Impact of anthropogenic emission control in reducing future PM2.5 concentrations and the related oxidative potential across different regions of China
Affected by both future anthropogenic emissions and climate change, future prediction of PM2.5 and its Oxidative Potential (OP) distribution is a significant challenge, especially in developing countries like China. To overcome this challenge, we estimated ...
Elsevier2024The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify the impacts of decarbonisation pathw ...
2024Personal carbon trading applied to Swiss air travel - Guaranteeing a fair access to climate ambitious aviation
The climate crisis requires rapid and substantial emission reductions from all economic sectors, aviation included. Given the limited impact that existing policies in aviation will provide in the next decade, national policies might be required to rapidly ...
2024Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System
In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...
EPFL2023Decision support for the design of integrated biorefineries
A shift from fossil-based energy and products to more sustainable alternatives is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and associated climate change impacts. Biomass represents a promising alternative for providing fuels and carbon-based products w ...
EPFL2023(In)visible reuse: Retrofit and refurbishment practices in the home
The construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and emissions from housing and construction contribute to approximately 40% of all annual global carbon dioxide emissions. With cities racing to meet their climate targets, there is ...
2023A multi-model analysis of the EU’s path to net zero
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU’s path, from “Fit for 55” in 2030 to an intermed ...
2023Comparative Exergy and Environmental Assessment of the Residual Biomass Gasification Routes for Hydrogen and Ammonia Production
Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego
The need to reduce the dependency of chemicals on fossil fuels has recently motivated the adoption of renewable energies in those sectors. In addition, due to a growing population, the treatment and disposition of residual biomass from agricultural process ...
2023Provision of housing services within planetary limits: A methodological framework for the urban circular economy
The provision of decent housing for all is a core sustainable development goal (SDG) and a fundamental human right. However, the construction sector is the world's largest consumer of raw materials, and 40% of global CO2 emissions are attributed to housing ...
2023Action Levers towards Sustainable Wellbeing: Re-Thinking Negative Emissions, Sufficiency, Deliberative Democracy
Can system theory help identify how to change our society towards wellbeing within the ecological constraint? In particular, can we link exergy to sufficiency action? ...
