Kajian Potensi Penerapan Extensive Green Roof Berbasis Struktur Kayu di Indonesia

The availability of green space is decreasing along with the increase in population. Since then the land has been replaced by buildings as more people need a place to support human activities. As a result, the absorption of heat increases, causing the temperature in urbanized areas are higher relative to outlying areas (Urban Heat Island). Therefore, some efforts need to be made to reduce heat absorption, one of which is by applying the green roof. A strong roof structure and roof panel are required to implement green roofs. Wood is a material that has both strength and lightweight. However, the use of wood panels for roofing is not common in tropical areas due to the high rainfall. The wood roofing still has a potential to be used through the application of green roof technology that accommodate a waterproof layer and is not easily degraded by planting media. This study aims to examine the potential use of green roofs which made of wood structures and wood roofing in a tropical climate.

The effect of urbanization on CO2 emissions in Vietnam - Approached by the autoresgressive distributed lag model (ARDL)

This paper examines the effect of urbanization on CO2 emissions in Vietnam from 1986 to 2021. By applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) to co-aggregation, the study analyzes both short-run and long-term relationship between urbanization and emissions. The research is based on time series data collected from reputable organizations around the world (World Bank - WB, World Energy Analysis Agency - IEA). Two control variables, average GDP per capita and technological progress (measured through the total number of patent applications by residents and non-residents) are included in the analysis model. The results show that there is a cointegration relationship between the variables. Urbanization increases emissions in both the short and long term. In addition, GDP per capita and the number of patent registrations (representing the technological innovation variable) are found to change the degree of impact of urbanization on CO2 emissions in both the short and long run. Thereby, the findings provide implications in increasing the level of urbanization associated with sustainable economic development based on the application of green technology in the economy.

Deep-sea mineral deposits as a future source of critical metals, and environmental issues - a brief review

For the whole world to deliver net zero by 2050, large-scale mining is more critical for metals such as lithium, cobalt, platinum, palladium, REE, gallium, tungsten, tellurium, and indium as these metals are essential for green technology applications such as making wind turbines, solar panels, fuel-cells, electric vehicles, and data storage systems required to transition to a low-carbon economy. Since land-based mineral deposits are depleting fast, seabed resources are seen as a new resource frontier for mineral exploration and extraction. They include mainly deep-ocean mineral deposits, such as massive sulfides, manganese nodules, ferromanganese crusts, phosphorites, and REE-rich marine muds. Manganese nodules contain mainly manganese and iron, but also valuable metals like nickel, cobalt, and copper, as well as REE and platinum, which are used in making several high-technology and green technology products. For example, deep-sea mud enriched in REE (> 2000 µg/g) was found in the western North Pacific Ocean. High concentrations of REE range from 1,727 to 2,511 μg/g in the crust samples collected from the Afanasy Nikitin Seamount (ANS) in the Indian Ocean. However, these deposits usually have lower REE grades than land-based REE deposits such as carbonatite-hosted deposits but form greater potential volumes. Though the mining companies and their sponsoring countries are in the process of developing the required technologies to mine the three deep-sea environments: abyssal plains, seamounts, and hydrothermal vents, due to severe concerns about the possible environmental damages, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) has not granted any mining permissions so far, although deep-sea mining becomes inevitable in the future green energy revolution.

A Comprehensive Overview of Tomato Processing By-Product Valorization by Conventional Methods versus Emerging Technologies

The tomato processing industry can be considered one of the most widespread food manufacturing industries all over the world, annually generating considerable quantities of residue and determining disposal issues associated not only with the wasting of invaluable resources but also with the rise of significant environmental burdens. In this regard, previous studies have widely ascertained that tomato by-products are still rich in valuable compounds, which, once recovered, could be utilized in different industrial sectors. Currently, conventional solvent extraction is the most widely used method for the recovery of these compounds from tomato pomace. Nevertheless, several well-known drawbacks derive from this process, including the use of large quantities of solvents and the difficulties of utilizing the residual biomass. To overcome these limitations, the recent advances in extraction techniques, including the modification of the process configuration and the use of complementary novel methods to modify or destroy vegetable cells, have greatly and effectively influenced the recovery of different compounds from plant matrices. This review contributes a comprehensive overview on the valorization of tomato processing by-products with a specific focus on the use of "green technologies", including high-pressure homogenization (HPH), pulsed electric fields (PEF), supercritical fluid (SFE-CO2), ultrasounds (UAE), and microwaves (MAE), suitable to enhancing the extractability of target compounds while reducing the solvent requirement and shortening the extraction time. The effects of conventional processes and the application of green technologies are critically analyzed, and their effectiveness on the recovery of lycopene, polyphenols, cutin, pectin, oil, and proteins from tomato residues is discussed, focusing on their strengths, drawbacks, and critical factors that contribute to maximizing the extraction yields of the target compounds. Moreover, to follow the "near zero discharge concept", the utilization of a cascade approach to recover different valuable compounds and the exploitation of the residual biomass for biogas generation are also pointed out.

