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).
The creation of modern technical solutions in any field of science and technology is accompanied by the complication of control systems. To check and debug them, a large number of tests and a long debugging process are required. Very often the control system is set up and tested with a real object, and a cost of these process is very high. The software "Environment for dynamic modeling of technical systems "SimInTech" is designed to create mathematical models of various technical systems.
The duration and quality of a person's life depends on his lifestyle by 50%, on heredity by 20%, on the state of the environment (ecology) by 20% and on the work of the national health system by 10%. Unhealthy diet, low physical activity, overweight, tobacco use and stress, lack of sleep increase the risks of diabetes, heart and vascular diseases, lead to impaired adaptive capabilities of the body and the occurrence of diseases such as diabetes, heart and vascular diseases. In Russia, more than 50 million people live with cardiovascular diseases and more than 5 million with diabetes mellitus. At the same time, even with timely medical care, people partially or completely do not follow the recommendations of doctors, which affects the effectiveness of prevention and treatment. Up to 80% of negative consequences can be prevented through regular preventive examinations and the use of preventive medicine approaches (according to WHO), and by changing lifestyle, reduce the incidence of diabetes by 3 times. BIOT is a service for continuous, remote health monitoring, early detection of disease development and lifestyle management. A person wears a bracelet, and the BIOT system monitors health risks (CVD, diabetes and other) and, if necessary, will warn the client and the doctor about the need for consultation. The visual graphics of the BIOT system and a personalized approach with the support of a medical specialist motivate a person to follow a healthy lifestyle. A person sees on a daily basis how his actions/inaction lead to an increase or decrease in health risks. And timely notification of the need for consultation allows you to prevent the development and appearance of diseases.
The main task of Russia on the mainland is to promote the development and strengthening of the international Antarctic Treaty system. It is possible to cooperate with the BRICS members: South Africa and India.
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.
With the explosion of media content, manual moderation and sentiment analysis are inefficient and error-prone. EmotionPlayer effectively automates media sentiment recognition and content classification.
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.
Lack of centralized information, complexity in accounting and tracking, lack of effective sales channels. The decision of the centralized database, accounting and tracking of resources, marketplace.
The "Moscow Investor" digital service addresses the issue of ineffective communication between businesses and government authorities, which has traditionally hindered investment and economic growth in Moscow. Implemented by the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy of Moscow City, the service offers a streamlined, automated process for handling inquiries, reducing bureaucratic barriers and providing prompt solutions to investment-related issues. Since its launch at the end of 2020, the service has resolved over 5000 issues, significantly improving the investment climate in Moscow and contributing to the city's economic growth.
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.
Shortage of personnel in the field of digitalization, lack of practical skills among specialists. The "Rational Production" software platform is used in many domestic industrial enterprises (automotive industry, construction, instrument making, food, and pharmaceutical industries, etc.). On the basis of the software platform there is an educational solution - Digital Training Factory, for mastering modern industrial technologies and acquiring practical skills to work with them, the software platform has created an opportunity to hold competitions of professional skills, showing the real practical skills of students to apply modern industrial technologies of digital industry.
