The integration of renewable energy systems (RES) into microgrids faces challenges from technical, economic, and socio-environmental perspectives. Despite their potential to address access climate change challenges, RES-based face significant barriers, including technical complexities, economic constraints, socio-cultural resistance, regulatory inadequacies, environmental concerns. Some the issues, like intermittency lack compatibility with other sources, are managed by management (EMS) integrated battery systems. These barriers include high capital investment unpredictable revenue which addressable through chosen microgrid architecture, flexible payment structures, tariffs. Community opposition local knowledge overcome employing mitigation measures that pertain partaking in planning processes developing training programs. gaps addressed use standardized policy as well streamlined permitting procedures, while issues application life cycle assessment (LCA)-based solutions environmentally sustainable materials. Furthermore, paper addresses more recent developments, artificial intelligence (AI), peer-to-peer (P2P) trading, an emphasis on improvement prospects. Finally, implications presented, stressing need for systemic observed tendencies. This systematically reviews multifaceted integrating RES microgrids. It presents innovative solutions, AI-driven management, modular designs, frameworks enhance efficiency, reliability, sustainability a scalable transition. review provides diverse view future growth several insights stakeholders related development technology making transition sustainable.

The petroleum industry has been a key driver in the development of world economy yet continues to attract increasing criticism due its negative environmental impact via greenhouse gas emissions, resource inefficiency, and waste. Integrating lean green practices is fast becoming transformative approach tackling these issues as it integrates process optimization with sustainability principles. This review paper examined existing literature on integration, highlighting benefits, models, critical success factors, roadmap for implementation. Also, identified challenges offered strategic solutions. findings showed that integrating offers potential both waste carbon footprint reduction, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). can be achieved by using appropriate tools models. Sustainable value stream mapping (Sus-VSM) tool highlights importance metrics. These metrics address implementation convectional (VSM). one few initiatives promote lean–green integration within industry.
