“…Trading of GMO products in Namibia as regulated by the Biosafety labelling regulations is affected by various contextual and administrative challenges such as poor regulatory frameworks. GMOs are widely available across the world, but they are also contentious and susceptible to regulatory scrutiny in terms of mandatory versus voluntary GMO labelling (Bullock and Desquilbet, 2002;Bhalerao and Kadam, 2010;Buah et al, 2021). Thus, different countries have developed and are implementing different GMO labeling policies to inform consumer choice if imported from countries with different percentage threshold levels of GMOs and labelling requirements.…”

The study was carried out to investigate the implications of the Namibian biosafety regulations on Namibian food and feed importers. After the Biosafety Act, 2006 (Act No. 7 of 2006), the biosafety regulation was gazetted in 2016, which saw the implementation of the national framework, the impact of food and feed importers was not known. The objective of the study was to assess the adoption and application of the national biosafety labelling regulations by food and feed importers. In addition, the impacts of these regulations on Namibian food and feed importers were assessed. The study used a structured online and hard copy survey questionnaire based on responses from 340 Namibian importers of food and feed products from eight identified Namibian regions: Khomas, Erongo, Kavango West, Kavango East, Omusati, Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, and Zambezi who have the knowledge required for the adoption and application of the Namibian biosafety labelling regulations. Using the Mann-Whitney test, the study confirmed that individuals who are aware of the biosafety Act, 2006 (Act No. 7 of 2006) are less likely to agree with statements such as experiencing problems in fulfilling requirements under the biosafety regulations. It was further concluded that there is a need to reduce the current administrative burdens for handling applications and improve dialogue between regulators and the food and feed importing industry while increasing the competence of regulators and creating more labelling regulation awareness for food and feed importers. The study further suggests that public awareness is required beyond food and feed importers.

“…The Chinese government attaches great importance to and actively responds to it and puts forward the grand goal of 'strive to reach the peak of CO 2 emissions by 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060' (Editorial Department of China energy, 2020). To achieve the goal of carbon neutralization, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is the final bottom technology after industry, transportation, construction, and other industries reach the maximum emission reduction target (Ahmadi et al, 2020;Buah et al, 2021;Diao Y J et al, 2021;Li et al, 2019;Qi et al, 2013;Lu et al, 2021a;Wei and Peng, 2013;Xu et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2008;Qin et al, 2020;Vulin et al, 2020).…”

Carbon dioxide geological storage is one of the important means to mitigate the greenhouse effect and curb global warming. The key to carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage is to select a suitable storage site. Using the geological analysis method and analytic hierarchy process (AHP)–fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, combining the qualitative analysis of geological conditions with the quantitative calculation of site parameters, this study determines a site target area suitable for CO2 geological storage in Tianjin. First, the regional crustal stability of Tianjin is discussed, and the characteristics of regional gravity field anomaly, regional crustal thickness, and regional aeromagnetic characteristics are comprehensively analyzed. The site is focused on Banqiao sag, a class ⅳ tectonic unit in Bohai Bay Basin. Second, aiming at the storability, safety, and economy of the site, the expert investigation method is used to construct the target area evaluation index system, including four primary indexes and ten secondary indexes. The weight of each index is determined using the analytic hierarchy process. A two-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation mathematical model is constructed. The suitability of CO2 geological storage in three sites (site A, site B, and site C) in Banqiao sag is evaluated. The results are as follows: the comprehensive membership of site A, site B, and site C is 0.8629, 0.3926 and 0.1750, respectively. The comprehensive membership of site A is the largest. The evaluation results show that the preferred target area of Tianjin local carbon dioxide geological storage site is located in ‘site A’ near Dazhangtuo fault in Banqiao sag, Huanghua depression, Bohai Bay Basin (with an area of about 5 km2). In this study, a suitable target area is delineated for the local CO2 geological storage site in Tianjin, which can be used as an advantageous location for CO2 geological storage. The conclusion has a positive response to the problem of CO2 emission reduction in Tianjin.
