Low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts were prepared by using acetic acid modified fly ash (ACFA) and TiO2 with the loading of Mn-Ce. The powder catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD and SEM. The effects of Mn-Ce molar ratio on the NO conversion of SCR catalyst were...

Keeping a sustainable environment is always a massive challenge for oil-exporting countries, and in that situation, industrialization and rapid growth of urbanization can add fuel to the fire. We investigate the effects of industrialization and urbanization on the CO2 emissions per capita in...

Due to the depletion of petroleum products and fatal emissions from the tailpipe of diesel engines it has become a need to seek for the alternative of petroleum products for long-term use. Currently, researchers and experts have come to the conclusion that biodiesel along with higher alcohols...

Railways transportation is still taken as an account of economic growth without considering the cost of environmental damages. Therefore, it is an urgent need at the national and global level to take into account the sustainability of environment by key sector. So this analysis has contributed...

As a potential means of offsetting diesel fuel usage and reducing the environmental impact of used tyres, this study investigates the NOx emissions of a modern commercial passenger vehicle run on a blend of diesel and tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO). The test vehicle was driven on a route...

Iran has become one of the most CO2 emitting countries during the last decades. The country ranks after Japan and Germany in terms of CO2 emissions. However, from an economic viewpoint, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Iran is lower than the summation of Berlin and Tokyo GDP. Moreover, a...

This paper attempts to investigate the impact of economic growth and CO2 emissions on energy consumption for a global panel of 58 countries using dynamic panel data model estimated by means of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) for the period 1990-2012. We also estimate this relationship...

The transportation sector is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in the United States. This study identifies scenarios for dramatically reducing future GHG emissions from the US transportation sector, specifically from light-duty vehicles (LDVs), by phasing in ammonia...

China's iron and steel industry has developed rapidly over the past two decades. The annual crude steel production is nearly half of the global production, and approximately 90% of the steel is produced via BF-BOF route that is energy-intensive. Based on the practice of integrated steelmaking...

In order to have sustainable development, it is necessary to manage energy use and greenhouse gases (GHG) emission in all production processes. The aim of this study was to compare wheat production in dryland and irrigated agroecosystems in terms of greenhouse gases (GHG) emission based on...
