Nitrous oxide emissions from liquid biofuel production in life cycle assessment
Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands: Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate
The growing demand for biofuels is promoting the expansion of a number of agricultural commodities, including oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). Oil‐palm plantations cover over 13 million ha, primarily in Southeast Asia, where they have directly or indirectly replaced tropical rainforest. We explored the impact of the spread of oil‐palm plantations on greenhouse gas emission and biodiversity. We assessed changes in carbon stocks with changing land use…
Hazard Reduction in Nanotechnology
The release of hazardous substances is a matter of concern for nanotechnology. This may include some nanoparticles, reactants, by‐products, and solvents. The use of low‐hazard solvents may reduce the hazards from nanoparticle production and nanomaterial processing. The hazards of inorganic nanoparticles may be reduced by modifying their chemical composition, surface characteristics, or structure. In nanomedicine, optimizing the balance between pe…
The Cement Industry as a Scavenger in Industrial Ecology and the Management of Hazardous Substances
The cement industry uses a variety of secondary materials and fuels, thus fulfilling the role of “scavenger” in industrial ecology (IE). The use of wastes in cement production has been advocated to reduce cement production costs and to achieve the degradation and immobilization of hazardous compounds. In dealing with hazardous elements contained in the wastes, this development has side effects such as relatively significant stack emissions of hea…
Broad sustainability contra sustainability: The proper construction of sustainability indicators
Spatially Explicit Characterization of Acidifying and Eutrophying Air Pollution in Life‐Cycle Assessment
Simple models are often used to assess the potential impact of acidifying and eutrophying substances released during the life cycle of products. As fate, background depositions, and ecosystem sensitivity are not included in these models, environmental life‐cycle assessment of products (LCA) may produce incorrect results for these impact categories. This paper outlines the spatially explicit regional air pollution information and simulation model …
The Factor X Debate: Setting Targets for Eco‐Efficiency
The quantification and achievement of eco‐efficiency or dematerialization in the form of a factor X, with X varying between 4 and 50 is being espoused by a variety of analysts and advocates. Politically, these efforts are mainly confined to some European countries. They reflect a remarkable technological optimism. This article reviews some of the major issues pertinent to the factor X debate. The case is presented for quantifying dematerializatio…