Sustainable Approaches Using Green Technologies for Apple By-Product Valorisation as A New Perspective into the History of the Apple.

The apple has been recognised as the most culturally important fruit crop in temperate land areas. Centuries of human exploitation and development led to the production of thousands of apple cultivars. Nowadays, the apple represents the third most widely cultivated fruit in the world. About 30% of the total production of apples is processed, being juice and cider the main resulting products. Regarding this procedure, a large quantity of apple by-product is generated, which tends to be undervalued, and commonly remains underutilised, landfilled, or incinerated. However, apple by-product is a proven source of bioactive compounds, namely dietary fibre, fatty acids, triterpenes, or polyphenols. Therefore, the application of green technologies should be considered in order to improve the functionality of apple by-product while promoting its use as the raw material of a novel product line. The present work provides a holistic view of the apple’s historical evolution, characterises apple by-product, and reviews the application of green technologies for improving its functionality. These sustainable procedures can enable the transformation of this perishable material into a novel ingredient opening up new prospects for the apple’s potential use and consumption.

Assessment of Urban Green Development Efficiency Based on Three-Stage DEA: A Case Study from China’s Yangtze River Delta

With the march of global urbanization, there are looming problems including environmental degradation and remediation all over the world. In this case, urban green development is the key to overcoming climate crisis, biodiversity loss and pollution. In this paper, a three-stage DEA model was employed to study the urban green development efficiency (GDE), with cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) as the object. In the study, the regional economic foundation, urbanization level, industrial structure and government planning were used as external environmental variables, and the impact of objective external environmental factors was tested empirically, thereby eliminating the adverse environmental impact and statistical noise to obtain more truthful GDE. According to the results, first, the influence of external environmental factors and stochastic disturbance on GDE was effectively removed by virtue of the three-stage DEA model, and the GDE of the YRD was measured in a true and objective manner. The GDE of the YRD in Stage III was notably higher than that in Stage I since the GDE in Stage I was underestimated under the influence of objective environmental variables. Second, the GDE level showed heterogeneity in different cities, which behaved better in coastal and southeastern regions than in central, western and northern regions. Third, regarding the impact of external environmental variables, the GDE was enhanced by increasing the proportion of the tertiary industry and the green area of built districts but weakened when the area of built districts (ABD) reflecting urban construction was expanded. The index gross regional product (GRP) reflects local economic development level, the impact of which on GDE was not determined in this paper. As a consequence, in the process of urban development, it is suggested to focus on the innovation and application of green technology, upgrade the industrial structure, cultivate green talents, and formulate reasonable green transformation policies.

Hierarchical Linkage between the Basic Characteristics of Smallholders and Technology Awareness Determines Small-Holders’ Willingness to Adopt Green Production Technology

As a collection of technologies that match the carrying capacity of resources and the environment, harmonize ecology and life, and balance the quantity and quality of agricultural products in agricultural production, green production technologies are regarded as an important means to help promote sustainable agricultural production. It includes scientific fertilization technology, water-saving irrigation technology, biological control technology, and conservation tillage technology. However, the smallholders’ low level of awareness and application of green production technology has become a key factor limiting the sustainable development of Chinese agriculture. Several technological innovations have been implemented to address these problems while many studies have been conducted on the smallholders’ willingness to adopt the technology. However, the correlation and the hierarchical structure among different factors are not clear. Therefore, to clarify these issues, we used the logit model and interpretative structural modeling (ISM) to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of green production technologies by smallholders and the hierarchical linkage between them based on a sample of 709 from 16 provinces in China. Our results revealed that scientific fertilization and biological control technology were most preferred by smallholders. Compared with wheat (38.8%, 43.2%) and maize (29.3%, 39.4%), rice smallholders (66.7%, 82.5%) were more willing to adopt the two technologies. In addition, the technology awareness and technology benefits were expected to significantly affect the smallholders’ willingness to adopt the technology directly. Household characteristics and land characteristics are the root factors affecting the smallholders’ willingness to adopt green production technology. Family characteristics and land characteristics also changed the willingness of smallholders to adopt green production technologies by changing their awareness of production technology and the technological benefits expected. Therefore, accelerating the promotion of green production technologies through the implementation of policies such as increasing the promotion of high-value-added agricultural products and cultivation techniques, increasing out-of-school knowledge education, and enhancing the construction of agricultural production infrastructure can be potentially viable ways to promote green transformation in agriculture. This study provides case support for increasing the smallholders’ adoption of green production technology.
