Construction and demolition waste as a raw material for wood polymer composites – Assessment of environmental impacts
(Elsevier, 2019-04-04)
The European Commission's ambitious construction and demolition waste (CDW) material recovery target has placed pressure on Finland to increase its CDW material recovery rate. It has been identified that using CDW fractions, ...
Carbon handprint – An approach to assess the positive climate impacts of products demonstrated via renewable diesel case
(Elsevier, 2018-09-28)
The capacity to calculate and communicate the beneficial environmental impact of products and services is lacking in scientific guidelines. To fill this gap, this article presents a new approach for calculating the carbon ...
Business strategies for managing legislative requirements: A case study of legislative sustainability requirements for biofuels in the EU
(Inderscience Publishers, 2018)
Businesses employ different strategies to manage legislative requirements; however, there is little science-based understanding of the strategies that are in use. This study introduces a general legislation maturity model ...
Sustainability criteria and indicators of bioenergy systems from steering, research and Finnish bioenergy business operators’ perspectives
(Elsevier, 2016)
This paper addresses the interface of steering, research, and business operators’ perspectives to bioenergy sustainability. Although bioenergy business operators are essential for sustainable development of bioenergy systems ...
A life cycle environmental sustainability analysis of microbial protein production via power-to-food approaches
(Springer, 2020-09-21)
Purpose
Renewable energy produced from wind turbines and solar photovoltaics (PV) has rapidly increased its share in global energy markets. At the same time, interest in producing hydrocarbons via power-to-X (PtX) ...
Carbon Handprint
(Springer, Cham, 2020-05-13)
A carbon handprint is a new approach developed to quantify the positive climate impact of products and services. In contrast to carbon footprint, which refers to negative global warming potential as a consequence of ...
Environmental Impact Assessment
(Springer, 2020-06-04)
The premises of environmental impact assessment (EIA) lie in the Earth’s limited environmental carrying capacity (Mebratu 1998; Meadows et al. 2005; Rockström et al. 2009; Steffen et al. 2015), the concept of sustainable ...
Life Cycle Assessment
(Springer, Cham, 2020-05-24)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is a standardized method for assessing the potential environmental impact of a product or service throughout its lifetime (ISO 14040). As such, it represents a valuable tool by which ...
Developing the nitrogen handprint approach to quantify the positive impacts of industrial symbiosis on nitrogen cycles
(Elsevier, 2022-08-13)
Excessive nitrogen (N) uptake for nutrient use in food production and industry and increased N losses to the environment severely interfere with nutrient cycles and harm the environment and thus, closing N cycles through ...
Carbon Handprint Approach for Cities and Regions: A Framework to Reveal and Assess the Potential of Cities in Climate Change Mitigation
(MDPI, 2022-05-26)
Cities play a pivotal role in climate change mitigation; however, the methodology to quantify actual emission reduction potential of climate interventions implemented by cities and regions has been lacking. The aim of this ...
