The continuous rise in energy demand, the decrease in fossil fuel reserves, and the adverse environmental effects of these fuels have increased the interest in renewable resources all over the world. The use of biomass as an energy source has …

The diversity of manufacturing processes is staggering, and they contribute to various degrees of carbon emissions too, depending on the materials processed and the parameters of machine tools and equipment used. Most of the time, production …

Biogene Dieselkraftstoffe können einen schnellen und einfach darstellbaren Beitrag zur maritimen Dekarbonisierung leisten. Vineta, IAV und Wärtsilä untersuchten deren Potenziale hinsichtlich Wirkungsgrad und Emissionen auf einer im Dienst …

Biodiesel fuels can be a fast and simple contribution for maritime decarbonization. Vineta, IAV and Wärtsilä investigated their potentials on efficiency and emissions on a four-stroke medium-speed generator engine in service.

Similar to hydrogen, ammonia is a zero-carbon fuel that can be synthesized from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Due to its better feasibility for production, preservation, and distribution, ammonia has been considered sustainable …

This paper takes OECD member countries as the research object, and through the calculation of direct carbon emissions and indirect carbon emissions for each country, it discusses in depth the issue of carbon emissions transfer caused by …

We studied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (CO2-eq) along industrial value chains and represented their dependency links linearly as the first step in assessing the GHG reducing potential of the circular economy. The applied method extended the …

Decarbonization of the transport sector is an urgent need to combat the challenges of ever-increasing energy or fossil fuel demands, environmental emissions, and air pollution. Carbon pricing in transportation has emerged as an efficient …

Carbon based nano TiO2-ZnO composite adsorbents were developed and evaluated for simultaneous adsorption of ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Screening of composites with different ZnO and TiO2 loadings in terms of adsorption capacities …

This chapter introduces the scientific and geo-social context linked to anthropogenic emissions of CO2, and to the connected climate emergency. The theme is treated on the basis of data regarding CO2 emissions, its concentration in the atmosphere …

In this paper, we present a method, based on model predictive control (MPC), to reduce the impact of pollutant emissions in contexts where a port is located within a city. To this purpose, we first introduce a dynamic model of the interactions …

In modern vehicles, the braking system is the dominant source of particulate matter emissions. For that reason, many regions worldwide want to limit non-exhaust emissions of particles. In the EU, the future Euro 7 standard will set limits for the …

Promoting carbon emission's reduction through green industry development is a noteworthy topic and a crucial initiative for advancing low-carbon transformation. This paper uses the National Eco-Industrial Demonstration Parks as a quasi-natural …

This research assesses the impact of information communication technology (ICT) service exports on carbon (CO2) emissions and examines regulatory quality’s moderating role. The study sample comprises OECD countries’ data from 2001 to 2019.

Based on microlevel data from China’s exporting firms, this study examines the effects of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) in export destinations and its interaction with spatial heterogeneity on firms’ CO2 emission behavior. We find that the …

In modern vehicles, the braking system is the dominant source of particulate matter emissions. For that reason, many regions worldwide want to limit non-exhaust emissions of particles. In the EU, the future Euro 7 standard will set limits for the …

Mongolia’s population is concentrated in Ulaanbaatar, making the capital city a densely occupied urban area. Pollution, such as the contamination of soil, water, air quality, and solid waste, is caused by population concentration and overload of …

The highway causes an intensive emission of petroleum products into the roadside space and their active deposition by soils to ecologically dangerous concentrations. We considered two main ways of petroleum product transfer from the road: air …
