In this study 315 peer-reviewed studies on environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) of
waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies were critically analysed. The technologies considered …

Application of sustainability principles to mining is inherently challenging, as mining is the
act of removing and consuming a limited resource. However, consideration of sustainability …

Radiative cooling (RC) can provide free cooling by emitting radiative heat into outer space.
This article presents the effects of solar radiation, non-radiative heat gains, atmospheric …

Energy is a key driver of the modern economy, therefore modeling and simulation of energy
