Waste-to-wealth: green potential from palm biomass in Malaysia

“…Other than the conventional LCA, some other aspect should be analysed in the future: various other footprints -e.g. nitrogen ( Cu cek et al, 2012), Sustainable process index e SPI (Kettl et al, 2011) and Environmental Performance Strategy Map e EPSM Kleme s, 2009, 2010).…”

Recent cleaner production advances in process monitoring and optimisation

“…Important aspects should be analysed: various footprints e e.g. nitrogen ( Cu cek et al, 2012b), Sustainable process index e SPI (Kettl et al, 2011) and the Environmental Performance Strategy Map e EPSM Kleme s, 2009, 2010). The authors built upon an overview of palm biomass potential in terms of (i) promotion of the utilisation of palm biomass, (ii) green policies, (iii) institutional research, (iv) business opportunities, and (v) challenges in green futures.…”

A Review of Footprint analysis tools for monitoring impacts on sustainability

“…The RegiOpt (Regional Optimiser) software tool was introduced by Kettl et al (2011b). The Process Network Synthesis (PNS) (Friedler et al, 1995) and SPI methodologies are combined in RegiOpt to enable the creation of economically-optimal regional energy technology networks that are subject to the consideration of environmental impacts (EF).…”

“…The EF provides insights into possible "hot-spots" within the system and also furnishes information on the benefits of a system. The program is provided in two versions: the "Conceptual Planner" for rapid and simple analysis and the "Advanced Designer" for a more detailed energy network scenario (Kettl et al, 2011b).…”
