However, its depolymerization into valuable monomers is hindered by intricate side reactions. In this study, alkaline lignin was converted into vanillin using nine choline chloride‐based deep eutectic solvents (DES) under an eco‐friendly and mild process. Among them, choline chloride /lactic acid (molar ratio 10:1) containing 30% water at 80°C for 120 min achieved the highest vanillin yield (1.92 wt %), outperforming oxalic‐, levulinic‐, and glycol‐based DES by 1.5 to 5‐fold. Single‐factor assays showed that acidity (lactic acid fraction), water content (20%–40%), and reaction time (≤120 min) were decisive. GPC revealed that the weight‐average molar mass dropped from 3000 to 420 g mol −1 and PDI narrowed to 1.25, confirming extensive yet selective cleavage of β‐O‐4 linkages. 2D‐HSQC indicated simultaneous demethoxylation and minor condensation of side chains. The depolymerized products exhibited strong antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus (79.6% inhibition) and Escherichia coli (65.5% inhibition). A mild acid–water synergistic oxidation pathway is proposed, in which protons generated from DES dissociation attack ether bonds and H 2 O activates oxygen transfer, enabling greener lignin without noble metals or high pressure.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/ep.70279","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147333246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using annual NIC data for 1990–2024, we test whether growth and natural resource rents promote renewable energy, and how industrialization, financial development, and ICT shape this link. Second-generation diagnostics confirm slope heterogeneity, cross-sectional dependence, and cointegration among REN, GDP, NRR, IND, FDE, and ICT. We then estimate Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR, τ = 0.10–0.90) and cross-check with FMOLS/DOLS/FE-OLS and Dumitrescu–Hurlin causality. MMQR shows GDP is positive and significant across all quantiles—strongest at the tails; NRR is consistently negative, with larger magnitudes at upper quantiles; IND is mostly negative beyond lower quantiles (one positive estimate at τ = 0.20); FDE and ICT have mixed, generally insignificant effects. Benchmarks corroborate GDP(+) and FDE(+) with IND(−) on average. Causality indicates GDP → REN, NRR → REN, FDE → REN, bidirectional REN↔IND, and no ICT–REN causality. Overall, growth reliably supports renewables, resource-rent dependence hinders them, industrial pressure tilts against REN without correction, and enabling institutions are uneven—effects that vary across the adoption distribution.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146148076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing research has thoroughly examined the decoupling status and spatiotemporal evolution of carbon emissions from livestock farming, but has paid insufficient attention to the stability of decoupling and its underlying causes. This study innovatively introduces the concepts and identification methodologies of decoupling traps and real-pseudo decoupling. By utilizing the Tapio decoupling model, we evaluate the carbon decoupling status and real decoupling achievements across Chinese provinces. A binary logit model is employed to identify key determinants for overcoming decoupling traps. Our findings reveal that (1) China's livestock sector carbon emissions have shown a fluctuating downward trend, with total emissions decreasing from 466 million tons to 377 million tons—a reduction of 19.12%. (2) From the 2006 to 2010 period to the 2021 to 2023 period, the relationship between livestock carbon emissions and economic growth in China was predominantly characterized by strong decoupling and weak decoupling. Although overall decoupling performance is relatively favorable, significant spatial heterogeneity and temporal volatility are observed. (3) Substantial disparities exist among provinces regarding real-pseudo decoupling. Real decoupling is primarily concentrated in economically advanced municipalities and major livestock production regions, while other areas remain in a state of pseudo-decoupling, thereby falling into decoupling traps. (4) Industrial structure, technological progress, urbanization level, government support, and infrastructure development are identified as critical pathways to facilitate the transition from pseudo-decoupling to real decoupling.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146136165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Basalt mineralization sequestration technology has shown great potential for the long-term stable sequestration of CO2. This article reviews the current research status of CO2 mineral sequestration in basalt, with a focus on analyzing the main factors affecting sequestration rates, including mineral composition, temperature, pH, porosity, and permeability. Additionally, it summarizes the methods for evaluating the sequestration potential of basalt. Studies have shown that the mineral composition of basalt can form stable carbonate minerals when reacting with CO2, effectively sequestering CO2 with a high sequestration rate. In addition, temperature and pH conditions have a significant impact on the mineralization sequestration rate, and optimal reaction conditions can significantly improve reaction efficiency. Compared to traditional CO2 sequestration methods, basalt mineral sequestration offers more long-term, safe, and stable sequestration effects. Finally, this article summarizes future research directions for CO2 sequestration in basalt, providing a theoretical foundation and technical support to promote technological advancements and applications in this field.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146129756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Highlights show the potential of Marine waste for renewable, high-performance eco-friendly food packaging materials. This is the first critical review on the use of marine isolate as feedstock in the production of biodegradable plastics. The review includes a detailed analysis of characterization in terms of physicochemical properties related to a high lignocellulosic nature and its importance as raw materials utilized among various biomass conversion technologies such as thermochemical, biochemical, and hybrid approaches. This review emphasizes the relevance of environmental Marine waste, its transition to biodegradable plastics, composite materials, and edible films boosted by catalytic pyrolysis together with enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation, causing improvement in their mechanical properties (strength), thermal stability, and ability as a barrier. In a different sense, the review further discusses the employment of nanotechnology together with green chemistry to fine-tune these conversion processes and functionalities in biopolymeric-based packaging materials. It critically reviews challenges related to process efficiency, economic viability, and regulatory compliance along with recent technological advancements in the field of biorefinery, as well as future directions for Research and Development. Thus, the review highlights that in addition to Marine waste valorisation, a broader circular bioeconomy approach could significantly support the reduction of environmental impacts through bio-based and sustainable packaging solutions.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the environmental impacts associated with MgO synthesis and biomass utilization via a dual-step process: (1) the green synthesis of MgO nanoparticles (nps) using Mahua flower extracts and (2) the production of bioethanol from the spent floral biomass. The cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment indicated a global warming potential of 11.90 kg CO2 equivalent for Step 1 of the green synthesis of MgO nps relative to conventional chemical methods, thus supporting its green attributes. Step 2 demonstrated the conversion of spent flowers with spent sugars (≈32%) into bioethanol, resulting in a yield of ≈50% compared to fresh flowers. The research highlights the principles of reduction, reuse, and recycling by converting waste into valuable bioethanol and potential soil amendments, thereby supporting a circular economy framework. This study illustrates the dual use of Mahua flowers as a renewable resource for the synthesis of nps and the production of bioethanol, while offering insights into the efficient utilization of biomass aligning with sustainability objectives.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146136038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
