The fishing sector is faced with emission problems arising from the extensive use of diesel engines as prime movers. Energy efficiency, environmental performance, and minimization operative costs through reduction fuel consumption are key research topics across whole maritime sector. Ship emissions can be determined at different levels complexity accuracy, i.e., by analyzing ship technical data...

This study verified the environmental effectiveness of potentially less aggressive routes for synthesis poly(propylene/ethylene oxide) glycol (PPG). The analysis was developed in two stages. Firstly, performance conventional PPG processing route compared to alternative variants—vegetal and CO2-based PPG—applying life cycle assessment technique measure primary energy demand, global warming poten...

Laboratories should be aware of the carbon footprint resulting from their activities and take steps to mitigate it as part of their societal responsibilities. Once committed to a mitigation programme, they should announce an environmental policy, secure the support of senior management, initiate documentation, institute a staff training programme, schedule environmental audits and appoint an en...
