Carbon Footprint for Transportation Activities of An Institutional Campus
Abstract: Global climate change is the greatest concern nowadays, thus many companies and organizations are estimating the carbon footprint to assess their own contribution to the global temperature risings. Travel is a significant source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as, for each gallon of gasoline burnt, almost nine kilogram of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. With rapid urbanization, motorization remains one of the major options for transportation in the …

Think of Rural Energy Resources and Biorefineries
Abstract: With the growing population, global energy demand has also increased drastically. Energy demand of the emerging economies had almost 100% growth during last decade. However, energy consumption growth has been below average throughout the globe except North America (BPSR, 2014). Interestingly, the energy consumption of EU has reducing trend and last year it has been the lowest since 1995. The growing energy demand is linked environmental degradation contributing greenhouse gases …

Photovoltaic: Environmental, Health and Safety Issues
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) technologies have many environmental advantages over conventional technologies for generating electricity. The function of PV systems is silent one, without any toxic gas emissions, or greenhouse gases. PV electricity generation—apart from of which technology is used—is a zero-emissions performing practice. PV technology is very much related with the electronic industry where we can find a number of social impacts throughout the supply chain from raw material mining to …

The “Less Paper” Library and Its Effects on Environment, Economy and Efficiency
Abstract: AbstractDuring the last 40 years, people began talking about the option of a “paperless library”. The concept of electronic format has been emerging out, i.e., everything is available on the internet; everything is now in electronic form so there is no need of paper. It coincided with the advent of the personal computer, and the hope was that all documents could be processed electronically and that paper would become inappropriate. …

Evaluating the Influence of Catalyst and Temperature Effectiveness Factor on Reactor Performance for Direct Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate using Carbon Dioxide and Methanol
Abstract: In this research, the effectiveness of a packed bed reactor employing a nanorod ceria catalyst for the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and carbon dioxide (CO2) is assessed. In order to combat the growing CO2 levels, this study converted the greenhouse gas into dimethyl carbonate, a feedstock for green chemicals. In order to estimate the fractional conversion of methanol and DMC yield under different operating parameters, including …
