In November 2021, the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) was held in Glasgow, UK, global leaders from nearly 200 countries stressed taking immediate action on climate issue and how to ensure net-zero emissions by 2030. It is possible accelerate transition low-carbon energy systems, present study seeks identify analyse key barriers Low Carbon Operations (LCO) emerging economies. A critical literature review undertaken recognise linked adoption of LCO. To validate these barriers, an empirical with a dataset 127 respondents Indian automobile industry conducted. The validated were analysed using Best Worst Method (BWM) Decision-Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) techniques. BWM used determine priority ranking while DEMATEL method employed elucidate cause-effect inter-relationships among listed barriers. results suggest that ‘Economic’ most influential category followed ‘Infrastructure’ ‘Operational’. also show ‘Economic’, ‘Environmental’, ‘Organizational Governance’ belong cause group.

Abstract The construction industry is a major user of non-renewable energy and contributor to emission greenhouse gases, thus requiring achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Indeed, activities account for 36% global consumption 39% dioxide emissions. Reducing requires adapted government policies, analysis calculation models, sustainable materials. Here, we review green with focus on history, emissions, life cycle assessment, materials such as biochar, bioplastic, agricultural waste, animal wool, fly ash self-healing concrete. Analysis over the building shows that phase accounts 20–50% total average ratio annual operation 0.62. We present national policy frameworks technology roadmaps from United States America, Japan, China, European Union, highlighting plans neutrality in sector.

The building sector is known to be a major emitter of global greenhouse gases. Given that, the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from account for about 38 % and 35 energy consumption globally. As result, stakeholder's partnership has been acknowledged as promising pathway towards achieving net zero whole life cycle. Stakeholders are involved directly or indirectly in every stage However, identification key stakeholders each cycle multifaceted under-explored. This paper aims systematically explore further identify respective roles these building. A systematic review was conducted on forty 40 articles obtained Scopus. Results this study revealed five (5) stages which include preconstruction, construction, operation maintenance, demolition, reuse stage. Nine (9) groups were identified across Furthermore, forty-seven (47) also study. findings could guide policymakers, researchers, non-organizations prioritizing formation policies.

The building sector plays a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions European Union (EU). revision Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD) sets out how Europe can achieve decarbonised stock by 2050. This paper offers an overview recent policy developments and examines introduced provisions on new existing buildings. While nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) remains current standard since 2011 for buildings, emission (ZEBs) are set as future target 2030. Accordingly, this provides insights into ZEBs, clarifying when concept brought out. In particular, it discusses methodological aspects that ZEBs should address, outlining decisive efficiency renewable energy. main features pragmatic ZEB definition which be distinguished from other concepts.
