The pattern of development of the economies of Europe and the world in recent decades is a focus on sustainable development. In accordance with the declaration of the United Nations Conference of 1992, sustainable development is defined as "equitable meeting the needs of present and future...

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...

The sultanate of Oman is a high-income country with economy dominated by hydrocarbon production accounting for 47.2% of GDP in 2014. Of the total, crude oil production contributed 43.8% to GDP while natural gas output accounted for contributed 3.4% of economic output. The sustained economic...

This paper takes 30 provinces in China from 2004 to 2015 as research samples, using the Tapio decoupling models, differential GMM methods and peak forecasting models to analyze the effect of environmental regulation on carbon emissions, and subdividing the research sample from the regional and...

The need to decarbonize economic production processes is undeniable and has been considered by most countries worldwide. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies appear among the most promising routes to the decarbonization process. We propose an...

D0 bleaching wastewater from E. globulus Kraft pulping industry was treated by Fenton and photo-Fenton processes. The aim was to optimize the operational conditions for adsorbable organic halides (AOX) removal, namely oxidant concentration, [H2O2], catalyst concentration, [Fe2＋], and treatment...

Open burning of agricultural residues after harvesting season is usually practiced as a disposal means for highland farms. The practice has partially contributed to the haze problem in the northern region of Southeast Asia during February to April every year. This can drastically affect human...

Recently, we have introduced a new bioeconomic indicator in order to avoid the difficulties in evaluating the process and technologies for sustainability. In this paper, we wish to improve this new indicator for the analysis of sustainability. Indeed, the indicator has been based on the exergy...

The objective of this paper is to optimise the liquid product of pyrolysis from as much as 500 g of polypropylene (PP) plastic waste, using a fixed bed type reactor in a vacuum condition (-3 mm H2O), to minimise the oxygen entering the reactor. The vapour flows through the 4-tray distillation...
