The results show that GWPs of all scenarios affect the environment the most although POCP of dryer-incineration is high.
This is attributed to the larger weighting factor that the GWP has than the other potentials.
The results indicated that the GWP and rice yields increased with an increasing application rate of nitrogen fertilizer.
This comparison of three different food waste disposal scenarios found that the GWP of each scenario before the offset of generated electricity is around 211 kg of CO2-eq for anaerobic digestion, 259 kg of CO2-eq for co-digestion, and 342 kg of CO2-eq for dryer-incineration from 1 tonne of food waste, respectively, all based on the wet weight.
It was found that indirect GWPs of waste management could be large when comparing a range of waste management solutions.
We found that the GWPs were estimated to be 211 kg of CO2-eq for anaerobic digestion, 259 kg of CO2-eq for co-digestion, and 342 kg of CO2-eq for dryer-incineration from 1 tonne of food waste.
This study can help the program develop more robust criteria that ultimately reduce GWP and can provide guidance to manufacturers to strategically improve energy efficiency.
Comparing the environmental burden due to the infrastructure (pavement and safety barrier) and the traffic flow, it is evident that as for GWP and EP the two contributions are comparable.
The economic objective is measured by the net present value (NPV), and the environmental concern is measured using global warming potential (GWP) that follows the life cycle assessment procedures, which evaluates the gate-to-gate environmental impacts of hydrocarbon biofuels.
Altogether, our results indicated that polypeptides, especially GWP, could induce a Th1-type immune response against R. rickettsii infection, which might contribute to the rational design of peptide-based vaccines for RMSF.
