Carbon capture and utilization is recommendable within the chemical industry from an environmental perspective.
Abstract Life cycle interpretation is the fourth and last phase of life assessment (LCA). Being a “pivot” linking all other phases conclusions recommendations from an LCA study, it represents challenging task for practitioners, who miss harmonized guidelines that are sufficiently complete, detailed, practical to conduct its different steps effectively. Here, we aim bridge this gap. We review available literature describing phase, including standards, books, technical reports, relevant...
This study estimates the environmental impact of mining Bitcoin, most well-known blockchain-based cryptocurrency, and contributes to discussion on technology's supposedly large energy consumption carbon footprint. The lack a robust methodological framework accurate data key factors determining Bitcoin's have so far been main obstacles in such an assessment. applied well-established Life Cycle Assessment methodology in-depth analysis drivers past future impacts Bitcoin network. It was found...
The use of seaweed as a bioresource for plastic production is gaining momentum. However, the environmental impacts this novel bioplastic are still unknown. In research, we assess film at an experimental pilot scale using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). system boundaries chosen analysis include cultivation accounting its carbon uptake, alginate extraction, and different end-of-life pathways. recirculation co-products from extraction step into also assessed scenario modelling completed with...
Cement production needs to reduce its contribution climate change urgently. This industry is, however, difficult electrify and decarbonize is yet expected increase output accommodate the need of an increasing population. CCS and, more recently, CCU have been presented as promising solutions align with Paris Agreement objectives. Given lack application these technologies at scale in cement production, it remains dubious under which conditions they can deliver reductions. In this study, we...
Blockchain-based technologies have emerged as a mechanism for governing sustainability in agro-food supply chain, where voluntary standards been the main governance mechanisms over past decades. Despite growing body of research on blockchain-based technologies, relationship between these two chains remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims at addressing gap and explaining their interaction. We described assessed 16 cases against twelve sustainability-related assessment criteria....
Plastic pollution is an environmental emergency and finding sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics has become a pressing need. Seaweed-based bioplastic emerged as promising solution, it biodegradable made from renewable biomass, while seaweed cultivation itself provides various benefits. However, the feasibility of implementing brown seaweed-based supply chain in realistic setting remains unclear, previous research focused either on single processing steps or virtual chains...
Abstract Purpose Demand for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) is already high and increasing in the construction building sectors. The overall purpose of EPDs comparability product environmental performance, they are thus developed accordance with category rules (PCRs): requirements guidelines how to make one or more groups. Since several organisations publish PCRs, there a risk creating conflicting leading inconsistencies jeopardising objective comparability. Methods This study...
Achieving ambitious climate change targets, such as limiting global warming to 1.5°C, requires both political and social determination. Bottom-up pro-environmentalist behaviours can facilitate crossing tipping points (STPs), resulting in new norms with lower impact on warming. While the passing of  STPs has been described qualitatively, it remains poorly understood how benefits this phenomenon be quantified. Here, we introduce a stylised system dynamics model that...
