“…Its instrument "promote development-oriented policies" was target by five papers whose main concerns were about the technological upgrading and innovation of the transport sector [23,26,44,56,57]. Lastly, the instrument "implement resource efficiency programs" was only targeted by three papers in reference to the need for investment in resource efficiency [12,27,69].…”

“…The ideal "access to modern energy" was mainly targeted because all papers consider biofuels and electric mobility as types of modern energies, but no paper addressed the universal access to modern, affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy in the transport sector. From the total of the 56 papers that had scored on the SDG7, 22 also scored for the ideal "increase renewable energy" by arguing for the need to increase the share of renewable energy in the RFT sector [12,52,55] by improving the sector's energy efficiency [8,46,56] and by developing renewable energy production, including in hybrid systems [17,36,41].…”

“…In the same way, the scientific community has been studying and evaluating the use of different types of fuel technologies to be used in RFT to reach better performance and to reduce costs and emissions. Renewable fuels have been studied in several countries such as the case of biodiesel from different feedstock such as sunflower oil, canola oil, waste cooking oil, cottonseed, pomegranate seed, and others [10][11][12][13]. More alternative energy carriers such as hydrogen [14,15], renewable diesel [16], biogas [17], and natural gas [18][19][20][21] have also been studied to evaluate pollutant emissions and impacts on heavy-duty engines characteristics.…”

Road Freight Transport Literature and the Achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals—A Systematic Review

Considering the importance of the road freight transport sector on the sustainability debate, the purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the road freight transport literature to provide key information on the role that this field of knowledge must play in contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To accomplish this, we performed a state-of-the-art review via systematic literature on 86 documents published during 2015–2020, with an emphasis on environmental, economic, and technical studies. Ultimately, this paper seeks to uncover research gaps and to suggest means in which the freight transport literature and the 17 SDGs may be faced by this field in future studies. the results showed that the SDGs were not target by the analyzed papers, and the sustainable development goals were not quoted at all. The only SDG fully contemplated was number 7—affordable and clean energy. The findings of this study suggest that this field should add research of SDGs 2, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 17 as priority areas to be further developed by the RFT literature to achieve SDGs goals.

“…NOx emissions are a result of the combustion process and are directly related to high combustion temperatures [88]. Different factors can contribute to NOx formation, such as residence time [89], ignition delay [90], and cetane number [91]. In large cities, vehicles are generally the primary source of this gas emission, and one of the concerns about NOx formation is that this pollutant is a precursor to other pollutants, as in particulate matter (PM).…”

Assessment of Greenhouse Gases and Pollutant Emissions in the Road Freight Transport Sector: A Case Study for São Paulo State, Brazil

et al. 2020

This study analyzes the road freight sector of São Paulo state to identify the best options to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and local pollutants, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons. Additionally, the investment cost of each vehicle is also analyzed. Results show that electric options, including hybrid, battery, and hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles represent the best options to reduce pollutants and greenhouse gases emissions concomitantly, but considerable barriers for their deployment are still in place. With little long-term planning on the state level, electrification of the transport system, in combination with increased renewable electricity generation, would require considerable financial support to achieve the desired emissions reductions without increasing energy insecurity.

“…Therefore, cottonseed oil has more advantages in view of yield and price than other vegetable oils. Currently, the explorations for cottonseed oil are concentrated on the development of biodiesel with lower environmental pollution, lower production costs and greater safety [21][22][23][24], whereas polysulfide-derived polymers based on cottonseed oil and derivatives are rarely reported on. It is highly desirable to design and prepare value-added functional polymer composites with cottonseed oil and its derivatives.…”

Design and Preparation of Polysulfide Flexible Polymers Based on Cottonseed Oil and Its Derivatives

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Polysulfide-derived polymers with a controllable density and mechanical strength were designed and prepared successfully using bio-based cottonseed oil (CO) and its derivatives, including fatty acid of cottonseed oil (COF) and sodium soap of cottonseed oil (COS). The reaction features of CO, COF and COS for polysulfide polymers were investigated and compared. Based on the free radical addition mechanism, COF reacts with sulfur to generate serials of polysulfide-derived polymers. COF strongly influences the density and tensile strength of these polymer composites. Whereas COS was not involved in the reaction with sulfur, as a filler, it could increase the density and tensile strength of polysulfide-derived polymers. Moreover, the results showed that these samples had an excellent reprocessability and recyclability. These polysulfide-based polymers, with an adjustable density and mechanical strength based on CO and derivatives, could have potential applications as bio-based functional supplementary additives.
