Application of Copernicus data in climate risk assessment
Copernicus is the European Union’s Earth Observation Programme which allows scenario analysis – a valuable tool to perform necessary risk assessments for sustainability reporting, taking into account requirements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the EU Taxonomy. The article points out essential and common questionable issues encountered when conducting scenario analysis. The data concerning mainly climate-related risks and opportunities which can be obtained from Copernicus and the way they are processed are described. The article also highlights data reliability, processing and format.

Analysis of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards related to Pollution (ESRS E2), Water and Marine Resources (ESRS E3) and Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ESRS E4)
Companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are obliged to prepare reports according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) which include issues related to climate change (ESRS E1), pollution (ESRS E2), water and marine resources (ESRS E3), biodiversity and ecosystems (ESRS E4) and resource use and circular economy (ESRS E5). The environmental topical standards (ESRS E1-E5) are divided into 32 Disclosure Requirements (DR) for companies to report on environmental aspects. The article presents the most essential information on ESRS E2, ESRS E3 and ESRS E4.

Nuclear power industry is a necessity! Overview of available technologies
Presented are here, in view of the need to develop nuclear technologies, all their possible solutions i.e. the highly efficient ones in which realized are two cycles in a hierarchical system: high temperature gas-gas technologies with two coupled Joule cycles and gas-steam technologies with the high-temperature Joule cycle coupled with the low-temperature Clausius–Rankine cycle. In these technologies there are used high-temperature HTGR reactors cooled with helium. Moreover, there is described the currently used low-efficient single-circuit technology with water reactors PWR and BWR in which only the low-temeperature Clausius–Rankine cycle is realized. Discussed are also power and heat and power plants with SMR reactors where these reactors are practically the PWR or BWR ones with significantly reduced geometrical dimensions.

Photovoltaics and hydrogen-powered aircraft engine
Presented is a proposal to feed a hydrogen-powered aircraft engine with photovoltaics. Indicated is a possible solution to replace storage of the ready-to-use hydrogen by its generation on board of a plane e.g. Boeing 737. Given is a characteristics of a modern turbofan jet engine.

Electrical engineering at the Galician Land Exhibition in Lviv in 1894
The article presents electrical engineering topics related to the Lviv Galician Land Exhibition of 1894, one of the largest exhibitions organised during the partition period. The electrical inventions exhibited there are presented, as well as the electrical solutions that became the attraction of the exhibition, such as the abundant electric lighting, the light fountain or electric trams.
