The analysis of import tariffs on natural resource has been undertaken on the establishment of two modeling approaches for both nonrenewable resources and renewable resources. However, it is too hard to find the literature that analyzed the optimal tariffs on timber trade by modeling the biological characteristics of forest explicitly. This paper, hence, is designed to examine the dynamic struc...

Since the relationship between the supply and demand of fossil fuels is on edge in the long run, the contradiction between the economic growth and limited resources will hinder the sustainable development of the Chinese society. This paper aims to analyze the input of fossil fuels in China during 2000-2010 via the material flow analysis (MFA) that takes hidden flows into account. With coal, oil...

This article is devoted to analyzing the need to develop life support systems (LSS) and using these systems under the conditions of the twenty-first century. The underlying problem concerns the use of all kinds of natural resources, especially nonrenewable ones, and the growing negative impact of human civilization on the earth's environment. In the first part of the article, the concept of a u...

This paper presents the dynamic modeling and simulation of a microturbine generation (MTG) system, the nonrenewable source of energy suitable for isolated as well as grid-connected operation in microgrid networks. A microgrid is defined as an independent low or mediumvoltage distribution network comprising various DGs, energy storages, and controllable loads. The MTG system consisting of a perm...

Abstract Functional diet and food safety requirements, as well reducing the consumption of nonrenewable resources environmental pollution are important development themes on processing. The application edible nanocelluloses (NCs) is an urgent need in current field. NCs divided into three types, including cellulose nanofibrils, nanocrystals from natural fibers, bacterial synthesized by bacteria....

Recently, due to the depletion of natural resources and raising environmental economic concerns regarding petroleum derivatives, creation novel ecologically friendly sustainable materials made from bio-based renewable is gaining popularity. Alkyd resins are synthetic in which both (fatty acids, glycerol, oil, etc.) nonrenewable (maleic anhydride, pentaerythritol, phthalic raw used their product...

Currently, most commodity chemicals and polymers are manufactured from nonrenewable petroleum-based resources. However, due to its finite nature social claims about environment preservation, alternative sources of value-added building block being intensively studied. Renewable lignocellulosic biomass has offered an attractive replacement for fossil-based chemicals. Lignin C5/C6 sugars obtained ...
