Climate-Neutral Aviation: how will it affect communities, companies, citizens?

Sascha Nick

Science tells us that a climate-responsible aviation is much smaller, given the urgency and limited contribution of future efficiency gains and biofuels. If flying becomes more exceptional and expensive, how can we collectively prepare, and what will this ...

More from Less? Environmental Rebound Effects of City Size

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems and their metabolism adequately. It has been proposed that bigger and denser cities are more resource-efficient than smaller ones because they tend to demand less infra ...

The potential of palm-oil biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with fossil fuels is increasingly questioned. So far, no measurement-based GHG budgets were available, and plantation age was ignored in Life Cycle Analyses (LCA). Here, w ...

2020

Steady increase in global energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and depletion of fossil energy resources, together with increased attention towards sustainable development has prompted researchers to discover economical and environmentally competit ...

Assessing the sustainability of biofuel production from camelina in Spain, results of the ITAKA project - analysis of GHG emissions

Massimiliano Capezzali, Mélanie Guittet

Purpose With the rapid growth and increased consumption of biofuels worldwide, and the multitude of policy decisions supporting this expansion, growing concerns about the biofuels sustainability have arisen. Therefore, the European project ITAKA, aiming at ...

Establishing building environmental targets to implement a low carbon objective at the district level: methodology and case study

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

To face climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets are specified into national policies. In France, the objective is to divide by 4 (Factor 4) the GHG emissions by 2050 comparing to 1990. The built environment, as a main contributor, is targeted ...
