This paper investigates strategies to address climate change by promoting sustainable energy technologies and consumption practices. It examines renewable sources such as solar, wind, geothermal their potential reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study also explores optimization techniques, focusing on genetic algorithms (GAs) smart systems like grids microgrids, which enhance efficiency sustainability. research highlights the role of circular economy in fostering through recycling waste management. Furthermore, economic trade-offs between environmental harm, impact both fossil fuel energies. A dual methodological approach is employed: first, an endogenous growth model excluding factors, followed a modified version incorporating considerations. Using continuous algorithm data from 2000 2025, forecasts optimal trajectory for energy’s share global under two scenarios. findings suggest that could represent 82.4% total constraints, up current 45%. hindered challenges droughts, hydropower production. concludes achieving transition requires comprehensive policies integrating expansion, efficiency, protection. These provide important insights into optimizing pathways They serve foundation future policy recommendations, aiming ensure low emission balancing need with preservation environment.

This review tries to differ from the existing reviews on potential of chlor-alkali technology in regulating energy for environmental remediation through hydrogen-based storage. Currently, green energies are at a very high readiness level, but fitting demand and production is not solved issue. Direct application treatments inefficient, particularly electrokinetic because reversibility. Hydrogen-based storage shows promise, despite water management challenges electrolyzers, especially drought-prone regions like Mediterranean countries. suggests adapting industrial contexts as less water-demanding alternative. It also adaptability contrasting it with faced by fuel cells due chlorine's corrosive effects. concludes that sustainable solution proposed involves synergistic electrolysis PEM using oxygen instead chlorine, benefiting industry affected electricity price increases. Byproducts chlorine caustic soda can be repurposed or commercial purposes.
