The need for integrated methodological framework sustainability assessment has been widely discussed and is urgent due to increasingly complex environmental system problems. These problems have impacts on ecosystems human well-being which represent a threat economic performance of countries corporations. Integrated crosses issues; spans spatial temporal scales; looks forward backward; incorporates multi-stakeholder inputs. This study aims develop an methodology by capitalizing the...
High rates of resource consumption and waste generation have put pressure on environmental systems one the solutions to this concerning behavior is a circular bioeconomy (CBE). However, for CBE succeed, new businesses business models are needed, which many drawbacks might be faced. Therefore, article aimed (i) identify drivers, opportunities, challenges, barriers in both from theoretical practical perspectives, (ii) present regional differences those aspects different continents. A...
Summary The food industry in Australia (agriculture and manufacturing) plays a fundamental role contributing to socioeconomic sectors nationally. However, alongside the benefits, also produces environmental burdens associated with production of food. Sectorally, agriculture is largest consumer water. Additionally, land degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, waste generation are considered main impacts caused by industry. research project aims evaluate eco‐efficiency...
Australia possesses the highest average solar radiation of any continent in world, but energy total contributes less than 1% to Australia’s primary consumption. This study intends assess whether photovoltaic (PV) is really a sustainable option for transition on project level. A life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) was conducted 1.2 MW flat-roof mounted PV array called UQ Solar, and results suggested Solar performed well environmental aspects, except emissions several criteria air...
During the last half-century, CO2 concentration in world’s atmosphere has increased from 310 p.p.m. to over 380 This is due widespread usage of fossil fuels as a main source energy. Modeling forecasts have shown that this trend will continue rise and reducing emissions challenging task for multi-stakeholders, including research institutions. The UN Climate Change Conference Glasgow (COP26) stressed stakeholders need work together achieve NetZero target. Technologies involving absorbents...
Summary Consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA) has emerged as a tool for estimating environmental impacts of changes in product systems that go beyond physical relationships accounted attributional LCA (ALCA). This study builds on recent efforts to use more complex economic models policy‐based CLCA. A partial market equilibrium (PME) model, called the U.S. Forest Products Module (USFPM), is combined with analyze an energy demand scenario which wood increases 400 million cubic meters...
Renewable energy planners in developing countries should be cautious using analytical tools formulated developed countries. Traditional consumption, economic and demography transitions, high-income inequality, informal economy are some characteristics of that may contradict the assumptions mainstream, widely used tools. In this study, we synthesise debate previous review studies on models for then extend scope by highlighting emerging methods system thinking, life cycle decision support...
