of sustainable combustion systems, alternative fuels, and renewable energy technologies is critical to addressing global environmental and energy challenges. Research in this area focuses on optimizing combustion processes to minimize emissions and improve energy efficiency. Alternative fuels, such as biofuels and hydrogen, offer a promising path toward reducing dependency on fossil fuels and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, into mechanical systems plays a key role in advancing green technologies. Current research efforts aim to design mechanical components that maximize the efficiency and sustainability of powertrains and industrial systems. This includes developing innovative solutions for harnessing renewable energy and integrating environmentally friendly fuels into modern energy systems. Future research will continue to explore advanced mechanical designs that contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
