“…Process integration methodologies, such as pinch analysis or mathematical programming, have been successful in providing answers and support for essential economic development, better utilization and savings schemes, and have been widely used [23]. The focus of this paper is to make a general forecasting study on the relation of global plastic production with CO 2 emission by 2050 using carbon emission pinch analysis (CEPA).…”

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission will increase due to the increasing global plastic demand. Statistical data shows that plastic production alone will contribute to at least 20% of the annual global carbon budget in the near future. Hence, several alternative methods are recommended to overcome this problem, such as bio-product synthesis. Algae consist of diverse species and have huge potential to be a promising biomass feedstock for a range of purposes, including bio-oil production. The convenient cultivation method of algae could be one of the main support for algal biomass utilization. The aim of this study is to forecast and outline the strategies in order to meet the future demand (year 2050) of plastic production and, at the same time, reduce CO 2 emission by replacing the conventional plastic with bio-based plastic. In this paper, the analysis for 25%, 50% and 75% CO 2 reduction has been done by using carbon emission pinch analysis. The strategies of biomass utilization in Malaysia are also enumerated in this study. This study suggested that the algal biomass found in Malaysia coastal areas should be utilized and cultivated on a larger scale in order to meet the increasing plastic demand and, at the same time, reduce carbon footprint. Some of the potential areas for macroalgae sea-farming cultivation in Sabah coastline (Malaysia), comprised of about 3885 km 2 (388,500 ha) in total, have been highlighted. These potential areas have the potential to produce up to 14.5 million tonnes (Mt)/y of macroalgae in total, which can contribute 370 Mt of phenol for bioplastic production.

“…CEPA is a Pinch Analysis (PA) procedure for identifying the minimum number of low-or zerocarbon energy sources needed to achieve the specified emission limit/target (Tan & Foo, 2007). CEPA methodology has been further extended and applied to the analysis of energy sectors in the Philippines (Foo et al, 2008), Ireland (Crilly & Zhelev, 2008), New Zealand (Atkins et al, 2010), the USA (Walmsley et al, 2015), China (Jia et al, 2016), Nigeria (Salman et al, 2019) and other countries. It has also been applied to systems at different scales, extended through the use of alternative metrics and footprints, and has been integrated with Input-Output Analysis to include economic aspects (Tan et al, 2017).…”

2nd International Conference on : Technologies &Amp; Business Models for Circular Economy: Conference Proceedings

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The 2 nd International Conference on Technologies & Business Models for Circular Economy (TBMCE) was devoted to presentations of circular economy concepts, technologies and methodologies that contribute to the shift of business entities and society as a whole to a more responsible, circular management of resources. In the framework of TBMCE 2019, we presented the Strategic Research and Innovative Partnership -Network for the Transition to Circular Economy (SRIP-CE) as a platform for establishing a successful long-term public-private partnership. The conference program included panel discussions, plenary and keynote sessions, oral and poster presentations on the following topics: Sustainable energy, Biomass and alternative raw materials, Circular business models, Secondary raw materials and functional materials, ICT in Circular Economy, Processes and technologies. TBMCE 2019 was organized by Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Maribor and held in Portorož, Slovenia at the Grand Hotel Bernardin from October 24th to October 25th, 2019. The event was under the patronage of Ministry of Economic Development and Technology.

“…In addition to the problematics of RE in Nigeria is the low costs of investment but higher costs of maintenance which have resulted in the low development of renewable energy strategies and products in Nigerian households [40]. Therefore, any reforms made on the power sectors and RE should play a major role towards the economic growth of the Nigerian economy [45]. The problem of adopting RE becomes intractable as the Nigerian economy has faced tremendous population boom, and half of the population do not have access to electricity supplies which has stretched the supplies of power and soared the emissions of carbon to certain breaking point.…”

Our research focuses on the Synthesis for Energy Development of Sustainable Policy for Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) based on Consumer Behaviour (CB) in the Global South (GS):A Case Study of Nigeria. The knowledge and the need of sustainable energy is evolving globally and so is evidence of increase consumption as long as the energy is available and affordable to the citizens. It has been positioned that Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) should adopt a step-by-step approach to understand consumer behaviour when making an argument for sustainable energy. It has further been established that when structuring environmental values in sustainability debate, it is paramount to apply IMC to spread awareness. There exists laxity on issues such as consumer willingness, awareness, buying decision, knowledge gap, environmental benefits, costing (operation, installation and maintenance) of alternative energy products. This paper argues for the need for adopting the established five phases comprising of "behaviour selection, user orientation, communication, Product, Price, Place, and Promotion). The discussion in the paper argues that the economic development of Nigeria's future depends on the longterm availability of affordable, open and harmless energy for the ecosystem, and that security, climate change and general well-being are closely related to the underpinning energy policy. It further argues for the need for sustainable energy policy in electricity generation capacity, grid connection, electricity transmission, while highlighting the limited range of alternative energy generation. The paper concludes that alternative energy, energy efficiency, asset analysis and valuations are prerequisite to determine the energy potential of Nigeria in her pursuit for sustainable development under the right policy regime. Finally, the paper recommends the promotion and awareness of alternative energies and energy efficiency leveraging on global partnerships for finance and creative alliance. Given the differences in cultural, economic and lifestyle of over 200 million Nigerians, future work will include collection of exhaustive primary data using a survey questionnaire and analytical tools i.e. IBM SPSS. elements of intervention and measurement of behavioural changes". Given the dynamics of Consumer Behaviour (CB) in the selection of energy products and the awareness created by IMC, the paper proposes the use of both positivism (deductive) and interpretivism (inductive) as a research philosophy while recognising the limitations imposed by data collection and reliability in the Global South (GS). This paper builds on the inadequacy and inability of the hitherto existing CB theories to adequately explain what drives consumer decision process to buy a product or service, by offering the practiced and tested 4Ps of marketing (that is
