“…Numerous studies have suggested that lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions indicate better environmental quality. The IPCC report recommends reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO2, by 50-80% by 2050 (Rau et al, 2021). Therefore, a clear understanding of how to curb CO2 emissions is necessary.…”

World is experiencing rapid commercial growth and urbanization. Carbon (IV) oxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere is increasing. As a result, a more effective energy policy is required. As a matter of fact, sustainable environmental quality has been identified as a critical component of long-term economic development success. Many studies have found that lower CO2 emissions are an indicator of improved environmental quality. In the future, low-cost photoelectric technologies with superior sun-to-energy power conversion efficiency, extended lifetime, and low toxicity may replace conventional silicon-based solar panels and provide effective global illumination. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on the zinc oxide nanorods are capable of all the aforementioned features. Zinc-oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are important for dye synthesis solar cells, and it is a leading semiconductor that researchers are interested in. The primary objective/purpose of this resarch is to highlight impact of carbon (IV) oxide and the potential of DSSC for reducing CO2 discharges into the atmosphere. Method of ZnO NRs deposition on seed layer coated FTO Glass by Hydrothermal method was also expounded. The morphology of nanorods is presented, based on the available literature it concludes that the production of efficient DSSCs can reduce reliance on fossil fuels, which are the agent of ozone depletion layer due to green gas emissions.

Management of agricultural waste biomass as raw material for the construction sector: an analysis of sustainable and circular alternatives

et al. 2022

Background The agricultural and construction sectors demand enormous amounts of natural resources and generate environmental impacts that negatively affect ecosystems. One of the main problems is the generation and inadequate management of waste. For this reason, under the approaches of the new sustainable and circular models, waste valorization has been prioritised as a strategy for advancing towards the sustainability of production systems. This research aims to carry out a general analysis of Agricultural Waste Biomass (AWB) in the production of bio-based products for the construction sector. Bibliometric techniques were applied for the general analysis of the scientific production obtained from Scopus. A systematic review identified the main research approaches. In addition, European projects were reviewed to assess the practical application. This study is novel and provides relevant contributions to new trends in the valorisation of AWB in the building sector and the sustainability benefits. For policymakers, it is a source of information on the contribution of new policies to scientific advances and the aspects that need to be strengthened to improve sustainable and circular practices in both sectors. Results The results show that 74% of the research has been published within the last 5 years. Regarding the main types of AWBs, rice husk ash and sugar cane bagasse ash are the most commonly used in manufacturing a wide variety of bio-based building products. Cement, concrete and bricks are the main bio-based products obtained from AWB. However, a new approach to utilisation was identified in road construction. Conclusions The findings indicate that the AWB is an important resource with great potential for the construction sector. Similarly, that policies on sustainable and circular development have driven scientific progress on new alternatives for the valorisation of AWB to improve sustainability in the construction sector. Although the practical application has also been driven through European projects, development at this level is still low. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen partnerships between these two sectors and improve government strategies on sustainability and circularity to overcome existing constraints.

Portland-composite cements (PCC) were prepared with partial substitution of 5 to 25% of class C fly ash, obtained from East Java steam power plant. Properties of the composite cements was evaluated, through the setting time (initial and final) and compressive strength (3, 7, and 28 days) compared with control PCC. Setting time is retarded in Portland-composite cements with higher fly ash content. The retardation is highest in PCC with substitution of 25% fly ash. Lower compressive strength is obtained after 3 and 7 days of curing for PCC with 5-25% fly ash substitution in comparison with control cement, since pozzolanic reaction still did not show its effect. After 28 days, compressive strength was higher than that for control cement because pozzolanic reaction show its effect, highlighted by compressive strength increase of PCC substituted by 5% and 10% fly ash, 16.48 MPa and 16.52 MPa, respectively. This attributed to the differences in the pozzolanic activity of the applied fly ash. The compressive strength increase was explained by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), which shows that PCC with substitution of 10% fly ash had more Tobermorite presented compared to control cement.
