“…In this case, a sense of respect for the environment is built through individual character, especially students. It is hoped that tree-planting activities can benefit the surrounding environment and reduce global warming [10], thereby creating a comfortable environment for all creatures, whether humans, animals or plants.…”

“…Carbon dioxide emissions, a primary contributor to greenhouse gases (Osman et al 2021a ), are the dominant driver of climate change on a worldwide scale (Kang et al 2020 ). Global emissions must be drastically reduced to avoid the worst effects of climate change (Osman et al 2023b ). Moreover, carbon dioxide emissions have a linear relationship with the increase in global temperature rise, accounting for the vast majority of all greenhouse gas emissions (Bacenetti et al 2013 ).…”

The rise of global waste and the decline of fossil fuels are calling for recycling waste into energy and materials. For example, rice straw, a by-product of rice cultivation, can be converted into biogas and by-products with added value, e.g., biofertilizer, yet processing rice straw is limited by the low energy content, high ash and silica, low nitrogen, high moisture, and high-quality variability. Here, we review the recycling of rice straw with focus on the global and Chinese energy situations, conversion of rice straw into energy and gas, biogas digestate management, cogeneration, biogas upgrading, bioeconomy, and life cycle assessment. The quality of rice straw can be improved by pretreatments, such as baling, ensiling, and co-digestion of rice straw with other feedstocks. The biogas digestate can be used to fertilize soils. The average annual potential energy of collectable rice straw, with a lower heating value of 15.35 megajoule/kilogram, over the past ten years (2013–2022) could reach 2.41 × 109 megajoule.

“…Recently, the topic of global warming has been resonating more and more strongly in the media. Many scientists and politicians have tried to propose strategies to improve or at least maintain the status quo (see, e.g., [1][2][3][4]). The impact of global warming is becoming more and more noticeable worldwide.…”

Heating in the winter is one of the human activities that consumes the most energy, thereby affecting the environment and leaving a carbon footprint. An increase in heating efficiency results in a reduction in the energy demand of the process and environmental protection. This contribution aimed to determine and experimentally verify the possibility of obtaining and effectively using the heat from the chimney of a gas boiler generated during the heating of a family house. For this purpose, we used a simple heat exchanger and measured the relevant temperatures on an exchange unit for almost five months during the heating season. The air temperatures measured at the inlet and outlet of the exchanger unit together with the outside temperatures were statistically analyzed to determine the effect of using the exchanger unit to obtain additional heat that could be used for other purposes. In addition, this study investigated whether there was a statistically significant difference in the temperature of the air entering the heating system with different outdoor temperature values. In the discussion, these hypotheses are either confirmed or disproved. Finally, the effectiveness of the current household heating system is evaluated.
