Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In an in-depth study of the application of sustainable energy in cross-border e-commerce, a comprehensive assessment and model optimization of its life cycle are conducted to promote the practical application of sustainable development in e-commerce. With the increasing global concern for renewable energy and environmental protection, e-commerce, as an international business model, has attracted much attention in terms of the environmental and social impacts of its sustainability.OBJECTIVES: The aim is to provide scientific assessment methods and effective model optimization strategies to promote the feasibility and sustainability of cross-border e-commerce for sustainable energy.METHODS: A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) model was constructed using the system life cycle assessment (SLCA) methodology by collecting data from various aspects of sustainable energy cross-border e-commerce. The model considers the entire life cycle process from energy production, logistics, transportation, and product manufacturing to final consumption and integrates various factors such as resource utilization, environmental emissions, and social responsibility. Based on the assessment, a series of model optimization strategies are proposed, including suggestions for improving supply chain efficiency, promoting green energy applications, and strengthening social responsibility.RESULTS: This study achieved significant life cycle assessment and model optimization results. In terms of energy use, promoting the application of renewable energy significantly reduces carbon emissions; in terms of supply chain management, optimization leads to an overall efficiency improvement and a reduction in resource wastage; and in terms of social responsibility, the enterprise strengthens employee training and community involvement, which enhances its social image. These results show that sustainable energy cross-border e-commerce can better achieve sustainable development goals through systematic assessment and optimization.CONCLUSION: Life cycle assessment and model optimization provide scientific assessment methods and practical suggestions for sustainable energy cross-border e-commerce. In global sustainable development, the e-commerce industry should actively adopt sustainable energy and minimize its negative impacts on the environment and society by optimizing production and supply chain management. Future research can continue to expand the assessment model and deeply explore the potential of sustainable energy in e-commerce to provide more precise guidance for the industry's sustainable development.

可持续能源跨境电子商务的生命周期评估和模型优化

简介：在对跨境电子商务中可持续能源应用的深入研究中，对其生命周期进行了全面评估和模型优化，以促进可持续发展在电子商务中的实际应用。随着全球对可再生能源和环境保护的日益关注，电子商务作为一种国际商业模式，其可持续发展对环境和社会的影响备受关注：方法：采用系统生命周期评估（SLCA）方法，通过收集可持续能源跨境电子商务各方面的数据，构建了一个全面的生命周期评估（LCA）模型。该模型考虑了从能源生产、物流运输、产品制造到最终消费的整个生命周期过程，并整合了资源利用、环境排放和社会责任等各种因素。根据评估结果，提出了一系列模型优化策略，包括提高供应链效率、促进绿色能源应用、强化社会责任等建议。在能源利用方面，推广应用可再生能源大大减少了碳排放；在供应链管理方面，通过优化提高了整体效率，减少了资源浪费；在社会责任方面，企业加强了员工培训和社区参与，提升了社会形象。这些结果表明，可持续能源跨境电商通过系统评估和优化，可以更好地实现可持续发展目标。结论：生命周期评估和模型优化为可持续能源跨境电商提供了科学的评估方法和切实可行的建议。在全球可持续发展中，电子商务行业应积极采用可持续能源，并通过优化生产和供应链管理将其对环境和社会的负面影响降至最低。未来的研究可以继续拓展评估模型，深入挖掘可持续能源在电子商务中的应用潜力，为行业的可持续发展提供更精准的指导。

期刊介绍： With ICT pervading everyday objects and infrastructures, the ‘Future Internet’ is envisioned to undergo a radical transformation from how we know it today (a mere communication highway) into a vast hybrid network seamlessly integrating knowledge, people and machines into techno-social ecosystems whose behaviour transcends the boundaries of today’s engineering science. As the internet of things continues to grow, billions and trillions of data bytes need to be moved, stored and shared. The energy thus consumed and the climate impact of data centers are increasing dramatically, thereby becoming significant contributors to global warming and climate change. As reported recently, the combined electricity consumption of the world’s data centers has already exceeded that of some of the world''s top ten economies. In the ensuing process of integrating traditional and renewable energy, monitoring and managing various energy sources, and processing and transferring technological information through various channels, IT will undoubtedly play an ever-increasing and central role. Several technologies are currently racing to production to meet this challenge, from ‘smart dust’ to hybrid networks capable of controlling the emergence of dependable and reliable green and energy-efficient ecosystems – which we generically term the ‘energy web’ – calling for major paradigm shifts highly disruptive of the ways the energy sector functions today. The EAI Transactions on Energy Web are positioned at the forefront of these efforts and provide a forum for the most forward-looking, state-of-the-art research bringing together the cross section of IT and Energy communities. The journal will publish original works reporting on prominent advances that challenge traditional thinking.
