The transformation from a fossil-based economy to sustainable and circular bioeconomy is urgently needed achieve the climate targets of Paris Agreement, reduce air pollution ensure long-term competitive economy. Due its carbonaceous aromatic basic components, lignin has potential for material valorization within bioeconomy. So far, produced in pulp paper industry mainly been used internally gen...

In Slovakia, 35% of buildings are older than 50 years but most newer buildings built before 1990 have greater energy consumption. Some other countries also have similar problems. The growing importance of energy saving in buildings can be, in the case of new and old residential buildings (RB), achieved by lowering thermal energy consumption most often by application of polystyrene insulation on...

To reduce the environmental burden of agriculture, suitable methods to comprehend and assess the impact on natural resources are needed. One of the methods considered is the life cycle assessment (LCA) method, which was used to assess the environmental impacts of 18 grassland farms in three different farming intensities — intensive, extensified, and organic — in the Allgäu region in southern Ge...

ABSTRAKBatubara merupakan salah satu sumber daya energi yang dapat diandalkan sekaligus memainkan peran penting dalam kebutuhan dunia. batubara diproyeksikan akan tetap memenuhi sekitar 23% dari dunia sampai tahun 2035. Dibalik banyaknya keunggulan adanya batu bara, ada juga dampak negatif dibalik industri pertambangan satunya emisi dikeluarkan oleh mesin digunakan pada saat proses produksi bar...

abstract in order to assess the environmental impact of agricultural activity, the long-term sustainability should be considered. in order to achieve solutions to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the production of rainfed sunflower, this assessment was conducted in the north east of iran. four production methods, i.e. conventional tillage (ct), tow reduced tillages (rt1and rt2)...

It is vital to detect volcanic plumes as soon as possible for volcanic hazard mitigation such as aviation safety and the life of residents. Himawari-8, the Japan Meteorological Agency’s (JMA’s) geostationary meteorological satellite, has high spatial resolution and sixteen observation bands including the 8.6 μm band to detect sulfur dioxide (SO2). Therefore, Ash RGB composite images (RED: brigh...

Recent studies have indicated the existence of an endogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2)‑generating system in the cardiovascular system. The present study aimed to discuss the function and regulatory mechanism of gaseous signal molecule SO2 in inhibiting apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) via the Hippo‑MST signaling pathway to improve myocardial fibrosis of diabetic rats. A total of 40 m...

In this study, the environmental impacts of rapeseed production were studied using SimaPro software. The initial data collected from 30 farmers in Alborz Province by face-to-face questionnaire method. selected functional unit (FU) was one Mton-1 production. Five indices evaluated, including potential abiotic depletion, acidification, eutrophication, global warming and ozone layer depletion. To ...

One measure to mitigate some of the nowadays environmental problems is generation products from renewable resources. In this context, study's objective evaluate impacts associated with use sugarcane and agave bagasse Mexico as a raw material for bioenergy, applying life cycle assessment approach. Four scenarios were compared determine optimal feedstock (sugarcane or agave) processing routes (co...

Accounting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from waste landfilling is summarized with the focus on processes and technical data for a number of different landfilling technologies: open dump (which was included as the worst-case-scenario), conventional landfills with flares and with energy recovery, and landfills receiving low-organic-carbon waste. The results showed that direct emissions of GH...
