Nowadays, the conceptualization of circular economy is an attractive managerial tool among governments and businesses throughout word, while ecosystem services are a contentious issue due to particular needs humans’ well-being. At this review interactions between principles were investigated in light inter-organizational systems. This evaluation was based on more complex processes, integration growing concept within shrinking parent unveiled challenges constraints for products’ end life...

The role of hydrogen as a clean energy source is promising but also contentious issue. global production currently characterized by an unprecedented shift to renewable sources (RES) and their technologies. However, the local environmental benefits such RES-based technologies show wide variety technological maturity, with common mismatch RES stocks actual utilization levels exploitation. In this literature review, collected documents taken from Scopus database using relevant keywords have...

There has been intense debate over the depletion of fossil fuel reserves in recent decades as well greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change. At same time, new legislation Greece, national policies, European and realistic needs, need effective waste management protection resources. As a result, it seems necessity to exploit treatments, while expanding use renewable energy sources. In this study, an attempt is made focus our interest research on specific biomass stream, namely...

The evaluation and selection among the best production practices beyond conventional linear models is, nowadays, concerned with those holistic approaches drawn toward environmental assessment in industry. Therefore, researchers need to develop an analysis that can evaluate performance of industrial organization light their viewpoint. This study implemented a pilot co-integrated scheme based on innovative in-house Holistic Assessment Performance Index for Environment (HAPI-E) industry tool...

This paper is a preliminary report of an indoor pollution case study in complex apartments as part Indoor Pollution Management Plan (IPMP). It describes the calculation by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and presents predicted air flow, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) formaldehyde contaminant distributions apartment comprised full-scale kitchen with open access to living room, ventilated exhaust hood. The CFD Code PHOENICS®, which based on solving full 3-D Navier Stokes...

Waste management has become a great social concern for modern societies. Landfill emissions have been identified among the major contributors of global warming and climate changes with significant impact in national economies. The energy industry constitutes an additional greenhouse gas emitter, while at same time it is characterized by costs uncertain fuel prices. above implications triggered different policies measures worldwide to address municipal solid wastes on one hand impacts from...

This paper suggests a proposed methodological framework that can be followed by companies in order to implement an effective CSR programme all areas of their operation, consisting three distinct stages: Analysis, Execution and Performance Evaluation.The suggested permits the development corporate programmes adapted unique characteristics each sector company, emphasizing different stages according organisational activities, missions resources utilised.The includes weighted performance...

Natural gas as fuel for electricity production has significant advantages, such the reduction of environmental emissions and lower operational cost. Due to flexibility engines, exploitation renewable energy sources in an area, can be maximized. The main objective present study is investigate possibility LNG supply sustainable insular small-scale systems. A novel multicriteria evaluation model been developed, based on methods Additive Value Model, PROMETHEE Simos approach. set coherent...

While economy and ecology ought to share the same values targets, as their common 'eco' prefi x indicates, reality tends be somehow different.Economic growth environmental protection seem noncompatible, both in methods results.In many cases, for example, investments trigger actions that operate competitively wealth of environment, while strict application directives often results halting development.Moreover, tendency towards constant economic is a desirable inherent characteristic human...

In the last decade, shipping decarbonization has accelerated rapidly in response to regulatory framework. Shifting toward alternative marine fuel options is subject of extensive study from stakeholders and researchers. This attempts propose a decision support model for evaluation. The decision-making process multidimensional, comprising economic, technical, environmental, social aspects, been carried out with aid outranking multicriteria methodology, Promethee II. approach based on...

The terms of growth and environment are historically proven not to be compatible in principles, methods targets.Economic investments usually accompanied by actions that could easily characterized as environmentally friendly, while the strict application environmental directives often results halting development.Moreover, tendency constant economic is a desirable inherent characteristic human nature, which apparently changed near future.In this context, pressing need for bundle approaches tie...
