“…As for the estimation of industrial resource and environmental efficiency, many scholars currently use ecological footprint method, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), life cycle method and decoupling model. For example, Cao et al (2022), Bibi et al (2022), Chishti et al (2021), Dagar et al (2022), Chandel et al (2022) used the SFA model to explore the energy efficiency of industrial sectors in India north. However, the method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has increasingly been adopted to measure the efficiency of industrial resources and environment.…”

From the perspective of production performance, energy supply are the basic material conditions. However, greenhouse gas, air pollution and waste water are also produced in the process of production. If the undesired characteristics are ignored in the process of performance evaluation, the production efficiency will be misestimated. Based on this, this study uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the undesired output, and discusses the production efficiency with thermal consumption in Chinese port cities, especially with severe shipping emissions, during 2015–2019. The empirical results show that the efficiency declines first (2015–2017) and then increases (2018–2019) when considering the undesired output of wastewater and SO2 generated by thermal consumption.

“…These issues led to a drive toward alternative energy resources such as renewable energies, which can generate clean and sustainable energy without significant environmental impacts 3,17,18 . The utilization of renewable energies can reduce CO 2 emissions and protect the environment 19 . However, utilizing renewable energies in an off‐grid system impose some constraints.…”

Off-grid renewable energy systems are a solution for power generation in areas where access to the grid is not possible or cost-effective; in particular, low population rural areas located far away from grid lines or in rugged terrains. Furthermore, over-reliance on fossil fuels for supplying global energy demand has led to the depletion of nonrenewable resources and environmental issues. This paper presents a feasibility assessment of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system for a remote rural area in Kohgiluye and Boyer-Ahmad Province in Iran. Regarding the available energy resources in the region, a photovoltaic (PV)-biomass energy system is considered. HOMER Pro software is utilized to find the optimized sizing of the PV-biomass system to fulfill this load demand. The objective function in this optimization is the system's total net present cost. Due to the rapid fluctuation of economic factors in the country, several rates of inflation and discount rate are considered to investigate their influence on the costs of the system. The optimization result for the current inflation rate of 40% and the discount rate of 18% in the country proposes a hybrid energy system consisting of a 3 kW biogas-fueled generator, 4.74 kW PV, 10 kWh battery, and 2.07 kW converter to meet the 2.64 kW peak load and 14.53 kWh/day consumption of the community. The total net present cost and cost of energy are $93,057 and 0.0933 $/kWh, respectively. Finally, the environmental assessment of the proposed hybrid system shows an annual CO 2 emission of 2.95 kg, which means 99.9% CO 2 emissions mitigation compared to a conventional coal-based electrical plant.

“…Furthermore, there is a variation in the physiochemical characteristics among the size of paper mills i.e., small and large paper mills. Table 2 summarizes the physio-chemical characteristics of small and large paper mills (Murshed et al, 2021a;Dagar et al, 2020b;Cao et al, 2022).…”

Paper mills generate large quantities of wastewater and sludge waste depending on the type of paper making processes employed. This poses several problems regarding wastewater treatment, discharge, and sludge disposal. Whenever wastewater is generated, it should be treated in wastewater treatment plants prior to being released to the environment since it can be polluting and dangerous. A study was conducted at Star Paper Mills Ltd. Saharanpur, UP to demonstrate the existing and advanced technologies for wastewater treatment. The mill uses woody raw materials such as eucalyptus, poplar, and veener chips to manufacture a wide range of industrial and cultural grade papers, such as absorbent kraft, maplitho, azure lay, and copier. We observed that the most common excess back water is from paper machines, bleach plant effluent, floor cleaning, and other sources of wastewater. High chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and low biodegradability are all characteristics of pulp and paper wastewater. Approximately 85–90% of the fresh water utilized is wasted. We examined the wastewater collected and evaluated from the paper mill by Central Pulp and Paper Research Institute (CPPRI). The Effluent treatment plant (ETP) at Star Paper Mills Ltd. is sufficient to facilitate satisfactory removal of suspended matter in clarifiers and oxidation of biodegradable organic matter in aeration tank. As a matter of fact, if the ETP is operated under optimal conditions, the aeration capacity is sufficient to effectively treat even higher BOD loads than the existing load.
