Abstract The increasing volume of textile waste in landfills and incineration poses severe environmental challenges. Waste valorisation via anaerobic digestion (AD) is preferable, as it offers economic benefits, but hindered by complexity, necessitating effective pretreatment technologies to improve biogas production. This study aims evaluate various for production from fibres AD. A weighted‐scoring analysis (WSA) assessed methods based on technical, economic, operational criteria. Hydrothermal emerged the most technically method, scoring 140 owing its substantial methane enhancement. Economically, shredding was viable option, 125, a consequence low capital O&M cost. Environmentally, hydrothermal deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatments were top performers with 100 points impact positive heat reactions. In case conducted Auckland region, potential (PEI) obtained DES 169 92 per year, respectively, resulting minimal impact. Operationally, ultrasonic biological scored highest their ease operation, health safety requirements. Overall, achieved WSA score 340, reflecting balanced performance across all promising technology enhancing waste. Its technical efficiency, feasibility benefits regarding make suitable upscaling providing solution managing AD plant. © 2024 Author(s).

Transformers are primarily key components in power transmission and distribution systems. In the electrical industry, transformers becoming increasingly important to increase energy efficiency reduce environmental impact. process from production use of transformers, various strategies technologies adopted carbon footprint. To achieve decarbonization targets a future with sustainable energy, ongoing efforts footprint need continue. Therefore, this study aims calculate (CF) Beta Energy Adana Province Türkiye. A comprehensive inventory is being created determine monitor greenhouse gas emissions Energy, transformer manufacturer. This includes direct indirect all company’s activities. The findings show that 2023, total CF equal 1,799,482.72 tons CO2-eq considering 6044 sold results 297 CO2-eq/transformer per product. manufacturing industry has high because it an energy-intensive process. areas where most occur revealed by hot spot analysis study. minimize both current during production, measures be taken R&D, transportation, service stages revealed. establish foundation for Energy’s managing them effectively.

Clarifying the temporal and spatial characteristics of regional carbon emissions low-carbon efficiency is great significance for realization peaking neutrality. This study calculated in Sichuan Province from 2015 to 2022 based on four major units: energy activity, industrial production, forestry waste disposal, its time evolution key sources were investigated. Meanwhile, Super-SBM-Undesirable model, 21 cities (states) was evaluated, heterogeneity The empirical results reveal following: (1) activity main contributor emissions, with thermal power generation terminal consumption as sectors. Inter-regional allocation could indirectly reduce emission intensity. production showed significant aggregation cement steel production. forest sink had a effect alleviating greenhouse effect. disposal small. (2) From 2022, an overall upward trend. Chengdu high level economic development, reasonable organization, continuous increase urban greening rate. Heavy such Panzhihua Deyang made efforts eliminate backward capacity transformation industries. Therefore, they first mover advantage regions transformation. Zigong, Mianyang, Suining, Leshan enjoyed favorable preferential policies energy-saving space, developmental But need actively deal problem solidification. plateau areas western relatively low, but have unique resource endowment advantages clean hydropower, so development potential strong. Cities Ya’an Bazhong faced series challenges weak geographical risk pollution haven. They

Climate change stands out as a significant environmental issue on global scale, with greenhouse gases being one of its primary drivers. The gas process provides critical framework for understanding the sources, emissions, and impacts these gases. This article presents an overview fundamental elements in textile sector discusses how it should be managed line sustainability goals. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxides (N2O), fluorinated are most common gases, each derived from different sources. is particularly associated high especially areas such energy consumption, water usage, waste management. Therefore, measurements taken factories crucial identifying emission sources developing reduction strategies. examines detail emissions resulting various activities at Kıvanç Textile. Energy fuels used electricity heating processes, evaluated. Additionally, other important refrigerant leaks, management, transportation analyzed. measurement was carried accordance national international standards. inventory includes data fuel transportation, production management throughout factory. Based data, total amount were determined. study systematic method calculating company’s carbon footprint, collected Such can provide reference point companies when making similar calculations. All businesses facility where conducted examined calculations made 1350 employees. As result detailed study, Textile’s corporate footprint 2023 calculated 68,746.86 tons CO2e. According to this obtained, Textile emitted 50.92 CO2e per employee. At same time, determined that 4,427,082 15.53 (ton) calculated. also proposed strategies reducing emissions. These include efficiency measures, use renewable reduction, adoption efficient processes. In conclusion, emphasizes importance efforts measure reduce factories. achieving goals sector. obtained will support factory’s minimize impacts.
