The social risks of green energy transition are underexplored. One of the important questions is which materials used in green energy technologies offer the greatest social benefits, such as ensuring decent living conditions, and which pose the most soci
All ecosystems in the landscapes are associated with energy transformation and the convergence of transformed products toward higher hierarchical levels, the recycling of materials to dispersed backgrounds, and feedbacks to reinforce the supporting environment. A hierarchy can be seen as an organized ...
To sum up, there are different storage options but there are some critical factors (recycling, toxic materials, improper storage, damage to human health and ecosystems, etc.) that should be considered. Finally, it should be noted that a burgeoning field of research involves PV electricity product...
Meaning that the atoms constituring any matter or for that sake our bodies are not new but are recycled through the biogeochemical cycles from other matter. This is different from how energy continuously is transformed and flows through the ecosystems and partly is dissipated as non recoverable hea...
Agricultural climate policies affect food prices differently in poor, wealthy countries – Study January 3, 2025 2025: What you can do about climate change apart from talking about it January 2, 2025 COP29: NCF advocates ecosystems preservation to enhance climate resilience ...
The three major types are: Aquatic biomes: These are the ones found in water bodies. It is divided into smaller ecosystems: Pond ecosystem River ecosystem Deepwater ecosystem Shallow-water ecosystem Terrestrial biomes: These are found on land. There can be more than one terrestrial biome ...
Each sink has a number of constraints on the characteristics (e.g., flowrate and composition) of feed that it can process. If a source satisfies these constraints it may be directly recycled to or reused in the sink. However, if the source violates these constraints segregation, mixing, ...

This is because in the long term the renewable ecosystems can only absorb the carbon that originates from their own flows. In theory, the goals presented seem to be in line with the industrial ecosystem analogy. The organic or biological cycle of an ecosystem does not use carbon stocks from...
Renewable energies are key to reduce CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts of fossil-fueled electricity generation. However, renewable energy systems can also cause negative environmental effects. In this paper, we analyze the potential environme
