“…The global textiles and apparel sector is a massive contributor to the climate predicament, and plummeting its effect is a necessity. The sector produces approximately 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, more emissions than the freight and aviation industries combined (Peng et al, 2022;Ütebay et al, 2020). Consistent with a 2021 World Economic Forum report, the sector ranks third amongst eight (8) supply chains responsible for 50% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.…”

Purpose: The study assessed empirically how production and consumer behaviour can instigate the reduction of carbon footprint in the textiles and apparel industry to promote sustainable development. Methodology: The study was predominantly qualitative with a sample size of 15 textiles and apparel manufacturers managers/owners were selected purposively from three regions of Ghana. Findings: The results suggest that respondents hardly employ any strategy to facilitate environmental sustainability. Even though they are aware of the concept of carbon footprint, they lack the basic techniques to assess their environmental performance in terms of sustainability. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study can significantly contribute to policy and practice in Ghana and elsewhere by shaping regulatory frameworks, encouraging sustainable business practices, enhancing education and training, guiding EIAs, and fostering consumer awareness.

“…During these studies, it has been observed that energy efficiency and power saving directly contribute to these goals. It has been stated that reducing the carbon emissions of the energy system is essential to reducing the emission of textile products [2]. By following the total production planning, the total carbon footprint for the year 2018 was calculated and analyzed.…”

The effect of industrialization and technological developments and the rate of population growth have begun to disrupt the ecological balance in the world. A large share of the deterioration of this balance is due to the rapidly increasing energy demands of people. Fossil fuels and renewable energy sources are used to obtain the energy that is needed by human beings. Most of the world’s energy needs are met by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources, which we call fossil fuels, cause many parallel environmental problems, such as global warming, climate change, and carbon emissions, for the world and nature. The most affected by all these experiences, of course, is the entire production sector, which is dependent on energy. However, textile and apparel, which is a pioneer in taking steps towards harmonization with the Green Agreement, is one of the sectors that started the transition to green energy within the scope of the European Union and brands’ net-zero targets. Within the scope of the Green Agreement, Turkey has participated and started to work for a 70% carbon reduction, which is the target for 2030, and carbon neutrality, which is the target for 2050. Therefore, within the scope of these targets, the textile sector of Çukurova Region, which has the highest export rate in Turkey, was chosen. Within the scope of this study, carbon emission, which is one of the global problems, was examined within the framework of the ISO 14067-ISO Product Based Carbon Footprint (CF) standard by examining the production of a textile company, and the results were analyzed in detail. The main innovation of this article is to follow all stages of the fabric called Tricia, which is the most produced product in the textile industry, from its entry as fiber to its exit as fabric in the factory, and to calculate and analyze the amount of carbon that is released into nature. The dynamic and experimental results showed that it was determined that 6.00 tons of carbon dioxide carbon were released in the time it took for the fabric to go to the sewing room as a fabric.

“…However, in the context of global energy scarcity, achieving the "dual carbon" goal is a transformative goal for the development of new energy. 1,2 According to the national grid connection standards GB/T14549 and IEEE1547, 3,4 the total harmonic distortion (THD) of electrical energy injected into the power grid must be less than 5%. However, because of the existence of nonlinear factors such as the dead time effect, switching tube conduction voltage drop, and grid voltage fluctuations in grid-connected inverter systems, it is difficult for inverters to maintain good performance; thus, the research on inverters is of great significance.…”

The grid-connected inverter is the key to ensure stable, reliable, safe, and efficient operation of the power generation system; the quality of the grid-connected output current waveform directly affects the performance of the entire power generation system. To improve the anti-interference performance and reduce the output current harmonic content of the grid-connected inverter, an improved control strategy that combined repetitive control (RC) and auto disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is designed in this paper. Firstly, decoupled the ADRC to realize the individual adaptation between tracking performance parameters and anti-interference performance parameters of the controller, through which the difficulty of adjusting parameters is reduced. Secondly, the control approach is devised by adding RC to ADRC. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in this paper, detailed experimental studies are conducted using proportional integral control, traditional ADRC, and the proposed method under normal power grids, weak power grids, and periodic disturbances. And dynamic performance simulation experiment is done to verify the dynamic performance of the self-disturbance rejection controller before and after the addition of RC links. The results indicated the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method. Finally, after simulation, the steady state and dynamic performance are conducted on a hardware testing platform. The impacts of the obtained results indicate the effectiveness and feasibility of the control algorithm proposed, the ability to suppress intermediate frequency disturbances is improved, the bandwidth of the auto disturbance rejection controller is expanded, and the harmonic content of the output current is depressed.
