The water footprint of biofuels from microalgae

Microalgae are receiving much interest as a possible biofuels feedstock, resulting in increasing research and development efforts. Biofuels from microalgae are potentially important sources of liquid renewable energy carriers, replacing petrol. Algae are not produced on a large-scale yet, but research shows promising results. Biofuel production needs water, an increasingly scarce resource. The ...

Conceptualizing the Quantification of the Carbon Footprint of IT-Services

This paper focusses on conceptualizing the quantification of the Carbon Footprint of IT-Services (CFIS). Initially, the increasing relevance of Carbon Footprint to the IS-community is pointed out. Based on literature review, we present related work that describes underlying concepts e.g. the Carbon Footprint of Products, Life Cycle Assessment as well as IT energy and performance measurement. We...

Estimation of the Carbon Footprint in Dairy Sheep Farm

By 2050, the earth’s population is expected to be more than 9 billion. The need for secure food and water supply will force agriculture to increase production. The major greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the livestock sector are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) throughout the production process. These gases are the key contributor to an in...
