It is conventional wisdom that it is possible to reduce exposure to indoor air pollution, improve health outcomes, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in rural areas of developing countries through the adoption of improved cooking stoves. This is largely supported by observational field...

Globally as well as in China, cities have contributed to most of the economic output and have accordingly given rise to most CO2 emissions. In particular, given unprecedented urbanization, cities will play an even greater role in shaping energy demand and CO2 emissions. Therefore, cities are the...

Bangladesh's economy has been rising steadily during the last few decades. Bangladesh's GDP growth rate, IN particular, has been astounding during the last several years. The contribution made by Bangladesh's economy is diversifying on a daily basis. But first and foremost the primary issue is...

Rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa have experienced limited progress towards the sustainable development goal of universal access to clean cooking. Energy-efficient biomass cookstoves (EEBCs) are considered a potential bridge technology, but EEBC models vary widely, and there is a lack of...

In this work, we solve a real-world facility location problem by means of a mixed integer linear programming model. The problem is faced by an Italian multi-utility company operating in the sector of waste management. The company works in several Italian regions to collect and treat the urban...

Maros-Watampone road passes through a critical geometric conservation area where it is a barrier to the development improvement. Previous studies recommend that three proposed alternative constructions can be used: 1. Elevated Bridge, 2. Cut and Fill, 3. Tunnel system. The Government invited...

More than 600 local governments in the U.S. are developing climate action plans that lay out specific measures to reduce emissions from municipal operations, households and firms. To date, however, it is unclear whether these plans are being implemented or have any causal effects on emissions....

This paper treats about the problem of nitrogen oxides formation in the process of natural gas combustion. The analysis of the influence of selected combustion parameters on the concentration of NO, N2O and NO2 in the combustion products was done. From many factors determining NOx formation two...

Pastoral farming can result in adverse environmental effects such as nitrogen leaching and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the cost of mitigation and hence the socially appropriate level of tolerance for environmental effects is still unclear. Research to date within New Zealand has either...
