Production of Renewable Insulation Material – New Business Model of Bioeconomy for Clean Energy Transition

Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2021
Mycelium composites is a new class of renewable materials which can be used for heat insulation of buildings. Use of the composites would help to reduce both operational energy consumption and embodied energy of building insulation materials. In addition,

Are Developed Regions in China Achieving Their CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets on Their Own?—Case of Beijing

Energies, 2017
The extensive and close economic linkages among different regions of China have effects not only on regional economic growth, but also on CO2 emissions and carbon leakage among regions. Taking Beijing as a study case, we constructed MRIO models for China’

Study of CO₂emissions embodied in China's exports [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2015
This paper employs a revised input-output model to empirically investigate the CO2 emissions embodied in export based on the input-output (I-O) table in China from 1999 to 2008. The key results indicate the carbon emission embodied in exports has risen from 0.38 Gt in 1999 to 1.19 Gt in 2008, in which 12–24% consumption demands come from other ...

Relevance of Embodied Energy and Carbon Emissions on Assessing Cost Effectiveness in Building Renovation—Contribution from the Analysis of Case Studies in Six European Countries

Buildings, 2018
The construction sector is facing increasingly strict energy efficiency regulations. Existing buildings have specific technical, functional and economic constraints, which, in fulfilling regulations, could lead to costly and complex renovation procedures

Improving the environmental performance of electric vehicles as the grid decarbonises: Design interventions to reduce embodied emissions and in-use energy losses of switched reluctance motors

Energy Conversion and Management: X
The transport sector is rapidly electrifying, so demand for electric motors is predicted to rise, while emissions associated with vehicle use will decline in-line with grid decarbonisation.
