LCA-emergy and carbon footprint analysis in a steel industry reporting system: A case study of a Chinese steel company.

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.

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.

Ecological sustainability assessment of building glass industry in China based on the point of view of raw material emergy and chemical composition.

Severe environmental destruction is being driven by excessive resource consumption in the industrial production process. 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.

Response of Indian summer monsoon rainfall to remote carbonaceous aerosols at short time scales: Teleconnections and feedbacks.

The effect of atmospheric aerosols on Indian monsoon is one of the scientifically challenging and societally relevant research issues of the recent decades. 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.

Investigation of June 2020 giant Saharan dust storm using remote sensing observations and model reanalysis.

This paper investigates the characteristics and impact of a major Saharan dust storm during June 14th-19th 2020 on atmospheric radiative and thermodynamics properties over the Atlantic Ocean. The event witnessed the highest ever aerosol optical depth for June since 2002. The satellites and high-resolution model reanalysis products well captured the origin and spread of the dust storm.

Investigation of Black Carbon characteristics over southern ocean: Contribution of fossil fuel and biomass burning.

Black Carbon (BC) is an absorbing aerosol which has significant impact on the Earth - Atmosphere radiation balance and hence on climate. The variation of BC mass concentration and contribution of fossil fuel and biomass burning have been investigated over the Indian ocean sector of the Southern Ocean during austral summer. BC mass was in the range of 300-500 ng m between 23.
