This dissertation focuses on the changes needed in energy education in order to integrate sustainability into the courses of energy degree programmes at technical universities. Education is an important driver of and energy ...

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 São Paulo ...

One of the major global environmental challenges is the overuse of nutrients and related eutrophication problems. Specifically in Finland, the roach fish population is rapidly increasing in eutrophic water systems. Currently ...

Ever-increasing waste generation, resource depletion and awareness of adverse environmental impacts all factor into the growing application of life cycle assessment (LCA) as a method for evaluating the potential environmental ...

Cement production is responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A potential option to reduce the cement production emissions is to use alternative fuels which can have also an impact on ...

Portland cement (PC) production is resource-intensive and contributes 4–8% of global CO2 emissions. The quest for reduced CO2 emissions from PC production has led to the development of geopolymer binders. Geopolymers are ...

Global food production faces significant challenges owing to the growing population and limited resources including land and freshwater. Animal protein production consumes a major proportion of globally produced food ...

Forest biomass is a crucial element in the energy system in many parts of the world, especially in Finland, and it is expected to play a similar, if not a more important, role in the near future as countries aim to replace ...

This study sheds light on the environmental performance of three alkali-activated mortars (AAMs) using sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate powder and 2-part aqueous alkali solutions respectively, as activators. A comparative ...

The life cycle assessment (LCA) of municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems is typically rather arduous due to extensive data acquisition needed to calculate the direct and avoided emissions of the systems. A possibility ...
