Sustainable mineral resource management is critical amid escalating environmental concerns and growing demand for minerals in digital and clean energy technologies. While financial technology (FinTech) has been widely recognized for enhancing financi...

This article provides a systematic review of the current research status and latest progress in the field of mine ecological restoration. Using the SCI literature indexed by the Web of Science database as the data source, the research status and hots...

Scandinavian erratic boulders in central Poland represent a significant element of the region’s geodiversity, fulfilling important natural, scientific, and cultural functions. As objects of high perceptual value, they integrate into the landsca...

The Amazon region’s rich biodiversity supports a bioindustry model that utilizes various biological assets from different plant species, and where it will add value to existing production chains, starting to supply bio industrialized products a...

There is a need for simultaneous attention to sustainability and resilience objectives while making energy decisions because of the need to address disruptions or shocks that can result from system-wide changes due to transitioning and existing threa...

Urban water management faces growing pressure from population growth, pollution, and climate variability, demanding innovative strategies to ensure long-term sustainability. This study applies the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) across fo...

Green coffee bean extracts (GCBEs) represent a promising alternative to improve ground beef’s microbial and oxidative stability. This study evaluated the content of bioactive metabolites, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of extracts o...

Lionfish is a predatory invasive species that endangers native species in the areas it colonizes. Hunting it is necessary to prevent this natural devastation while taking advantage of this unconventional natural source. The objective of this research...

Landslides are becoming increasingly frequent, intensified by extreme rainfall and human activities, and threaten ecosystems and livelihoods. In Nyomplong, West Java, they have displaced residents and damaged land, which is now repurposed for agrofor...

Hydrothermal processing has emerged as a promising clean technology for managing the substantial amounts of agro-industrial waste generated worldwide. This study aims to introduce a clean technology approach to biomass valorization processes by explo...

Using a relatively inexpensive method, phenol–cresol–formaldehyde resin (PhCR-F) was produced utilizing the byproducts of coal coking. It is shown that petroleum road bitumens, to which 1.0 wt.% PhCR-F is added, in terms of basic physical...

For the European Union in the field of raw material policy, it is primarily important to ensure reliable, seamless, and unrestricted access to raw materials in all EU countries. An important aspect in assessing the European Union’s raw material...

This study aims to optimize the production of biodiesel from Blighia sapida (Ackee) seed oil, a non-edible and underutilized feedstock, as a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-based diesel fuels. The transesterification of Blighia sapida...

This study was carried out at 10 randomly selected fringe villages of Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR) in the Terai region of West Bengal, India through personal interviews with 100 randomly selected respondents. The study documented 102 non-timber forest pr...

Agroecosystems play a key role in the global carbon cycle, with CO₂ exchange driven by photosynthesis and respiration. Indicators such as gross primary productivity (GPP), net primary productivity (NPP), and carbon, water, and light use efficiency (C...

Concrete and mortar production consumes significant natural resources, leading to environmental concerns and sustainability challenges. Sustainable alternatives, such as industrial byproducts, have been explored to replace clinkers and aggregates. Ba...

This study analyzes the economic impacts of integrating floating offshore wind farms with a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The idea is to replace the use of natural gas for power supply wit...
