Optimization of energy required and greenhouse gas emissions analysis for orange producers using data envelopment analysis approach

Gate to gate life cycle assessment of flat pressed particleboard production in Islamic Republic of Iran

“…The electricity profile is of major importance as it broadly affects the environmental impacts associated with energy consumption in the process (Rivela et al, 2006a). The electricity generation profile of Iran was taken into account (78% from fossil fuels (99% natural gas), 1.90% from nuclear plants, 20.25% from hydroelectric plants and 0.23% from other renewable resources) (Nabavi-Pelesaraei et al, 2014;Ministry of Energy, 2014). The thermal energy consumed in the PB manufacturing process was prepared from natural gas and diesel fuel as an alternative.…”

Carbon footprint of China's livestock system – a case study of farm survey in Sichuan province, China

“…EF F , EF E and EF L are emission factors respectively of fuel, electricity and labor which were shown in Table S2. Labor use is an important input in agricultural production of China and some developing countries with a large farm population; therefore, the GHG emissions from labor use were calculated according to the previous studies (Li et al, 2009;Chen et al, 2011;Nabavi-Pelesaraei et al, 2014).…”

Pathways to Improve Energy Efficiency and Minimize Environmental Footprints of GHG Emission of Energy Inputs Used in Cowpea Production in Niger State of Nigeria

“…In the literature review, studies which applied DEA to investigate GHG emission reduction in agricultural units in different countries on crop production and animal husbandry are few, and examples of such studies are Komleh et al [12], Komleh et al [13], Khoshnevisan et al [5], Khoshnevisan et al [6], Soni et al [19], Pelesaraei et al [9], Kordkheili et al [14], Sadiq et al [16], Sadiq et al [15], Sadiq et al [17], Onuk et al [11], Singh and Mukhi [18], Carvalho et al [7] and Kyei et al [20].…”
