Under the energy transition and net zero goals, the BRICS expansion from 5 to 10 countries is accelerating the reshaping of energy future. BRICS countries heavily rely on fossil fuel, which leading the depletion of fossil fuel and high emissions of CO2, face common challenges and opportunities-security, affordability, and sustainability. Utilizing underground space in lithosphere with large capacity energy and carbon storage, lower costs and more value, and greater flexibility can be obtained, which is one of the optimal solutions to solve the trilemma. This can be best achieved by combining Underground Gas storage (UGS), Underground carbon capture, Utilization, Storage (Ucc-US) and Underground Long-Duration Energy Storage by Differential Pressure Power Generation (ULEDS-DPPG)in lithosphere with renewables. Based on extensive basic research and field practices, the RIPED underground space utilization team from CNPC - ranked 5th on the Fortune Global 500 list in 2023 – has innovated a low-cost and more value Integrated energy storage solution for the Energy Trilemma. It has been successfully applied in multiple oil and gas fields, forming an annual production capacity of one million tons oil, 10 billions cubic meters gas, and 5 million kilowatt hours power generation. There are mainly three application scenarios with dual benefits: Scenario 1, UGS+EOR for Oil Reservoir:Replacing the traditional gas reservoir type Underground Gas Storage with a only natural gas profit model, injecting natural gas into the oil reservoir in summer Enhances Oil Recovery (EOR) and gas storage capacity, obtaining dual benefits of oil production and gas storage, and improving energy security and sustainability. Scenario 2, Ucc-US+DPPG in saline water layer:Replacing traditional CCUS based on surface carbon capture, utilizing the natural carbon dioxide absorbent function of underground saline water layers, industrial waste gas or air is directly injected into the saline water layers. Carbon dioxide is captured underground, and the nitrogen gas is compressed as energy storage by DPPG, saving 90% of carbon capture costs and obtaining additional power generation income, which can achieve the net zero goal at a lower cost. Reliable and sustainable long-duration energy storage can be achieved, especially with intermittent wind and solar power. Scenario 3, Natural Gas Production+ DPPG for gas reservoir: Replacing the traditional single profit model of natural gas production, while obtaining dual benefits from natural gas production and renewable energy electricity DPPG, has improved the affordability of natural gas. International well-known publishing group Elsevier confirmed the practices help to tackle of the Sustainable development goals (SDG7 affordable, reliable, sustainable and clean energy; SDG17 the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development).
Bone grafts and bone replacement materials refer to materials that are used to replace or stimulate the growth of bone tissue. They are often used in orthopedic procedures to repair or replace damaged or diseased bone tissue, for example in the case of bone fractures, spinal injuries or bone cancer. The project presents materials in the form of blocks and crumbs with a pore surface doped with molecules with antibacterial activity (a broad-spectrum antibiotic) with the possibility of their gradual release in vivo
According to the World Health Organisation's data, there are approximately 18 million deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases around the world (2021), where almost 11 million patients dead because of atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, which is a reason for the ischemic heart disease and a heart attack. We present nanoparticles with a remote magnetic control which can transport special medicine for decreasing lipid nucleus of a plaque as a new method for fast, mini-invasive and effective treatment of cardiovascular patients with atherosclerosis
The use of smart contracts in transactions between companies makes it possible to make the work of companies fast, transparent and secure. The work uses unified catalogs of goods and services, as well as structured contracts. This reduces the bureaucratic burden and saves a lot of money. The use of blockchain technology allows you to collect high-quality data and use it to make accurate analytics and forecasting in the market. This service is necessary for both commercial companies and businesses.
When driving trains, the drivers control the freedom of the track ahead from foreign objects and people relying solely on their visual perception and the signal aspects. According to experimental data, the range of obstacle detection by a train driver is between 300 and 400 m during the day and between 100 and 200 m at night. Weather conditions, such as fog, rain, sun glare, etc., make it much more difficult to detect objects, reducing the level of train traffic safety. The train driver assistance system warns on the presence of obstacles ahead of the train detected at a distance of up to 1200 m and displays the aspects of trackside signals at distances of up to 400 m.
25-30% of energy consumed in real estate is wasted, costing businesses. ECOMANAGEMENT is an IoT platform that uses machine learning technologies to optimally manage your buildings, dynamically adapting to external disturbances.
Personal safety in public areas in the light of the growing number of acts of aggression and terrorism is also important. The problem can be solved by equipping crowded or hazardous locations with a Modular Video Analytics System (MSVA) with artificial intelligence that enables automatic monitoring of the sanitary conditions in transportation infrastructure facilities and public spaces, improved safety and convenience of people.
Emergency Response System for Road Accidents ERA-GLONASS system is an effective way to increase the safety of millions of transport users and reduce mortality in the road traffic accidents. ERA-GLONASS system provides collection and prompt transmission of information on traffic accidents and other road incidents to emergency response services; it is a unified secure and trusted environment for collecting, processing and transmitting information. In the case of accident, the emergency call device switches to active mode and initiates an emergency call to ERA-GLONASS system, transmitting information about the vehicle’s location based on GNSS such as GLONASS, GPS, Beidou and others. The emergency call can be triggered automatic in case of a serious accident (when rollover sensor or airbags are activated) or can be triggered manually if the driver presses the SOS button. ERA-GLONASS filtering contact center receives standardized information on the location of the vehicle and it’s VIN number. The call is analyzed and if emergency assistance is required, full information about the accident is promptly transmitted to the emergency response services (System-112) including vehicle model and make, license plate number, color, vehicle location and heading. ERA-GLONASS yields maximum efficiency in observing the critical “golden hour” rule in emergency medicine: the aid rendered within the first hour after an accident exponentially increases the likelihood of saving accident victims’ lives and minimizing the development of serious injury complications. The use of the filtering contact center allows not to overload emergency response services with false calls and provides information transmission about the accident to emergency services in 19 seconds. It's faster than pulling out a phone in a stressful situation, dialing a number and waiting for an emergency operator to respond and then describe the incident, the place where it happened and with whom. The system is based on a centralized principle, its infrastructure is deployed in the form of regional switch nodes in all the regions of the Russian Federation. The mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) network based on the four largest Russian mobile operators’ networks provides the best network coverage in the country. For the 9 years of operation more than 11 million vehicles are registered in ERA-GLONASS system, information about road accidents was transmitted to emergency response services more than 386,000 times. For the entire period of ERA-GLONASS system operation in the Russian Federation, the number of victims per one accident has decreased by 14%.

During major events, unforeseen situations often arise that require a rapid response. However, the lack of an operational incident management system can make it difficult to deal with problems effectively. One of the key problems faced by the organisers was the lack of effective interaction between the various structures involved in the preparation and execution of events. To address this problem, an incident management system was put in place to ensure: - control and monitoring of all facilities and participants of the Games; - prompt receipt and processing of incident information from various sources (volunteers, the 112 System, the Ministry of Health and so on); - integration with external information resources to display analytical data in managers' personal offices; - scalability of the system for other tasks and activities; - effective interaction between various structures (organisational commissions, law enforcement agencies, regional and municipal authorities), which allowed for prompt resolution of incidents. Thanks to this system, it was possible to ensure the safety of participants, prevent inconvenience and negative media coverage related to possible incidents during the event.
