Mine closure is regulated and planned on an individual site basis selection of post-mining land uses (PMLUs) are commonly considered from that perspective. Some mining jurisdictions, such as Queensland in Australia, starting to acknowledge the need for wider regional planning approaches which PMLU considers local strategies, surrounding landscape community views. Shifting thinking site-specific scale offers strategic advantages including ability consider options only viable at reinstate larger expanses native bushland or functional agricultural land. Assessing selecting requires interdisciplinary approach incorporates diverse technical, social stakeholders. However, there little guidance how conduct assessment this type scale.

Abstract In this study, we have reported the synthesis of both pure and bismuth‐doped lead oxide nanoparticles using solvothermal method. The synthesized nanomaterials were analyzed to assess their structure, crystallinity, phase, maximum absorption band gap. electrical characteristics fabricated nanostructures evaluated cyclic voltammetry (CV) electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS). specific capacitance energy density, 349.96 F/g 95.27 Wh/g respectively, attained at a scan rate 200 mV/s in oxide. has displayed remarkable stability, retaining approximately 83 % its performance even after undergoing 2000 cycles. addition bismuth appeared inhibit electrochemical properties due ion adsorption. This effect is directly concerned with amount dopant which predicted increase contents potentially suppressed Our study provides insights into possible uses oxides storage conversion devices by revealing previously unexplored method for optimizing characteristics. understanding oxide‐based materials science electrochemistry expected advance use novel technology.

This study examines the political economy of decarbonization in eight countries over period 2000 to 2021/2022 that have already achieved a national net-zero transition. These are Bhutan, Suriname, Panama, Guyana, Comoros, Gabon, Madagascar, and Niue. It utilizes an analytical method rich, interdisciplinary systematized literature review integrated with thematic analysis. For each these countries, drivers motivation behind progress, including timeline events; barriers challenges had be overcome; benefits its impacts on equity justice.

Countries around the world are prioritising net zero emissions to meet their Paris Agreement goals. The demand for social impact assessment (SIA) is likely grow as this transition will require investments in decarbonisation projects with speed and at scale. There be winners losers of these because not everyone benefits same; hence, trade-offs inevitable. SIAs, therefore, should focus on understanding how risks distributed among within stakeholders sectors enable identification that just fair. In study, we used a hypothetical case large-scale hydrogen production regional Australia engaged multi-disciplinary experts identify justice issues transitioning such an industry. Using Rawlsian theory fairness, identified several tensions between different groups (national, regional, local, inter intra-communities) (environmental economic) concerning establishment These disproportionately affected by establishment. We argue principles would practice SIA trade-offs. Further, conceptualise systems approach critical facilitate wider participation, agile process achieving SIA.

Abstract On-site conversion of organic waste into biogas to satisfy consumer energy demand has the potential realize equality and mitigate climate change reliably. However, existing methods ignore either real-time full supply or methane escape when are mismatched. Here, we show an improved design community production distribution system overcome these achieve co-benefits in developing economies. We take five systems as empirical examples. Mechanisms synergistic adjusting out-of-step flow rates on both plant-side user-side defined obtain consumption-to-production ratios close 1, such that rural inhabitants can be met. Furthermore, carbon mitigation its viability under universal prevailing climates illustrated. Coupled with manure management optimization, Chinese national deployment proposed would contribute a 3.77% reduction towards meeting global 1.5 °C target.
