Virtual residential houses in Atlanta, Georgia, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, were analyzed to determine energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission during the building use, maintenance, and demolition phases of their life cycle. An analysis of Census data on housing stocks provided estimates for the useful life of a house. Home Energy Saver, an internet tool for energy analysis sponsored by t...

Plastic pollution of the natural environment is ubiquitous, and around 40% all plastic waste produced globally used in single-use products only 9% recycled. From this waste, expandable polystyrene pose a major problem because its great volume low density. To abord issue, authors proposed circular economy model for EPS post-consumer 2019 through case study with help one local manufacturer. Altho...

Sustainability and resilience are major challenges for the building sector in order to meet energy efficiency low carbon emissions goals. Based on defined quantified targets of EU climate change policy, Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) among top-priority measures accomplishing target decarbonization buildings. Nevertheless, choice type RES is not a one-dimensional problem, optimal combination ma...

One of the key challenges in using fossil fuels is environmental impacts these energy sources, and to reduce destructive effects, use renewable sources (biofuels) necessary. important biofuels biodiesel, which can be produced from cottonseed. To properly manage chain dealing with biodiesel production cottonseed (from farm manufactory), hotspots must pinpointed. In present study, it was attempte...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) tools can be used for the environmental of municipal solid waste management (MSWM) systems. The present study aims to evaluate impact an MSWM system in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, under three different scenarios based on Strategy 2045 Riyadh. current scenario (S0) considers that (MSW) is landfilled, one (S1) energy (WtE) as main treatment while dry recyclables and organic ...

Microalgae are rapidly being employed in carbon fixation due to their benefits over other crops for energy needs, such as high photosynthetic efficiency, massive biomass production and rapid development. Spirulina maxima is a microalgae whose based on cultivation with favorable growing conditions. Within the Life Cycle Analysis, steps that fed into Impact 2002 system included assembly cultivati...

Abstract Purpose Derelict fishing gear (DFG) is one of the most abundant and harmful types marine litter that gets increasingly retrieved from ocean. However, for this novel waste stream recycling recovery pathways are not yet commonly established. To identify suitable management system, study assesses potential environmental impacts DFG treatment options in Europe. Methods This applies an attr...

The swine diet formulation in the United States of America (U.S.A.) is entering a new era decision making to promote low-carbon pork production systems. As part decision-making process, precision nutrition approaches customize and alternative feeding options that are economically viable environmentally sustainable given priority. Hence, objective this study identify an over standard corn–soybea...

Major objectives of this study were to produce low-emitting wood pellet biofuel from selected agro-forest tree species, i.e., Kikar (Acacia nilotica), Oak (Quercus semicarpifolia), and Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), grown in the southern part Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province Pakistan using indigenously developed technology (pelletizer machine). Primary raw material, such as sawdust was obtained...
