“…Other studies compare the environmental impact of biomass briquettes in comparison to fossil energy [15]. Biomass briquette is found to be more economically viable and able to reduce CO2 emissions [5]. The study conducted by Sulaiman [16] on 27 European Union (EU) countries, reinforces this finding by emphasizing that biomass energy can reduce CO2 emissions better than fossil energy.…”

The increasing demand for energy and the decreasing availability of fossil fuel reserves necessitate the exploration of alternative solutions. Biomass waste, particularly abundant in countries like Indonesia, presents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy alternative by reducing CO2 emissions. Transforming waste into a more valuable product is crucial, accompanied by an assessment of its ecological consequences. Nevertheless, the recycling procedure often still consumes materials and energy. Previous research on evaluating the environmental consequences of recycling organic waste into briquettes remains limited. This investigation is focused on analyzing the environmental effects of the recycling process for converting fuel husk waste into briquettes. The study was conducted using burnt husk waste generated from the energy production process through husk burning in tofu manufacturing.

“…Biomass briquettes have a lower carbon footprint and surpass alternative cooking fuels such as wood in heat output per unit mass, moisture content, and storage space. Just like Bonsu et al [67] observed, appropriate briquette use would help mitigate climate change impacts by reducing the over-reliance on wood for household and commercial heating.…”

The several furniture-making phases, from cutting to processing to polishing, produce a significant volume of sawdust of differing grades. The extraction and disposal of such waste in developing countries with no established or sustainable methods is an increasing problem, frequently posing environmental challenges. Sawdust is one of the most underused wood waste portions, with mounds dispersed around the region, detracting from its visual appeal and causing other ecological concerns. This study investigated potential applications of sawdust as it concerns sustainable development. It sought to employ an extensive systematic literature review to establish that sawdust, which is often a nuisance at sawmills, may be put to beneficial uses. Four cardinal focus areas of this study are (i) energy generation, (ii) environmental protection/pollution containment, (iii) building construction, and (iv) water treatment/supply. Specifically, the study dealt with the feasibility of energy generation from sawdust through sawdust cook stoves, briquetting, and pyrolysis; pollution containment through sawdust-derived adsorbent; affordable building construction through sawdust-based ceiling boards and particles boards; and (iv) water treatment using point of use (PoU) sawdust-clay water filter. Based on over two hundred (200) published papers consulted in this study, it was strongly established that sawdust had found successful wide application in all four thematic areas with strategic connection to the objectives of SDGs 3.0, 6.0, 7.0, 9.0, 11.0 and 12.0. This research believes that emphasis on sustainable sawdust management can help transform the over 1.5 million tonnes of sawdust waste burned or dumped indiscriminately into value-added products each year.

Direct and Indirect Carbon Emission from Household Consumption Based on LMDI and SDA Model: A Decomposition and Comparison Analysis

et al. 2022

Household consumption has become an important field of carbon dioxide emissions. Urban–rural disparity in the household carbon emissions (HCEs) of residents and their influencing factors are relevant to HCE reduction. Taking Fujian as the study area, the LMDI and SDA models were used to analyze the effects of influencing factors for the direct household carbon emissions (DHCEs) and indirect carbon emissions (IHCEs) of urban and rural residents from 2006 to 2018. The HCEs continue to rise, approximately 65% from the IHCEs in 2017, and urban areas occupied 67% in 2018. The gap between urban and rural per capita HCEs is narrowing. In 2017, approximately 75% of urban per capita HCEs came from the IHCEs, while the per capita DHCEs’ occupation exceeded the IHCEs in rural areas. Per capita consumption expenditure has the largest positive effect on the DHCEs and IHCEs in urban and rural areas. With the urbanization process, the inhibition effect of rural DHCEs is larger than the positive effect of the urban DHCEs, while the positive impact on urban areas is more substantial than on rural areas in the IHCEs. Combined with regional differences, urban and rural areas should take “common but differentiated” emission reduction responsibilities.
