npj Materials Sustainability volume 2, Article number: 35 (2024) Cite this article 1193 Accesses Metrics details Abstract The current CO2 emissions scale (Gton) magnitude is 5–6 orders greater than that of utilization (Mton). CO2 utilization should focus on its massive consumption, application ...
The system boundary of an LCA study defines the life stages that should be included in the environmental impact evaluation. In this research, cradle-to-gate methodology is adopted to quantify the environmental impact of one cubic meter of concrete product using recycled SCM materials. The cradle-t...
We also took into account other methods that similarly try to implement multiple cohorts of studies to become reference panels, one of such is the Meta-imputation. Instead of “merging” the reference panels, Meta-imputation combines the imputed result from multiple reference panels. We performed t...
utilizing over 80% of the cyanide produced annually2. It is used to produce organic materials such as nylon, nitrile, adhesives, plastics, paints, solvents, enamels, herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides2,4. Additionally, it is widely used in metallurgy, jewelry manufacturing, and certain...
“Supplementary Materials”—in driving the relevance of the digital divide, our dependent variable, while controlling for other factors (Subsection “Baseline estimates”); next, we run a number of robustness checks meant to deal with potential omitted variable bias (Subsection “Robustness checks”)...
A compounding factor complicating effective governance for urban sustainability is the increasing complexity of urban systems, the nature of which includes interdependencies and feedback loops affecting the efficacy of interventions and monitoring. However, effective governance for urban sustainability is compli...
The biomining process is not limited to Earth. It may serve as an innovative method for reducing the cost of raw materials and energy requirements beyond LEO, enhancing the sustainability of life on extraterrestrial outposts. Martian and lunar basalt are known to contain many valuable metals, suc...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an incredibly diverse group of highly porous hybrid materials, which are interesting for a wide range of possible applications. For a meaningful theoretical description of many of their properties accurate and computat
For instance, the term ‘wood’ may not have a clear connection to climate mitigation without its context, such as in Paris’s climate strategy documents, which state a desire ‘to promote the use of materials that emit fewer carbon emissions throughout their life cycles, such as locally ...
In addition, the absence of fat will impact flavor development during cooking69. Adding fat and flavoring agents during product manufacturing may help overcome these issues of cultured meat69, but further studies are required. Scaffold materials may also influence the development of the taste and ...
