“…Besides, whenever a field is a significant source of water pollution the SCC, in turn, would have to be very high before atmospheric externalities dominate water externalities (Sihvonen et al, 2021). In particular, it was also argued that GHG emissions and nitrogen and carbon leaching mitigation efforts can be primarily targeted at coarse soils rather than clay soils, because the marginal abatement costs are considerably lower for coarse soils (Sihvonen et al, 2021).…”

“…Moreover, another critical viewpoint of the aforementioned synergy is that developed among crop production, water pollution and climate change mitigation. In particular the developed synergies are determined between (a) climate change mitigation and water protection goals and, (b) a trade-off between pollution mitigation and crop production goals (Sihvonen et al, 2021 ). Whenever a field is a significant source of GHG emissions and an insignificant source of water pollution, atmospheric externalities are dominating over the water externalities, even for a relatively low social cost of carbon (SCC).…”

EU has set ambitious commitment to achieve low carbon energy and economy transition up to 2050. This low carbon transition means sustainable energy development path based on renewable energy sources and first of all should address the energy poverty vulnerability and justice issues. The main goal of the paper is to develop indicators framework for assessing low carbon just energy transition and to apply this framework for analysis how climate change mitigation policies in households targeting enhancement of energy renovation of residential buildings and promotion of the use of micro-generation technologies and other policies are affecting household’s energy poverty and vulnerability in selected countries: Lithuania and Greece. This framework allows to assess three main dimensions of sustainable energy development: environmental, social and economic. The paper provides policy recommendations how to deal with just low carbon energy transition which means addressing energy poverty issues during moving to 100% renewables in power generation based on performed case studies.

“…Nevertheless, livestock produces food-quality protein and fat from crops not otherwise used for food (Joensuu et al, 2019). Field trial-based European studies have also found that integrating fertilisation with organic amendment applications led to consistently higher agronomic performance than crops treated with only one or the other Sihvonen et al, 2021). This approach has also been applied to farming systems in the developing world (Abid et al, 2020;Qazi & Khan, 2020), particularly in the cultivation of rice in which substantial improvements to crop performance and quality have been obtained through combining synthetic N additions with K inputs (Ye et al, 2021), retention and reincorporation of residues (Tang et al, 2021).…”

Effect of Urea Addition on Anatase Phase Enrichment and Nitrogen Doping of TiO2 for Photocatalytic Abatement of Methylene Blue

et al. 2021

TiO2-based materials are commonly employed as photocatalysts for industrial wastewater treatment. The primary reasons of employing TiO2 include cost effectiveness, ready availability, eco-friendliness, non-toxic behavior, and exceptional resistance towards photo-corrosion. However, the wider band gap of pure TiO2 restricts its performance because of its optical absorption of solar light to the ultraviolet (UV) region only, and to some extent of photo-excited charge recombination. In the present work an attempt is made to develop a facile synthesis approach by using urea, a cheap chemical precursor, to form nitrogen doped TiO2 with the key objective of extended light absorption and thus enhanced photocatalytic performance. It was also observed that the urea-induced anatase phase enrichment of TiO2 is another key factor in promoting the photocatalytic performance. The photocatalysts prepared by varying the amount of urea as a nitrogen dopant precursor, are characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) to evaluate their crystallinity, morphology, functional groups, and charge separation properties, respectively. Moreover, the surface area was also estimated by physicochemical adsorption. The maximum nitrogen-doped sample yielded >99% photodegradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) dye-simulated wastewater as compared to a pure TiO2 sample which exhibited 6.46% efficiency. The results show that the simultaneous factors of nitrogen doping and anatase phase enhancement contributes significantly towards the improvement of photocatalytic performance.
