“…The actions undertaken mainly concern the improvement of production processes, the modernization of devices and buildings, and the introduction of new technologies. Industrial energy efficiency programs have become one of the most popular government policies aimed at reducing energy consumption in energy-intensive industries [11,12]. In 2015-2018, the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Poland allocated approximately 510 billion EUR to activities increasing energy efficiency.…”

In the 21st century, it is becoming increasingly clear that human activities and the activities of enterprises affect the environment. Therefore, it is important to learn about the methods in which companies minimize the negative effects of their activities. The article presents the steps taken and innovative actions carried out by enterprises in the energy sector. The article analyzes innovative activities undertaken and implemented by enterprises from the energy sector. The relationships between innovative strategies, including, inter alia, digitization, and Industry 4.0 solutions, in the development of companies and the achieved results concerning sustainable development and environmental impact. Digitization has far exceeded traditional productivity improvement ranges of 3–5% per year, with a clear cost improvement potential of well above 25%. Enterprises on a large scale make attempts to increase energy efficiency by implementing the state-of-the-art innovative technical and technological solutions, which increase reliability and durability (material and mechanical engineering). Digitization of energy companies allows them to reduce operating costs and increases efficiency. With digital advances, the useful life of an energy plant can be increased up to 30%. Advanced technologies, blockchain, and the use of intelligent networks enables the activation of prosumers in the electricity market. Reducing energy consumption in industry and at the same time increasing energy efficiency for which the European Union is fighting in the clean air package for all Europeans have a positive impact on environmental protection, sustainable development, and the implementation of the decarbonization program.

“…DG tends to promote the sustainability level of the system via reusing its plastic medication containers and investing in research and development (R&D) activities with an eco-friendly perspective (green R&D). Green issues have gained strong worldwide attention ( Safarzadeh et al, 2020a , Safarzadeh and Rasti-Barzoki, 2019a ), and R&D investment is a significant decision variable in the pharmaceutical sector. In the United States, the ratio of R&D investment to sales revenue in the pharmaceutical industry is five times more than the average in all sectors ( Nouri et al, 2018 ).…”

Uncertainty in real-world situations disrupts operations, including the collection process in closed-loop supply chains (CLSCs). A collection disruption is more critical in the pharmaceutical sector since pharmaceutical leftovers contain chemicals that threaten the environment and human health. This paper revolves around the challenges of a real pharmaceutical case that implements circular economy principles through a closed-loop system design, takes sustainability issues into account, and seeks for effective management of collection disruption. The case includes a manufacturer, who invests in green research and development (R&D), and two retailers competing on corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to boost the collection amount and market demand. This competitive environment raises conflict of interests and complicates the interactions between members, which need to be neutralized by an appropriate coordination plan. This paper proposes an analytical scenario-based coordination model that resolves channel conflicts and pays dividends to the involving members through augmenting their social, economic, and environmental performance. We show that the coordination plan could be a practical policy to increase the system’s adaptability to disruption. Under the coordinated model, by increasing a retailer’s collection disruption, the other one invests more in CSR efforts to compensate for its competitor’s lower collection, preventing loss for the whole channel. We also demonstrate that the proposed model maintains the chain’s balance and prevents loss in case of a highly competitive CSR-based collection and boosts the collection amount, market demand, and the whole chain’s profitability simultaneously.

ÖZET Son yıllarda, tüm dünyada artan enerji ihtiyacının karşılanması ve çevresel sorunların çözümü için yenilenebilir kaynakların kullanımı giderek artmaktadır. Türkiye'de yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımını arttırmak ve enerji bağımlılığını azaltmak için çeşitli çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu sebeple, Türkiye'deki alternatif enerji kaynağı arayışı biyogaz enerjisi üretiminin de yaygınlaşmasına sebep olmuştur. Özellikle tarım ve hayvancılığa uygun olan alanlarda oluşan organik atıklardan biyogaz enerji üretimini arttırmak için çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu bölgelerde bitkisel ve hayvansal atıkların biyogaz enerji üretiminde kullanılması toplam enerji tüketiminin azaltılmasına ve atık yönetimine katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin İç Anadolu Bölgesi'nde yer alan Çankırı İl'inin biyogaz enerji potansiyeli ve kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Genellikle tarım ve hayvancılık sektörünün geliştiği, sanayileşme oranının düşük olduğu Çankırı İl'inde hayvansal atıklardan elde edilebilir biyogaz enerji potansiyeli belirlenmiştir. Biyokimyasal metan üretim potansiyeli (BMP) ve elektrik üretimine katkısı hesaplanarak her bir ilçe için ayrı ayrı bölgesel harita ve grafikleri oluşturularak biyogaz enerji potansiyeli analizi yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, biyogaz üretiminden elde edilecek elektrik geliri ve CO2 emisyon değerleri de hesaplanmıştır.
