“…Third, the proportion of annual coal consumption to total energy consumption is used to characterize the energy structure effect. China’s main energy structure is dominated by coal, which is also the main source of China’s environmental pollution problems [ 74 ]. More coal consumption results in greater environmental pollution, which may increase the ecological footprint.…”

Innovation is an important motivating force for regional sustainable development. This study measures the innovation efficiency of 280 cities in China from 2014–2018 using the super-efficiency slack-based measure and it also analyzes its impact on the ecological footprint using the generalized spatial two-stage least squares (GS2SLS) method and uses the threshold regression model to explore the threshold effect of innovation efficiency on the ecological footprint at different economic development levels. We find the corresponding transmission mechanism by using a mediating effect model. The major findings are as follows. First, we find an inverse U-shaped relationship between innovation efficiency and the ecological footprint for cities across China as well as in the eastern and central regions. That is, innovation efficiency promotes then suppresses the ecological footprint. Conversely, in western and northeastern China, improvements in innovation efficiency still raise the ecological footprint. Second, for the entire country, as economic development increases from below one threshold value (4.4928) to above another (4.8245), the elasticity coefficient of innovation efficiency to the ecological footprint changes from −0.0067 to −0.0313. This indicates that the ability of innovation efficiency improvements to reduce the ecological footprint is gradually enhanced with increased economic development. Finally, the industrial structure, the energy structure, and energy efficiency mediate the impacts of innovation efficiency on the ecological footprint.

“…Rice straw (RS) is a by-product after rice grain collection. This lignocellulosic waste has been promoted as a potential feedstock for ethanol production in Thailand and other Asian countries due to its ready availability, abundance, and the fact that it is nonfood [3,4]. This material is an excellent source of sugars for microbial fermentation owing to the presence of carbohydrates that are concentrated in the cell walls [5].…”

Rice straw (RS) is an abundant, readily available agricultural waste, which shows promise as a potential feedstock for Asian ethanol production. To enhance release of glucose by enzymatic hydrolysis, RS was pretreated with aqueous ammonia (27% w/w) at two pretreatment temperatures: room temperature and 60 ∘ C. Statistical analysis indicated similarity of enzymatic glucose production at both pretreatment temperatures after 3-day incubation. Chemical composition, FTIR, and EDX analyses confirmed the retention of glucan and xylan in the pretreated solid, but significant reduction of lignin (60.7% removal) and silica. SEM analysis showed the disorganized surfaces and porosity of the pretreated RS fibers, thus improving cellulose accessibility for cellulase. The crystallinity index increased from 40.5 to 52.3%, indicating the higher exposure of cellulose. With 10% (w/v) solid loadings of pretreated RS, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation yielded a final ethanol concentration of 24.6 g/L, corresponding to 98% of maximum theoretical yield. Taken together, aqueous ammonia pretreatment is an effective method to generate highly digestible pretreated RS for bioethanol production and demonstrates potential application in biorefinery industry.

“…The capital cost of an optimised straw-fired power plant in Punjab was found to be as high as USD 13 million, and its practical implementation would necessitate appropriate tariff rate adjustment, supporting incentives and policies and biomass management cost adjustment [92]. Besides, seasonal pattern of harvesting activities and unestablished collection system [93] might result in uncertainties in biomass resource availability, and subsequently a sudden surge in biomass feedstock price [94]. Alternatively, large cultivation footprint and extensive farming activities would be required for supporting continuous operation of these technologies [95].…”
