The framework addresses return-risk tradeoffs, decision-making attitudes, and uncertainties in agricultural systems; reconciles conflicting objectives among energy, economic, and environmental spheres; identifies bioenergy potentials from crop and livestock management; and validated through a case study in Hubei province, China. Flexible resource allocation schemes answer questions commonly asked by decision makers: “Where are the bioenergy production potentials from agricultural wastes?” and “Which efforts will lead to better agricultural sustainability?”. Compared to current practices, optimal results show increased economic profits by 5.07 ×10<sup>8</sup> CNY, reduced allocation risks by 5.02 ×10<sup>8</sup> CNY, reduced environmental impacts by 0.89×10<sup>8</sup> kg N, 0.26×10<sup>6</sup> kg P, and 0.37×10<sup>10</sup> kg CO<sub>2</sub>, and significant bioenergy potential 2.304 ×10<sup>11</sup> MJ contributed by crop straw and livestock manure recycling.

To maximize its environmental and economic benefits, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the policy's influence on the transformation of the low-carbon economy (TLCE). This paper spans the period from 2003 to 2021, analyzing a sample of 281 Chinese cities at the prefecture level or higher. First, the research employs the super-efficient EBM-GML model, incorporating non-desired outputs, to measure the TLCE. Second, the progressive difference-in-differences model integrates the TLCE into the assessment framework of the LCCPP, allowing for an empirical analysis of its effects on the transformation. Third, a heterogeneity analysis is conducted from various perspectives, including the \"Hu Huanyong line, \" coastal and inland cities, and environmental protection priority cities. Finally, the paper investigates the linear mechanisms of the LCCPP on the TLCE across three dimensions: environment, economy, and technology. The environmental dimension reflects urban ecological resilience, the economic dimension pertains to the development level of the digital economy, and the technological dimension relates to scientific and technological innovation activity. Additionally, the paper examines the nonlinear mechanisms through which the LCCPP affects the TLCE, focusing on environmental regulation and factor endowment. The results indicate that: 1) The LCCPP significantly facilitates the TLCE in the experimental areas, with findings remaining robust across various tests, including parallel trend test, SDID, a test of heterogeneity in treatment effects, and PSM-DID. 2) Heterogeneity analysis shows the policy's impact is stronger in cities south of the \"Hu Huanyong line, \" as well as in coastal cities and environmental protection priority cities. 3) Linear mechanism analysis indicates that urban ecological resilience, the development level of the digital economy, and scientific and technological innovation activity serve as partial intermediaries in the TLCE influenced by the LCCPP. 4) Nonlinear mechanism analysis indicates that environmental regulation and factor endowment influence TLCE in nonlinear ways, with effects varying across different threshold stages. Specifically, when environmental regulation and factor endowment are at varying developmental stages, the LCCPP effect tends to follow a \"first suppressed, then elevated\" trend. Based on these findings, the paper recommends expanding the scope of the LCCPP and sharing experiences in low-carbon development to support achieving the \"dual-carbon\" goal within China's innovation strategy.","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

To comprehensively utilize renewable energy, LNG cooling energy, and ship waste heat, the SHECCS integrates multiple subsystems, including the Carbon Capture Subsystem, Liquefied CO<sub>2</sub> Subsystem, Carnot Battery Subsystem, Multi-Effect Distillation Desalination Subsystem, Ejector Refrigeration Cycle Subsystem, Organic Rankine Cycle Subsystem, and Photovoltaic Panels. Together, these subsystems enable carbon capture and liquefaction, energy storage, distilled water production, refrigeration, and power generation for ships. The system's performance is evaluated using energy, exergy, environmental, and economic (4E) assessments. The effects of the split ratio, direct normal irradiance, liquid-to-gas ratio, and exhaust gas flow rate on the system are investigated. Additionally, considering the intermittency and fluctuation of solar resources, the impact of storage duration on the system is also analyzed. Under the design conditions, the system's distilled water production and cooling capacity are 21.710 m³/day and 121.800 kW, respectively. The optimization of the system uses all-day energy efficiency, all-day primary energy ratio, and payback period as objectives. The results indicate that the system achieves an all-day energy efficiency of 39.320% and an all-day exergy efficiency of 40.290%. Regarding the environmental analysis, the all-day primary energy ratio and Energy Efficiency Design Index are 4.486 and 8.164 G/t·nmile, respectively.

