“…As the world's largest emitter of GHGs, China has to positively confront this problem. For example, it was forecast that China's GHG emissions would reach a startling value of 11.4 billion metric tons in 2030 without any emission reduction constraints (Xiao et al 2014). Moreover, it was reported that approximately 83% of the total GHGs had arisen from the industrial department of China (Zhang and Liu 2014).…”

“…According to the latest evaluation the China Association of Building Energy Efficiency (CABEE, 2016), the building sector consumed 20% of China's total energy, which is approximately 15% of the energy consumption by the global building sector, and this percentage is still growing (Xiao et al, 2014). To curb this rising trend, Chinese government thus formulated a series of polices.…”

Solar thermal energy is considered a 'clean' form of energy; however, environmental impacts occur during its life-cycle. The present work compares the environmental performance of two scenarios: a solar thermal system for providing domestic hot water (DHW) used in conjunction with a traditional natural gas heating system, and the natural gas heating system on its own. Weak points are found and different eco-design scenarios are evaluated in order to achieve a more circular economy. In addition, the authors explore what would be the national Greenhouse Gas emission reduction potential of a wider use of domestic solar hot water systems (DSHW) in China's and Spain's built environment. In this case, five displacement methods are suggested to show how the emissions reduction vary. Through a review of the state of the art and a Life Cycle Assessment of a solar system the two scenarios are assessed. Some impact categories, such as global warming, suggest a markedly better performance of the solar system (-65%). However, weak points in the solar solution have been identified as there is an increase of impacts in cases such as acidification (+6%) and eutrophication (+61%), mostly due to the metals used. The components with higher environmental impact are the collector, the tank, and the copper tubes. The reduction of national emissions by promoting DSHW depends on the actual displaced technology/ies. The consequences on national emissions reduction depending on these choices are assessed. The potential reduction of emissions, if 30% of the DHW were covered with solar sources, would be between 0.38% and 0.50% in the case of Spain and between 0.12% and 0.63% in China.

“…The first trend concerns implementing new technologies and innovation into production processes that are aimed at cost reduction and efficiency optimization [23,24]. The second trend concentrates on the role of products' and processes' quality [25][26][27] in cost management, and the third trend associates environmental protectio issues, such as carbon dioxide emissions and renewable resources production, with the problem of cost and efficiency optimization [28][29][30][31]. Each of these research areas focuses on a process approach [32,33] and analyze costs and efficiency related to product lifecycle management [34,35].…”

The primary aim of this article is to examine financial efficiency and work productivity, as well as their determinants, in selected Polish coal mines in 1998–2015. To achieve this goal, after introducing a justification for the choice of subject and the literature studies, the research methodology is presented, and research results are subsequently described and analyzed. Next, based on the main conclusions, model regularities and policy implications regarding efficiency and productivity improvement in Polish coal mining enterprises are established. The research for this study was conducted in five Polish coal mines, which were chosen on the basis of criteria aimed at ensuring the results’ comparability and the stability of organizational and mining conditions in the analyzed research period.
