Green H 2 production reduces emissions by 80–95% compared to grey thus meeting the REDII directive. However, blue and turquoise fall short of this criterion without CO sequestration.
Alkali-activated binders have been considered a low carbon alternative to cement and are produced by reacting aluminosilicate precursor with an alkali-activator. However, alkali-activators observed be major contributor the environmental burdens of alkali-activated materials regarding various impact categories. Therefore, this study aims perform assessment using life cycle methodology on mortars from chemically modified one- two-part waste-derived activators (waste glass rice husk ash) in...
Landfill disposal has thus far been the predominant treatment method for municipal solid waste (MSW) throughout Brazil, including São Paulo city. Environmentally sustainable development of MSW management in necessitates a stepwise reduction landfilling. However, ever increasing generation poses challenge managing volumes while simultaneously modernizing system. In this study, environmental impacts current system and future alternatives city were assessed by means life cycle assessment (LCA)...
Alkali-activated concretes have been receiving increasingly attention as they are identified to be key components towards achieving sustainable construction in future. A detailed comparative environmental assessment study of different mix-designs fibre reinforced alkali-activated (FRAAC), conventional concrete (CC) and steel (SFRCC), was conducted using Life cycle (LCA) methodology. LCA determine the performance FRAACs when compared CC SFRCC, also identify most important contributing factors...
Traditional concrete production is a major contributor to global warming. Industrially produced geopolymer viable substitute limit the negative impacts of production. Thus, this study developed novel mix designs using industrial side streams, such as bark boiler ash, construction and demolition waste (CDW), fibre waste, mine tailings. A cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology was conducted evaluate potential these different (GPC) in comparison with traditional concrete. The...
Due to the global trend of urbanization, amount sewage water is increasing in cities. This calls for efficient treatment resulting sludge. To date, 27 European Union member countries (EU-27), prevailing method application on arable land. Anaerobic digestion one methods being increasingly used nowadays. However, digestate requires further utilization. Therefore, this study, environmental performance composting, combustion, and pyrolysis options dewatered sludge evaluated based a life cycle...
This article investigates the potential environmental impacts of four-layer printed circuit board (PCB) production from cradle to grave. The study starts with a lifecycle assessment conventional PCB production. Then, alternative materials polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA)/glass fiber composite and paper are investigated for substrate. A adopts copper as conductive material requires an etching process. changing deposition method additive by printing silver nanoparticles...
Abstract Purpose Waste recycling is one of the essential tools for European Union’s transition towards a circular economy. One possibilities wood and plastic waste to utilise it produce composite product. This study analyses environmental impacts producing pallets made from construction demolition activities in Finland. It also compares these with conventional wooden virgin materials. Methods Two different life cycle assessment methods were used: attributional consequential assessment. In...
This paper investigates the factors influencing behavior of individuals in source-separation municipal solid waste an immature system for collection recyclable (Saint Petersburg, Russia) and a more mature (selected urban areas, Finland). Online questionnaires were applied to collect data from citizens Saint Petersburg Finnish population. The examined within extended theory planned using structural equation modeling identification affecting behavior. findings indicate that differed...
This article presents an analysis of possibilities for electrical energy production by using municipal solid waste disposed in the biggest Brazilian cities. Currently, Brazil is collected and at landfills, but there are also other technologies, which addition to dealing with garbage can provide benefits terms provision. The following scenarios were studied this work: electricity from landfill gas (reference scenario); incineration all waste; anaerobic digestion organic refuse-derived fuel...
