Nitrogen (N) is essential for global food production, yet its inefficient use leads to widespread environmental degradation and contributes significantly to climate change. This focus issue of Environmental Research Lett...

This article has three parts. In the first one the author analyses the formation of the international regime on climate change since the negotiations and signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Chan...

Indonesia’s power sector is still dominated by fossil fuels, which makes it difficult for the country to meet its climate goals. This study develops an integrated modeling framework to evaluate long term decarbonizatio...

Plant-scale industrial carbon accounting is critical for developing targeted emission-reduction policies. However, most assessments of carbon-intensive sectors rely on aggregate statistics, which obscure significant hete...

The temperature sensitivity of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) critically influences air quality and human health under a warming climate, yet models struggle to accurately reproduce observed sensitivities. This study im...

Abstract Agroecological transitions face a dual imperative: reducing pesticide reliance and minimising soil disturbance for climate mitigation. However, the blanket promotion of no-till practices may hinder ecological in...

An unintended consequence of wind energy generation is bat fatalities caused by wind turbine blade strikes. One potential approach to reduce collision risk is to use ultrasound to create an uncomfortable or disorienting ...

Satellite-based crop forecasting in major exporting regions can trigger production shifts in the opposite hemisphere by leveraging seasonal disparities between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres to stabilize global cr...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of the commercial treatment material (PentoMag) on combustion completeness in fossil-fueled steam power plants, using the unburned carbon fraction in the ash as a key indicator. Ash...

As aviation's contribution to anthropogenic climate change is increasing, the sector aims at reducing its climate effect in accordance with international agreements. The strong and variable non-CO2 effects are complex, m...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Urban areas are major sources of carbon emissions, and rapid urban growth in developing countries poses sustainability challenges. Qazvin, a medium-sized industrial city in Iran, faces rising e...

Given the substantial contribution of coal-fired power generation to environmental pollution in South Korea, evaluating the effectiveness of policies in the electric power sector is essential. The South Korean government...

In 2023, Canada experienced its most severe wildfire season on record, burning over 7.8 million hectares and releasing unprecedented carbon emissions surpassing the country’s previous record by several fold. These fire...

This research demonstrates how the EU Farm Accountancy Data Network (now Farm Sustainability Data Network) can be used to generate more accurate farm-level activity data to inform national inventory accounts for GHG and ...

"This paper presents a technical, financial and environmental analysis of four different hybrid buses operated under Buenos Aires driving conditions. A conventional diesel bus is used as reference and three electric hybr...

"The thermochemical decomposition of beech wood biomass results in a poor quality bio-oil, which cannot be directly used in diesel engines. In order to make this oil resemble liquid fossil fuels, an upgrading technique s...

"El presente trabajo estudia el rol de la tecnología informática en el mundo empresarial y dentro del marco de la problemática ambiental actual, el cual contempla el impacto generado por las emisiones de gases de carb...

"This thesis evaluates the technical, economic and environmental performance of a hydrogen fueled hybrid bus, which uses an internal combustion engine as a power unit. Results are compared to those of a conventional dies...

"Los objetivos de este proyecto final son: estudiar el impacto ambiental de emisiones gaseosas de los automóviles en Argentina, evaluar los avances logrados y la conveniencia de incorporar vehículos híbridos al parque...

The European Union (EU) is actively working to combat climate change and promote sustainable development by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transport sector, a major contributor of GHG emissions, was at the ...

"The transportation sector has become one of the most important sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and energy consumption in the world, and such emissions have impact in the global warming. For that reason, gove...

Tesis Energía y Ambiente (maestría) - Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires - Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, 2023 "The energy transition in the residential sector has witnessed substant...

Agricultural food production and agriculturally-related change in land use substantially contribute to greenhouse-gas
\nemissions worldwide. Four-fifths of agricultural emissions arise from the livestock sector. Alth...