It emphasizes the necessity for a multifaceted approach to address the complexities of production and consumption that impact resource distribution and sustainability. The research articles highlight the importance of robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks to assess the effectiveness of implemented practices, as the absence of such frameworks can lead to an inadequate understanding of their impact on sustainability goals. Discussing the regulatory restrictions that may hinder the applicability of innovative recycling methods and cleaner production technologies, particularly in developing regions, the authors underscore the need for collaboration across various sectors and stakeholders to facilitate the uniform application of circular practices, which is essential for achieving widespread adoption. The Special Issue also addresses the potential for public environmental concern to influence legislation positively while recognizing the risk of environmental inequality due to pollution transfer. The findings suggest that while cleaner production and circular economy practices offer pathways to sustainability, their success is contingent upon overcoming technological gaps and fostering cooperation among diverse stakeholders.

As a zero-carbon fuel with higher volumetric heat density than hydrogen, ammonia has the potential to serve for marine engines, thereby aiding in the decarbonization of ocean shipping. However, as a fuel with weak flammability, ammonia engine still faces the problem of how to organize its combustion. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing ammonia as the main fuel for marine engines and its combustion characteristics. A centralized jet-flame controlled combustion strategy for two-stroke marine engine are proposed to better organize the ammonia combustion in large combustion chamber. Firstly, the relative injection direction of ammonia and diesel was researched, ammonia and diesel injected in an opposite direction has better performance as the ignition happens downstream of ammonia spray with better fuel-air mixture for ignition and flame transport from downstream to upstream preventing flame hitting liner to avoid extinguishing. Secondly, centralized jet-flame controlled combustion strategy was researched in engine model. There are two phases of this combustion strategy, premixed combustion and diffusion combustion. The ITE and unburn ammonia most related to the premixed ammonia which was influenced by ammonia injection timing. The unburn ammonia most related to diffusion combustion. Ammonia injection direction concentrating in the center and flame transport from downstream to upstream can preventing ammonia flame from hitting liner and better the diffusion combustion efficiency than existing ammonia-diesel injected in same direction mode. A replacement rate of up to 98% for ammonia can be achieved while maintaining an indicated thermal efficiency (ITE) ranging from 43.7% to 50.4%. Unburned ammonia can be optimized from 4.4% to 0.18%.","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142849071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 situation presents a conundrum: how to mitigate greenwashing effectively, ensuring both optimal profits and increased product sustainability, while promoting social welfare. Our study investigates manufacturers’ greenwashing activities and evaluates the implications of various environmental policies—including non-intervention, green subsidies, green labels, and combined green subsidies and green labels—on production decisions and social welfare through mathematical modeling analysis. Unlike prior work, our research provides an in-depth examination of decision-making interactions between governments and manufacturers, utilizing a politico-business gaming model. We elucidate how governments can obtain reliable green information from expert product-testing institutions within the framework of green subsidy policies. Furthermore, our study examines the revelatory role of information on green labels under label policies. Through analytical resolution, we scrutinize the deterrent effects of these environmental policies on greenwashing. The findings of our study indicate that, compared to non-intervention scenarios, green subsidies, green labels, and combined policies are all effective at restraining greenwashing, with green label policies and combined policies showing equal effectiveness in this regard. Notably, combined policies are more effective than subsidies alone in both reducing greenwashing and enhancing social welfare. Interestingly, manufacturers may not inherently prefer green labels or combined policies when profit is their primary concern, suggesting that governments may need to carefully adjust green label standards to balance the goals of preventing greenwashing, maximizing profits, and promoting social welfare.","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
