“…Lee et al [38] found the efficiency of total emissions is higher than that of direct emissions except for the shipbuilding industry. Almeida and Terra [39] presented that the innovation context can influence the development of enterprises, through a variety of factors, such as the institutional environment, the characteristics of the economic sector, sustainability management and established networks that affect the decision making and growth of the companies.…”

Sustainability is an important issue in the 21st century. Although there are a high number of publications, some areas are still untouched, like sustainability concepts in shipyards. This paper aims to explore the literature of the sustainability concept in the shipbuilding industry and to propose a further research outline. The impact of green supply chain practices (GSCM) on three sustainability performance-economic, environmental and social performance-will be also examined. A systematic literature review is applied between 1980 and 2020 using Scopus and Web of Science databases. After eliminating duplicates, unrelated articles, a total of 27 articles were identified. The analysis shows that there is not much research on the shipyard's sustainability and the green supply chain practices impact on the economic, environmental and social performance. One article examined the relations of green supply chain readiness, customer requirements, governmental involvement, social responsibility and competitive advantage to the willingness to participate in green supply chain management initiatives in the suppliers of two big shipyards. The other one examined which of the sustainable development goals collaborate with the maritime industry based on publicly published corporate social responsibility and sustainable development reports. Both studies do not focus on green supply chain practices as a performance evaluation of the three sustainable dimensions in a shipyard. In addition, there are dissertations in Turkey, which examined green supply chain practices and their impacts on the environmental, social and economic performance in the manufacturing, packaging companies, finding significance positive relations. As a result, we found that few studies examined the sustainability of shipyards, this study will fill the literature gap being one of the first study on this subject and contributing to the emerging shipyards sustainability literature.

“…To assess the environmental effect of MCH dehydrogenation in an MR compared to the a conventional PBR, CFA was conducted based on the results of the techno-economic analysis. The carbon footprint is classified according to the types of processes as follows; direct carbon emissions from controlled processes like chemical reactions or heater and indirect carbon emissions from uncontrolled processes such as electricity consumed in the compressor [59]. In this study, for both a PBR and an MR, CO 2 emissions from the dehydrogenation reactor and heater (direct carbon emission) and compressor (indirect carbon emission) were considered in CFA.…”

As the global trend towards transition to a "hydrogen society" continues to gain momentum, a lot of studies on alternative hydrogen (H 2 ) production methods are on the rise. Among them, methylcyclohexane (MCH) dehydrogenation in a membrane reactor (MR) is reported here as one possible candidate, affording its enhanced H 2 yield and a compact design. In this study, techno-economic analysis and carbon footprint analysis (CFA) of MCH dehydrogenation in an MR are carried out to investigate economic and environmental feasibility providing techno-economic and environmental guidelines for realizing it as mature technology. The economic parameters are determined through process simulation using Aspen Plus®, and the unit H 2 production costs are obtained for a packed-bed reactor (PBR) and an MR in H 2 production capacities of 30, 100, 300, and 700 m 3 h − 1 . The effects of each economic parameter on the unit H 2 production cost are identified through sensitivity analysis (SA) and scenario analysis is performed under various conditions to investigate the effects of technical parameters of the membrane, such as the H 2 production capacity, temperature, and H 2 permeance on the unit H 2 production costs. CFA is also performed to investigate the environmental feasibility of MCH dehydrogenation in an MR by considering CO 2 emissions at each part.

“…However, if the ICT industry is the industry that causes environmental pollution due to high CO 2 emissions, then the ICT industry cannot be said to be a sustainable industry. Therefore, many researchers are continuing research to measure CO 2 emissions of each country and CO 2 emissions of major industries in order to find industries with less environmental pollution [33,[35][36][37][38][39]. Loefgren and Muller [35] studied the relationship between energy use efficiency and carbon emissions and suggested a plan to improve carbon emission efficiency as an effective method to reduce carbon emission.…”

“…Zhou et al [36] used DEA to estimate the CO 2 emission efficiency of OECD countries. Jaeger et al [39] concluded that low-carbon-based growth is optimistic for economic growth and job creation in their research Lee et al [38] conducted a study to measure the productivity of the Korean manufacturing industry based on CO 2 emissions. Moon et al [37] analyzed linkage effects of all Korean industries from 2005 to 2015 in a time series to derive eco-friendly industries with high linkage effects.…”

This study examined the relationship among carbon dioxide emissions and linkage effects using Input–Output (IO) data of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry between South Korea and the USA. As we wanted to find out if the ICT industry, which the world is passionate about, is a sustainable industry. The linkage effects are analyzed to determine the impact of ICT industry on the national economy, and CO₂ emissions of the industry are analyzed to determine how much influence it has on air pollution. In addition, we classify ICT industry by ICT service and manufacturing industries as the key industries in Korea and the US. Data were collected from OECD ranging from 2006 to 2015 in order to quantitatively estimate backward linkage, forward linkage effect, and carbon dioxide emissions. The results indicated that ICT manufacturing industry in Korea has high backward and forward linkage effects. CO₂ emissions from ICT service is more than from ICT manufacturing in both Korea and the US. We wanted to find out if the ICT industry, which the world is passionate about, is a sustainable industry. As a contribution, ICT manufacturing and service industries in Korea and the United States are directly compared, and CO₂ emissions over 10 years are analyzed in a time series.
