“…Average Net Calorific Value (1) Carbon Oxidation Rate (2) Carbon Emission Factor (3) CO 2 Emission Factor (4) Gasoline Based on the analyses, industrial sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen oxide (NO X ), and soot (powder) dust (PM) were selected to measure the industrial LAP emissions in this thesis. The collected data were processed, and the industrial LAP emissions were calculated with the following formula [24]:…”

“…The European Union's "Green Deal" is an ambitious plan to transform its member states into carbon-neutral economies by 2050. This plan addresses the energy transition, promotion of renewable energy, and industrial innovation [2]. Despite its energy-intensive industries, India is aggressively pursuing carbon reduction targets and investing in renewable energy and clean technologies for sustainable development [3].…”

“…This is insufficient to meet current development needs. (2) To date, the research on the factors that influence the reduction of pollution and carbon in the urban agglomerations of the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta has been inadequate. A further exploration of the YRD urban agglomeration is necessary, along with additional research on inter-provincial heterogeneity.…”

China is facing pressure to reduce carbon emissions and control pollution. Promoting the synergy between pollution reduction and carbon reduction has become an inevitable choice to achieve the construction of a beautiful China and meet the dual carbon target. This study examines the main factors influencing industrial pollution and carbon reduction in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomerations based on data on industrial CO2 and local air pollutants (LAP) from 2002 to 2021, using the random forest regression model. The results indicate that (1) industrial CO2 emissions have increased overall, while intensity has decreased. Additionally, both industrial LAP emissions and intensity have decreased. (2) The main factor influencing industrial CO2 and LAP emissions is the proportion of industrial value added above the scale. Additionally, the proportion of R&D internal expenditure in GDP and total trade imports and exports are the main influencing factors of industrial CO2 emissions. The industrial fume and dust removal rate mainly affects industrial LAP emissions. (3) There is a clear non-linear relationship between industrial CO2- and LAP-influencing factors and emissions, which can be attributed to the scale effect factor, the lagging effect of R&D expenditure, and the inappropriate treatment of the “three wastes” by relevant departments that is non-linear. The urban agglomerations of PRD and YRD should prioritize the reduction of carbon emissions, upgrading and transforming their industrial structures, promoting the impact of foreign trade on pollution and carbon reduction, and achieving a balance between sustainable economic development and environmental protection.

“…Globally, nations are actively crafting and implementing policies to regulate agricultural emissions. The European Union's Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy exemplify this trend, setting rigorous emission reduction targets while fostering sustainable agricultural methodologies [125]. In a similar vein, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforces air quality standards that significantly influence emission management in dairy farming [126].…”

In recent years, the Canadian dairy sector has faced escalating challenges due to its significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. This paper critically examines a spectrum of innovative techniques aimed at mitigating methane emissions within this sector, scrutinizing their cost-effectiveness, efficiency, compatibility with animal welfare standards, and adherence to both existing and prospective Canadian environmental legislations. The discourse begins with an exhaustive overview of contemporary methane reduction methodologies relevant to dairy farming, followed by a rigorous analysis of their economic feasibility. This includes a detailed cost-benefit analysis, juxtaposed with the efficiency and technological advancements these techniques embody. A pivotal aspect of this examination is the alignment of animal welfare with emission reduction objectives, ensuring that the strategies employed do not compromise the health and well-being of dairy cattle. Furthermore, the paper delves into the legislative landscape of Canada, evaluating the congruence of these techniques with current environmental laws and anticipating future regulatory shifts. Performance indicators for emission reduction are critically assessed, establishing benchmarks tailored to the Canadian context. This is complemented by an exploration of the market potential of these innovations, including factors influencing their adoption and scalability in the market. The analysis culminates with a synthesis of case studies and best practices within Canada, offering insights into successful implementations and drawing lessons for future endeavors. This comprehensive approach not only addresses the immediate environmental and health impacts associated with dairy farming emissions but also significantly contributes to the overarching goal of sustainable development in the agricultural sector. The research presented in this paper holds significant implications for the future of sustainable dairy farming, offering a model for addressing environmental challenges while maintaining economic viability and animal welfare.

“…The European Green Deal was set up to take account of pollution in the member states, suggest policies to the Governments to enact laws to achieve the goals of sustainable economic growth in the conditions of changing climatic conditions [1][2][3][4][5]. This initiative could improve circular economy in the implementing countries [6].The Net Zero emission concept includes that man should not impact climate and environment. However, to keep the rise in temperatures at check there should be zero emission by 2050 [7,8].…”

Certain contaminants are termed as emerging (Contaminants of Emerging Concern, CEC) since all aspects of these pollutants are not known and their regulation is not ununiform across the nations. The CECs include many classes of compounds that are used in various industries, plant protection chemicals, personal care products and medicines. They accumulate in waterbodies, soils, organisms including humans. They cause deleterious effects on plant animal and human health. Therefore, alternative greener synthesis of these chemicals, sustainable economic methods of waste disposal, scaling up and circular methods using sludge for removing the contaminants are innovative methods that are pursued. There are several improvements in chemical waste treatments using electro-oxidation coupled with solar energy, high performing recycled granular activated charcoal derived from biomass are few advances in the field. Similarly, use of enzymes from microbes for waste removals is a widely used technique for bioremediation. The organisms are genetically engineered to remove hazardous chemicals, dyes, and metals. Novel technologies for mining economically the precious and rare earth elements from e-waste can improve circular economy. However, there is additional need for participation of various nations in working towards greener Earth. There should be pollution awareness in local communities that can work along with Government legislations.
