This LCA study shows that using renewable energy and bulk transport systems has a significant advantage in reducing the environmental impact created during steel production processes. Because of this, the global warming potential created during the rebar manufacturing process is 467 kgCO2 eq as taken ...
As global warming due to CO 2 emissions, steel production is considered one of today's main environmental problem and environmental impact of steel production mainly focus on reduction of energy use. This reduction of energy use is mainly achieved by important process measures and the reduction of...
Large-scale replacement of cement by other materials is not possible within the next decade. The environmental impact of cement and concrete production is low per unit volume of material, but the amounts used make the impact of the concrete sector highly important. Reductions in CO2 emissions are...

This study examines the impact of geopolitical risk on energy transition, focusing on the moderating roles of environmental regulations and green innovation within OECD countries. By employing a multivariate linear and nonlinear regression model, we iden
The assessment revealed that a steel structure in a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario contributed from 31.5 to 67.3% of the impact categories analyzed, followed by the polycarbonate covering material (from 21.8 to 45.9%). The key design factors responsible for these environmental impacts were ...
This work examines the environmental and geochemical impact of recycled aggregate concrete production with properties representative for structural applications. The environmental influence of cement content, aggregate production, transportation, and waste landfilling is analysed by undertaking a life cycle asses...
A comprehensive study of the environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology of hazardous heavy metals and metalloids shows that steps should be taken to minimize the impact of these elements on human health and the environment. 1. Introduction Environmental pollution is one of the major challenges in the ...
As a significant protein source for humans and animals, soybean (Glycine max) has experienced a fast growth with the rapid development of population and economy. Despite broad interest in energy consumption and CO2 emissions generated by soybean production, there are few impact-oriented water footpri...
of the wood based industry in Malaysia. A study by Ramasamy et al. (2015) on the environmental impact of sawmilling industry concluded that several gases such as CO2, CH4, NOx, N2O, SO2, and CO were found discharged into the environment and the impacts were found in the form of global...
