Municipal solid waste (MSW) management contributes substantially to climate change. The greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from waste collection and landfill activities have a significant contribution. The carbon footprint is an important environmental indicator to express GHG emissions. Nowadays...

The need to decarbonize economic production processes is undeniable and has been considered by most countries worldwide. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies appear among the most promising routes to the decarbonization process. We propose an...

The main objective of the research is to examine the dynamic relationship between energy consumption, CO2 emissions and economic output in ASEAN for the period 1971-2015 using cointegration and causality models. The empirical results from the models suggest that there is a long-run relationship...

During the last two decades CO2 emissions increased rapidly along with the growth of production and energy use in the industrial sector in Thailand. We use the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to decompose the source of changes of CO2 emission level and CO2 emission intensity of the...

The shared bicycles had become an important choice for Beijing citizens to travel "the last kilometer" on a daily basis. By replacing buses and cars, sharing bicycles can reduce urban carbon emissions, and only occupy a small area of parking space, thus improving urban land use efficiency. A...

The paper guides three scenarios of power planning for Vietnam for the 2018-2030 period under CO2 emission targets. The analysis employs a model of energy expansion in the form of an optimization problem with the objective of the discounted entire system cost minimization. With each CO2 emission...

Nowadays, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been growing continuously due to the increase of energy consumption, generated from carbon-based fuels and has created global warming. In this study, a model of carbon dioxide capture adsorption in a fluidized bed reactor was...

Clay is a local construction material used in a traditional building, it has many environmental, social and cultural benefits. The present research study focuses on improving the thermophysical properties of clay extracted from Erfoud city in the south-east of Morocco by incorporating natural...

Utilization of agro-residues from maize production as biorenewable energy source is considered to be a very good and sustainable waste management method. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a thermochemical conversion process for solid organic materials at elevated temperature and pressure in...

The damaging effect of climate change has made mankind to continuously pursue means of reversing global warming caused by greenhouse gases. CO2 gas according to available data for the year 2010 represents a whopping 76% of the emitted global greenhouse gases hence, making it a focal point in the...
