The Decarbonisation of the Built Environment could be a much more expensive exercise and less effective than it needs to be. To prevent this, we need to consider the three levels of ‘How’ to decarbonise. Level 1 Ask, at the first and broadest level, “how do we decarbonise by 204...
Black carbon (BC) is produced by incomplete combustion of biomass by wildfires and burning of fossil fuels. BC is environmentally persistent over centuries to millennia, sequestering carbon in marine and terrestrial environments. However, its production, storage and dynamics, and therefore its role in...
branched, or ring-shaped. In addition to forming a single bond, two carbon atoms can form a double bond or a triple bond If just one atom of another element is substituted for a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon, a different compound is created Mrs. Lee - Ch 8 ...
Carbon emissions will be an important binding indicator for China’s social and economic development in the future [1]. Carbon reduction in vast rural areas is an important part of China’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality. Biomass energy is a renewable energy with natural energy storage ...
Similarly, there is a large body of literature within the field of SCM with research directions related to green and low-carbon DCSC, with its related research being identified as an important branch of management science and sustainable development [60]. Sarkis et al. [61] defined the related...
Specifically, the invitees were asked to “Email your ten most important questions (or fewer) relevant to improving our understanding of blue carbon science and its application to climate change mitigation”. We did not ask scientists to prioritise their questions, or target any particular ...
The recently-proposed concept of soil Microbial Carbon Pump (MCP) emphasizes the importance of soil microbial anabolism and its contributions to soil carbon formation and stabilization, which can be applied for elucidating the source, formation and sequestration of soil organic carbon. This article ...
We discuss the deterioration of environmental quality due to increased energy demand and present a scenario for achieving food, energy, and environmental sustainability by using the photoautotrophic microbes. We also share views on biofuel production and its utilization status, its potential to fulfill ...
RuBisCO catalyzes both the carboxylation and oxygenation of its substrate [35]. CO2 and O2 compete for the same active site on RuBisCO when reacting with the same substrate. The carboxylation results in the formation of two molecules of a three-carbon-containing organic acid, 3-phosphoglycerate (...
solar energy is diffuse and intermittent, requiring techniques for its capture, conversion, long-term storage, and long-range distribution. In addition to the technical challenges posed for the conversion of solar energy and feedstocks, there are those related to social, economic, and environmental ...
