Affordable and Clean Energy: CO2 Emissions, Resilience and Inequality

Sustainable 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 ...

Operationalizing the Waste Hierarchy Though A Synthetic Performance Indicator: Evidence From Spain

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring compliance with the European Union (EU) waste hierarchy is essential for advancing circular economy objectives and meeting legally binding municipal solid waste (MSW) targets. This study develops and applies the Waste Hierarchy Achievement Synthetic Indicator (WHASI), an innovative synthetic index designed to assess territorial ...

Can Common Recycling Targets Deliver Convergence? Evidence From EU Municipal Waste Recycling, 2004–2023

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThe EU Waste Framework Directive sets common municipal waste recycling targets for all Member States, yet large cross‐country gaps persist. This paper examines whether EU‐27 recycling rates converged over 2004–2023, whether convergence stalled after 2018, and which factors shaped catch‐up.

One‐Step, High‐Yield Deconstruction of Kraft Lignin Into a Redox‐Active Small Molecule Using Sonicated Emulsive Water Microdroplets

Small, EarlyView.
This study reports a rapid (∼20 min), uncatalyzed deconstruction of Kraft lignin (∼14.2 kDa) using sonicated emulsive water microdroplets (SEWMs) in the presence of 2.5 M HNO3. The work demonstrates the combined synergistic effect of sonochemical excitation and microdroplet redox chemistry to induce C─C bond cleavage and reductive nitration to ...
