Land degradation is one of the most important factors responsible for alarming situation food security, human health, and socioeconomic development in country. Currently, 120.7 M ha land country affected by degradation, out which 85.7 soil erosion caused water wind. Moreover, physical, chemical, biological are major forms Deforestation or tree cover loss (2.07 ha) from 2001 to 2021, intensive rainfall (>7.5 mm −1 ), uncontrolled grazing (5.65 ha), indiscriminate use fertilizers (32 MT...
The current study evaluates a decentralized biorefinery's economic and environmental performance, which uses two-step pyrolysis for converting rice wheat straw to bio-oil biochar. biorefinery was located in Punjab (India), where open burning of residue is prevalent. evaluated regarding the energy required pyrolysis, product yield applications, global warming potential (GWP). Pyrolysis unwashed, water-washed, acid-washed straws performed. net GWP unwashed −121 kg CO2eq/ton when biochar used...
Abstract Addressing climate change is a global priority. Life-cycle assessment (LCA) quantifies the carbon footprint of products and can provide strategies for mitigation. This novel study analyzed energy consumption softwood sawmills used attributional LCA to estimate cradle-to-gate environmental impacts lumber manufactured in California. Using representative sample size, 16 California (capturing ∼88% production) were surveyed. Sawmills’ was characterized evaluated by fuel type on-site...
According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), construction and operation of buildings accounted for nearly 38% total global energy-related CO₂ emissions in 2019. The sector has been striving use more low-carbon footprint building products mitigate climate change enhance environmentally preferable purchasing. Over last several decades, there substantial growth engineered wood industry. To assess these used their environmental profile, lifecycle assessments (LCAs) are...
Raw materials for buildings and construction account more than 35% of global primary energy use nearly 40% energy-related CO2 emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasized the drastic reduction in GHG emissions thus, wood products with very low or negative carbon footprint can play an important role. In this study, a cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) approach was followed to quantify environmental impacts laminated strand lumber (LSL). inventory data...
The phytoremediation potential of an aquatic macrophyte, Spirodela polyrhiza for cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) removal was studied. Effect different concentrations (1–10 mg/L) Cd Ni on multiplication rate photosynthetic pigments were determined to evaluate the tolerance plants toxicity Ni. Presence EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) exerted a remarkable inhibition uptake both by plants. Phosphate in medium found favour growth However, plant decreased significantly addition phosphate....
ABSTRACT Unlike make–use–dispose practice in the linear economy, circular economy aims to achieve make–use–recycle–reuse realize higher environmental gains with minimum costs. In present study, cultivation of Agaricus bisporus was attempted, and 20.4 kg fresh mushroom yield harvested per 100 compost. The leftover spent substrate (SMS) after harvesting mushrooms further re‐composted convert it into compost (SMC). French beans were raised a field trial SMC prepared by different methods,...
