Previous studies that conducted life cycle assessments (LCAs) in the Arctic regions did not use regionalized LCIA, despite the regional environmental specificities. The goal of this study is to assess the importance of LCIA regionalization on the variability of the results and to bring recommendations regarding LCIA regionalization for Arctic regions. Characterization factors (CFs) are determined for the 11 regionalized midpoint impact categories (ICs) of Impact World + methodology at a consistent resolution for the Nunavik region, located in the Arctic region of Québec, Canada. These CFs, together with the global average CFs and country/sub-continental resolution CFs, are then applied to two case studies, on electricity and heat production, to assess the impacts of using Arctic-region-specific CFs on LCIA results. Results indicate that for hotspot analyses, country/subcontinental resolution is appropriate; the impact scores and the main contributors at the country/subcontinental resolution are consistent with those at the Nunavik resolution. However, for comparative analysis, region-specific resolution must be used as the results of the comparisons vary significantly due to differences between the life cycle inventories (LCIs) of the systems being compared. When comparing energy systems using different fuels, the differences shown vary significantly between resolutions, to an extent leading to inversions as to which system has the best environmental performance. This research suggests that the regionalization of the impact assessment should be conducted after collecting and modeling the inventory. Notably, this study can be used to optimize LCIAs for the context of Arctic regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"496 ","pages":"Article 145049"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143452269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Comprehensive characterization indicated that the Fe-Mn/_NiCAF catalyst has been successfully synthesized, with the Fe-Mn active components uniformly distributed on the surface of the _NiCAF composite. Fe-Mn/_NiCAF could enhance the removal efficiencies of COD (77.68 %) and TOC (73.21 %) from paint wastewater.

Experimental analysis and theoretical calculations demonstrated that Fe-Mn/_NiCAF provided abundant reactive sites for O₃ decomposition. Compared with the Al₂O₃-supported catalyst, carbon embedding increased the surface carbonyl and surface hydroxyl groups by 24.87% and 25.72%, respectively. The interaction between the active components Fe and Mn in the Fe-Mn/_NiCAF catalyst facilitates electron transfer, thereby improving O₃ adsorption and decomposition activity.

In this context, electric vehicles (EVs) are presented as a cleaner alternative to conventional vehicles (CVs), aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), which aim to promote sustainable energy use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for sustainable communites. With more stakeholders making the business case for EVs, it will be highly beneficial for consumers, industry, and policymakers to comprehend the markets around significant global regions.<h3>Objective</h3>The present study provides a thorough overview of the electric vehicle market by constructing and benchmarking prices, specifications, and technological adopters of electric vehicles across the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The study examines factors affecting electric vehicle prices (EVs), especially in the context of EV penetration enhancement, while compliant with SDGs 7, 11 and 13.<h3>Methodology</h3>The research used secondary data which was collected from electric vehicle databases and Kaggle with research scope encompassing 353 electric vehicle models and 17 parameters. To determine the related factors, correlation analysis was performed, and further multiple regression analysis was also used to examine the association between EV specifications and regional prices. The regression models were further validated using various techniques of machine learning.<h3>Results</h3>Pricing has been observed to be influenced by major regional differences. In Germany and the Netherlands, the price per kilometer of range emerged as a major factor, while in the UK and the US, other factors such as battery parameters and interdependencies between different regional prices played a key role. The importance of fast charging capability was a significant predictor in the regions of Germany and the UK that suggested the influence of infrastructure development on market dynamics. The explanatory power of the models for regional EV prices ranged from 86.79% to 98.96%.<h3>Conclusion</h3>It is clear from the study that various factors including region-specific infrastructure and consumer preferences play a big role in the evolution of the EV market. Leaders should concentrate on expanding the necessary charging facilities and proposing effective measures to promote EV acceptance. Further studies should focus on the aspect of ‘what happens after’, studying the sustainability elements of consumer behavior in new markets and the total cost of ownership. This paper provides important guidance for the global development of e-mobility and encourages the shift to more environmentally advanced transport.","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143452252","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 study provided an effective means of improving water quality in the watershed. The SWMM modelling results demonstrated that TN and TP pollution was most serious in the lower reaches of the watershed, with average TN and TP concentrations of 2.49 mg/L and 0.17 mg/L, respectively. TN pollution was more serious than TP pollution, and TN and TP pollution in the non-flood season was worse than that in the flood season. Farmland and tea plantations contributed the most to TN pollution, and impervious surfaces contributed the most to TP pollution. Various BMPs have different reduction effects on NPS pollution. The average reduction rates of TN and TP for nutrient management measures and landscape management measures were 8.03%–10.07% and 5.28%–10.26%, respectively. Combining the nutrient and landscape management practices could achieve the maximum reduction in TN and TP pollution levels, with an average reduction rate of 19.34% and 16.34% for TN and TP, respectively. This study not only provides new ideas for the optimization of SWMM for river water quality simulation under heterogeneous watershed conditions, but also expands the applicability of SWMM from urban areas to agricultural watersheds.

Based on a three-year longitudinal case study of a new venture implementing a circular product-as-a-service (PaaS) model, this paper examines how such businesses navigate this paradox. Our findings reveal their simultaneous use of embedding (partnering with producers to secure resources and promote circularity) and dis-embedding (developing a circular product independently to reduce dependence and inertial forces and avoid mission drift). We show that ventures harness the benefits of embedding and dis-embedding to address the financial and inertial barriers to implementing CBMs. Our findings contribute to the literature by (1) showing how the strategy of combining embedding and dis-embedding enables navigation of the embeddedness paradox, (2) providing a more dynamic account of ways to tackle the barriers to implement CBMs, and (3) enhancing our understanding of the part played by CBMs in new ventures in driving the circular transition.","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143452272","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}
