Rising energy cost

Metal chalcohalides are promising candidates for next-generation technologies that include energy conversion, information storage, and quantum computing. Among them, antimony selenoiodide (SbSeI) has received rising interest for different optoelectronic devices, including photovoltaics, due to its bandgap energy, strong optical absorption, stability, and earth abundant, low-cost, and low toxicity constituents.

Air-quality monitoring is highly desired in modern life, where environmental problems have become more serious. Such a task requires continuous surveillance over large urban areas, which is costly both in infrastructure and sensor resources. Hence it gives rise to Vehicular Mobile Networks (VMNs), in which mobile vehicles play the role of sensor devices and constantly monitor the area.

Business owners generally agree on the severity of several operating cost areas. “Tele- phone Costs and Services” and “Electricity Costs (Rates)” are illustrative. “Cost of Supplies/ Inventories” is also an operating cost on which there is general agreement among owners across all sub-groups. Another operating cost on which there is substantial consensus, the “Cost of Energy, Except Electricity,” which ranks 8th in agreement. Note, these costs are common to all businesses. They all pay for telephones, energy, and supplies.

The problems created for small business owners by the current rise in energy costs are two-fold. First, energy costs have increased rapidly over the last two years and even more so in the last six months. Small business owners are not able to adjust the price of their goods and services quickly enough to match the steep energy cost increases without hurting their customer base. Second, owners are not able to change business practices fast enough to offset the increases.

There are two main reasons why the chemical process industry should be motivated to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emissions: rising concerns in companies, the public and scientifi c community about climate change or global warming, and the increasing fraction of energy in manufacturing costs. ‘ Climate change ’ [1] in this context, means a change of climate, which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods....
