Life cycle assessments (LCAs) play a strategic role in improving the environmental performance of company and supporting successful marketing communication. The high impact food industry on natural resources, terms water consumption greenhouse gases emission, has been focusing attention consumers producers towards environmentally sustainable products. This work presents comprehensive approach for joint evaluation carbon (CF) (WF) footprint wine from cradle to grave perspective. LCA analysis...
An original methodology for the Water Footprint Assessment (WFA) of a Product wine-making industry sector is presented, with particular focus on evaluation procedure grey water. Results obtained proposed are also presented an Italian case study. The product was analyzed using life-cycle approach, aim studying water volumes each phase according to newly-released ISO 14046 international standard. functional unit chosen in this study common 0.75 liter wine bottle. in-house software (V.I.V.A.)...
High energy consumption is one of the main problems drying, a critical process for many industrial sectors. The optimization drying use results in significant saving and has become topic interest recent decades. We investigate benefits heat recovery convective system by comparing two different scenarios. Baseline Scenario conventional dryer, 1 includes preheating air exhausts from chamber. show that efficiency cycle strictly related to properties dried material operative conditions,...
Energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction have become two of the most important issues to address in fighting climate change. Focused strategies been implemented aiming at reducing energy consumption buildings since it is one energy-intensive sectors, but they are mainly concerned with without considering their environmental impact. The present work therefore aims assessing impacts use insulation materials for building envelope refurbishment as thermal coating. Reference were used...
Global environmental issues are arising over the developed and developing world. Improving energy efficiency reducing Green Gases emissions become key in all economic sectors and, particular, building sector that is one of most energy-consuming. It is, therefore, important to find alternative materials with low-environmental impact contributing global sustainability. In context, this study reports on performance sustainable produced from natural resources as hemp-concrete or recycled-waste...
Energy production from biomass is very strategic for the achievement of global sustainability goals and use biofuels decentralized energy in medium-small size plants, which conforms to fossil GHG reduction targets, expected increase short-medium term. This paper proposes a simplified methodology estimating Carbon Footprint associated with heat generation by forest woodchips. The includes all relevant life cycle phases based on specific fuel plant characteristics, so it can effectively...
ABSTRACT The paper contributes to the debate on eco‐design as a driver for circular economy configuration of firms' business models. study presents empirical evidence research promoted by Working Group Eco‐design and Circular Business Model ICESP, Italian Economy Stakeholder Platform. adopted two‐stage qualitative investigation approach, including an online focus group self‐administered survey. Findings showed that adoption is conceived into larger strategy innovation aimed at continuous...
Geothermal heat pumps have a widespread diffusion as they are able to deliver relatively higher energy output than other systems for building air-conditioning. The exploitation of low-enthalpy geothermal energy, however, presents crucial sustainability issues. This review investigates the primary forms environmental impact and strategies their mitigation. As life-cycle analyses shows that highest impacts arise from installation operation stages, most optimization studies focus on system...
This paper presents a model to evaluate the life cycle greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, expressed in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq), generic fleet composition as function traffic simulation results. First we evaluated complete each category vehicles currently circulating; next, by defining general linear equation, environmental performances real road network (city Rome) were using approach. Finally, proposed methodology was applied GHG emission 100% penetration battery electric...
In this paper, a procedure for the detection of sources industrial noise and evaluation their distances is introduced. The above method based on analysis acoustic optical data recorded by an camera. order to improve resolution data, interpolation quasi algorithms digital processing have been used, such as bilinear, bicubic, sampling Kantorovich (SK). experimental tests show that SK algorithm allows perform task more accurately than other considered methods.
The urgent need to make buildings more performant in energy and environmental terms has led the increasing study of recycled natural materials as viable solutions. In this context, present aims at comparing performance innovative wall-sample solutions (with polyethylene-terephthalate panels or durum-wheat straw bales) with a basic one. Energy evaluations were performed Piazza Armerina (a city Sicily–Italy), where chosen material is widespread, by applying two calculation methods: monthly...
