Changes in global development benchmarks, the gradual depletion of natural resources, as well climatic changes are forcing economic actors around world to look for alternative methods energy production. The transition them can be difficult due high cost produced and pressure from states corporations specializing extraction classical sources. article is devoted study renewable energy. uses a sta...

     Investigation of drought event has a great importance in the natural resources and water resources management and planning. In this research, the effect of the climate change on drought characteristics in Khoy station was investigated using the HadCM3 model under B2 scenario. The statistical downscaling was executed using SDSM 4.2.9 and observed daily precipitation, observed predictors and...

Abstract The global aircraft fleet has been expanding worldwide, leading to a high demand for primary resources. Simultaneously, recycling initiatives decommissioned are still incipient. Following circular economy principles, the aims of this paper identify potentially critical resources used and related environmental impacts, derive recommendations regarding recycling, analyze influence increa...

The world currently obtains its energy from the fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. However, the international crisis in the Middle East, rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves as well as climate change have driven the world towards renewable energy sources which are abundant, untapped and environmentally friendly. Malaysia has abundant biomass resources generated from the agricult...

environmental issues have attracted many concerns in recent years. life cycle assessment (lca) is a method that evaluates all environmental effects of a product during its life cycle. the objective of this study was to introduce lca [to persian researchers] and to use it in assessment of environmental impact of wheat production in gorgan, ne iran compared to european counties. first, data were ...

Abstract Previous research has identified that climate change mitigation policies could increase demand for resources perceived as critical, because these are used in many renewable energy technologies. This study assesses how reducing the extraction and use of fossil fuels affect supply (i) elements jointly produced with (ii) a host is currently mainly fuel chains. Several critical which poten...

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...

Bioresources are used in different production systems as materials as well as energy carriers. The same is true for fossil fuel resources. This study explored whether preferential resource usages exist, using a building insulation system as an example, with regard to the following sustainability criteria: climate impact, land, and fossil fuel demand. We considered the complete life cycle in a l...
