Thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment (THP) is increasingly integrated into sludge-to-energy systems to enhance energy recovery, yet its environmental performance remains uncertain because most life cycle assessments (LCAs) treat these systems as aggregated units, limiting the representation of process-level interactions an...

This study, based on an 11-year historical series (2014–2024) from a Brazilian municipality, evaluated the technical, environmental, and preliminary economic potential of energy recovery routes for circularity and decarbonization in municipal solid waste management within an emerging economy context. The mass flow was...

Decarbonising hard-to-abate transport sectors, including maritime shipping and heavy-duty land transport, requires sustainable and energy-dense alternatives to fossil fuels. Green methanol synthesised from biogas offers a promising low-carbon fuel option, providing a more sustainable methanol production pathway, establ...
The rising demand for low-carbon hydrogen has intensified interest in biogas-reforming as a renewable, decentralized alternative to fossil-based production. However, published assessments of the competing reforming routes rely on inconsistent system boundaries and assumptions, which prevents a reliable comparison betwe...

Plastic waste remains a major challenge for sustainable polymer science, requiring solutions that align with circular economy principles. This review provides a structured critical synthesis of comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) studies on waste management strategies, including mechanical recycling (MR), chemical...

The rapid expansion of battery-grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) production from brines raises increasing concerns about future environmental impacts, which must be assessed in alignment with project commissioning timelines. Here, we assess the life cycle climate change and water scarcity impacts for 24 operating and an...
