Business Model and Sustainable Development Goals for an Innovative Agricultural Waste Management: Distributed Biogas Production

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological progress and population growth have increased global pork demand; leading to a rise of methane emission from pig farming, a key contributor to climate change. Anaerobic digestion offers a sustainable solution by converting manure into biogas.

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Affordable and Clean Energy: CO2 Emissions, Resilience and Inequality

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable development means building the resilience of both people and the planet. It includes implementing strategies which reduce emissions while also enabling more vulnerable households to transition to clean and affordable energy. This paper examines household CO2 emissions in Ireland to highlight those who emit most and least in key ...

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

Do Product Market Reforms Work? Assessing Regulatory Changes Impacting Competition

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We create a new dataset that characterizes studies of product market reforms implemented from 1932 to 2011. We examine the size and origins of differences in estimated impacts based on an OECD classification scheme for potentially competitive restrictions of regulation. The median impact from switching to a pro‐competitive environment is a 19%

Deploying Soft Operations Research Techniques in Hybrid Modelling: The Role of Qualitative System Dynamics in Sustainability Analysis

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Organisations increasingly need modelling approaches that can support sustainable development decisions across economic, environmental and social dimensions. The triple bottom line (TBL) perspective provides a useful basis for such analysis, but it also introduces modelling challenges because the relevant dimensions are often interdependent ...
