Geothermal energy is a widely available renewable energy source. In Croatia geological data has been indicating promising potential, especially in the NorthEastern part of the country with a geothermal gradient higher than 49°C/Km and terrestrial heat flux of 76 mW/m 2. Nonetheless, despite this potential, this resource is not highly exploited to date. Efficient use of geothermal energy can contribute on reducing Croatia's energy dependence. In this paper, a methodology of a possible integration of geothermal energy within residential, commercial and industrial systems was attempted. Pinch analysis was used to find the best ways to fulfil the energy system requirements in an efficient, clean and cost-effective way. The used approach gives a good overall picture of energy targets for process, site and utility levels. The recommendation for cost-effective integration of geothermal energy into regional energy network is considered by use of Pinch Analysis. Additional attention was paid to geothermal energy utilization in low enthalpy sedimentary environments. The obtained results can be used for integration of geothermal energy in different cases and "countries". It gives general recommendation for geothermal sources placement as well as for energy planning and regional sustainability.

“…If there is environmental unsustainability in terms of depletion of resources, the economic sustainability of a corporation connected to such a resource is in vain. For the transportation and logistics sector, in such a perspective, the resource availability of crude oil is of especially high importance as, in spite of many technology advances and political initiatives regarding the use of electric and liquefied natural gas (LNG) or other alternative propulsion systems, the diesel engine will still be a major element of transportation for at least 50 years to come [73][74][75]. Alas, transportation and logistics companies such as airlines will depend heavily on the availability and price development of crude oil as far as their economic value and Sustainability 2017, 9, 842 6 of 33 EBIT-The yearly corporate profit sustainability are concerned [76,77].…”

Do Forwarders Improve Sustainability Efficiency? Evidence from a European DEA Malmquist Index Calculation

Sustainability performance and efficiency is an important topic in transportation and for forwarders. This is shown, for example, by the fact that major logistics service providers LSP publish sustainability reports, often within the annual legal business report. However, in depth research is missing regarding the efficiency of forwarders regarding the established triple bottom line approach for sustainability, including economic, social, and ecology performance areas. This is especially true for a dynamic time-series perspective, as usually only static analyses for one point in time are presented (in most cases single business years). Therefore, the operations research technique of a data envelopment analysis (DEA) Malmquist index calculation is used in order to provide a longitudinal calculation of efficiency, incorporating multiple objectives regarding the triple bottom line approach for European forwarders. Several indicators are tested, including total revenues and assets as input types, profit (EBIT) and dividend volume (economic dimension), employment and gender equality in management (social), and carbon-equivalent emissions (environmental) as output types.

“…This method is widespread in process engineering and is usually utilised for the optimisation of industrial processes such as in [93], but its modifications can also be used in for example, the transport sector [94]. Here an extension of the Pinch Analysis is applied to 'industrial, residential, commercial, institutional and service energy systems' to maximise the incorporation and 'reuse of waste and low potential heat, including renewables to boost sustainability' in an approach called Locally Integrated Energy Sector (LIES) is overviewed in detail in [95].…”
