The steel industry is one of the heavy industries with significant global environmental impacts, and China, as the largest steel-producing country, holds representative significance for global sustainability in the steel production company. This study, based on data from China's largest steel company, quantitatively researched sustainability using a whole life cycle emergy approach and carbon footprint method from 2012 to 2022. The results indicate that, analyzing unit emergy values (UEVs) types, foundational UEVs are the lowest.

- The study examines the declining trend in Indian summer monsoon precipitation (ISMP) during the late 20th century, focusing on the impact of increased sulfate aerosols in South Asia.
- Using advanced climate modeling, the research analyzes how these aerosols affected ISMP during different climate events, specifically the 2010 La Niña (excess precipitation) and 2015 El Niño (deficit precipitation).
- Findings indicate that sulfate aerosols significantly reduce ISMP by cooling the atmosphere and affecting convection and moisture transport, highlighting the urgent need for cleaner energy solutions to mitigate these effects and better manage water resources in South Asia.
Role of local absorbing aerosols in modulating Indian summer monsoon rainfall.

Absorbing aerosols and their impact on the Indian monsoon system is highly complex and demands more scientific understanding. Our study using a chemistry-coupled regional climate model (RegCM 4.5) with idealized experiments observed that natural and anthropogenic absorbing aerosols (i.

Therefore, there is a necessity to evaluate the sustainability of the production system. In this study, the emergy method has been adopted to assess the flat building glass production in China based on raw material and chemical composition.

Past studies have derived inferences mostly based on local emissions and their impacts thereupon. However, more recent studies have shown that the remote effects driven by aerosols elsewhere could also impact the monsoon system on different time scales.
