Abstract:

This study estimates the carbon footprints of 16 municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), all situated in Scandinavian countries, by using a simple model. The carbon footprint calculations were based on operational data, literature emission factors (efs) and measurements of greenhouse gas emissions at some of the studied WWTPs. No carbon neutral WWTPs were found. The carbon footprints ranged between 7 and 108 kg CO2e P.E.−1 year−1. Generally, the major positive contributors to the carbon footprint were direct emissions of nitrous oxide from wastewater treatment. Whether heat pumps for ef

Globally, universities are evaluating and targeting to reduce their carbon emissions and operate on a sustainable basis. The overall aim of this study revolves in addressing the following three questions: (1) How to calculate carbon footprint, including indicators selection, criteria, and measurement, for higher education institutions? (2) How to evaluate impact and effectiveness of various mitigation strategies in context of a higher education institution? (3) What are the possible limitations of approach selected for carbon footprint calculation. This paper presents estimation of the carbon

Chongqing’s carbon balance based on carbon footprints is analyzed, which is defined CO2 emitted by human activities equal to CO2 absorbed by carbon sinks and carbon footprints elimination. On the basis of carbon balance calculation with indicators of measurement of CO2 emissions, conversion from CO2 to carbon footprint and rate of carbon neutral by CO2 sinks of forestation and greening, it is found that Chongqing’s carbon footprints grew from 5.0141 Mghas in 1997 to 10.2973 Mghas in 2009 with rate of about 6 per cent yearly, in which carbon footprints from fossil-fuels-combustion overwhelmingl

Abstract:

Global warming and climate change have become a burning issue due to the hike in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG). The rising GHG emissions over the past two centuries have caused significant changes in the global climate. Agriculture plays a prominant role in contributing to these emissions, yet its potential for reducing GHGs remains underutilized. Agriculture serves as both a source and a potential sink for GHGs, making it a critical area for intervention in climate change mitigation efforts. Current agricultural practices, however, face several limitations in addressing

Relatively low travel costs and abundant opportunities for research funding in Switzerland and other developed countries allow researchers large amounts of international travel and collaborations, leading to a substantial carbon footprint. Increasing willingness to tackle this issue, in combination with the desire of many academic institutions to become carbon-neutral, calls for an in-depth understanding of academic air travel. In this study, we quantified and analyzed the carbon footprint of air travel by researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) from 2014 to 2016,

Abstract:

Climate change presents a significant challenge to global agriculture, impacting food security, crop productivity, and natural resources. While agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it also holds the potential to act as a carbon sink through regenerative practices. Regenerative agriculture, characterized by sustainable soil management, biodiversity enhancement, and ecosystem restoration, has emerged as a viable solution to mitigate climate impacts. In the context of tea cultivation, which is particularly susceptible to climate variability due to its C3 photosynthetic pathw

Abstract:

Starting from historical environmental records of the Benicalap neighbourhood in Valencia, this paper presents an energy model contributing to the assessment of carbon-neutral city policies for several nature-based solution (NBS) pilots extended to the neighbourhood level and combined with building façade renovation proposals. Accurate monitoring of several NBS pilot strategies was studied to validate a computational-fluid-dynamic (CFD) microclimate flux (both storage heat flux and latent heat flux) model, allowing a joint understanding of humidity and heat dynamics for the pilots under study.

Abstract:

By making it possible to maintain terrestrial temperature at habitable levels, greenhouse gases (GHG) have reached levels of concentration never seen before. Although carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions from the decomposition of organic matter are considered neutral, sewage treatment by means of anaerobic process stands out for producing methane (CH4 ), an important GHG included in the carbon footprint concept. Thus, the proper management of gaseous emissions, whether through control and treatment, or through the use of biogas energy, consists of an important mechanism to mitigate, compensate or a

Whilst upcoming innovations on digital technology and renewable energy can have a significant impact on the reduction of operational carbon emissions in the construction industry, readily available fast-growing building materials like bamboo are already proving reductions in the embodied carbon of dwellings above 60% when compared to traditional brickwork in Colombia. This paper presents a like-by-like comparison of the environmental impact of a conventional clay brick house (CBH) and a bamboo house for social housing in Colombia, which was built using adapted vernacular technologies.

Abstract:

Water, energy, food, and ecosystem (WEFE) components constitute fundamental dimensions contributing to human well-being, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development. Despite the prevalent specialization among WEFE professionals, there is a lack of multidisciplinary approaches in their work, with limited attention given to carbon footprint management. Against this backdrop, this study aims to explore the potential role of standardization and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) in implementing the WEFE approach within the food sector.

The formation process of a building from the construction phase up to the use of building require much energy. It triggers the happening of global warming. Although the concept of building sustainability applies from now on, but the effect is considerably less, because it doesn’t concern the energy used that consumes on the construction phase. This scientific article is about the effort of reducing the carbon footprint through the concept of carbon neutral that allows the carbon consumption of building returns to zero point by the CO₂ emission reduction in electrical energy consumption.

Abstract:

Pharmaceutical residues are of environmental concern since they are found in several environmental compartments, including surface, ground and waste waters. However, the effect of pharmaceuticals on ecosystems is still under investigation. To date, the removal of these micropollutants by conventional treatment plants is generally ineffective, in addition to producing a considerable carbon footprint. In this sense, to achieve the current zero-pollution ambition, a reduction in the negative impacts of chemical substances such as pharmaceuticals on the environment must be aligned with initiatives

The escalating global demand for energy, propelled by rapid economic expansion and population growth, has intensified dependence on fossil fuels, resulting in heightened greenhouse gas emissions and accelerated resource depletion. This pressing scenario underscores the urgent need to transition from conventional energy systems to renewable energy alternatives. Hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a clean energy fuel to facilitate a shift towards a lower carbon economy. Unlike carbon-based synthetic fuels, H2 offers the potential for a carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative lifecycle when produced from
