Investigating the Environmental Impact of Additive Construction: A Systematic Analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment Studies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Promising water-saving strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring rice yield in paddy fields: Evidences from a global meta-analysis

Agricultural Water Management
Water-saving irrigation practices (WSIs) are increasingly promoted to address water scarcity and sustain global rice production, with proven potential to reduce global warming potential (GWP) in low water-use efficiency paddy fields.

Carbon‐Intensive Agriculture: Agricultural Trade Openness, Energy Use, and Environmental Challenges in High‐Emission Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the socioeconomic determinants of agricultural CO2 emissions in the 10 highest‐emitting agricultural economies from 1992 to 2022. Using the LM bootstrap cointegration method and the method of moments quantile regression (MMQR), the analysis identifies long‐run relationships and heterogeneous effects across the emissions ...

Comparison of Dielectric Recovery After Arc Burning in SF6 Gas and Its Potential Alternatives

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) exhibits exceptional insulating properties, it is a potent greenhouse gas. Therefore, studying alternatives to SF6 is critical for developing environmentally friendly high‐voltage electrical equipment.

The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Do Global Reporting Initiative Reports Capture Planetary Boundaries‐related Information? An Empirical Investigation

Abacus, EarlyView.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has become a widely adopted sustainability reporting framework. This study aims to examine whether GRI reports can, should, and do address planetary boundaries. To do so, the study develops a framework and method to assess the extent to which planetary boundaries‐related information is captured in firms’ GRI ...
