Immobilization of Carbonic Anhydrase: A Review
Abstract: Excessive levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) have a devastating effect on life and the environment. Due to increasing CO2 emissions, there are several carbon sequestration techniques that have been employed such as oceanic injection, geological injection, and scrubbing and carbonation which are expensive, prone to leakage and have limited efficiency. They also require careful regulation and monitoring. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient and cost-effective technique to combat …

Assessment of Environmental Impact of Power Generation in Banking Industry
Abstract: Energy consumption of using diesel generators to power banks is a contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This paper presents an assessment of environmental impact of power generation in banking. HOMER-optimization and simulation software tool was used to study the environmental impact of banks powered by diesel generators. The environmental impact of powering banks with diesel generators was assessed by quantifying the emissions generated in terms of pollution and 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 …

Harnessing Biogas from Cow(s) Flatulence
Abstract: AbstractIndia occupies almost 3% of the total geographic of the world, whereas it is the home to 18% world’s human population and 15% of the animal population, among them, the cattle population occupies around 11% of the total population of cattle in the world. The FAO estimates that 18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the livestock sector, in large part due to the methane emissions of livestock. …

Micro Level Mobility Intervention in Urban Spatial Structure in Reducing GHG Emissions: A Case of The City of Lucknow, Prayagraj and Varanasi
Abstract: In contemporary times, the Greenhouse Effect has emerged as a paramount concern in urban areas. With India undergoing rapid urbanization, cities are witnessing soaring temperatures. Greenhouse gas emissions are one of the main causes of the Greenhouse Effect. India stands among the highest emitters of GHGs, primarily stemming from the energy sector, particularly in electricity generation. The period from 2005 to 2018 saw a noteworthy surge in India's emissions, largely …

Algorithmic Ecology: A Framework for Achieving Carbon-Neutrality in Global Data Infrastructure
Abstract: The exponential growth of digital infrastructure has positioned data centers as critical enablers of the global digital economy, yet their environmental impact has become a paramount concern. Data centers consumed approximately 205 TWh globally in 2018, representing about 1% of global power usage with a steady 6% growth trend. This review synthesizes current literature on green algorithms and sustainable data center technologies, examining the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning …

The Effectiveness of Personal Carbon Trading for Sustainable Urban Development in Developing Nations: An Overview
Abstract: In recent decades, humankind has evolved much more rapidly than the ages. This evolution resulted in tremendous technological advancement and massive planetary degeneration. Enormous greenhouse gas emissions have resulted from the quick increase in energy and fossil fuel consumption patterns brought on by technological breakthroughs. Eventually, the scenario contributed to rising per capita carbon emissions manifolds, especially in highly populated cities. Reduced per capita carbon footprints are the goal of …

Methodology for Estimation of Direct and Indirect Carbon Footprint of Cement Industry
Abstract: The present study describes the methodology to estimate direct and indirect carbon footprint of cement industry using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Major construction element produced in almost all countries is cement and cement manufacturing process is an energy and carbon intensive process. Cement industry contributes about five percent of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Upto till date, indirect carbon footprint and fewer …
