The main aim of this article is to comprehend the long-run relationship among sea transportation, energy use, GDP, and CO2 for USA from 1980 to 2023. In this sense, FMOLS, DOLS, CCR, and ARDL analyses are employed in order to investigate the entity of long-run linkage between the relevant variables. According to results of this manuscript, except energy use there is no both long-run relationship among variables and effects of independent variables (GDP, sea transportation) on dependent variable (CO2 emissions) from 1980 to 2023 in USA. Therefore, the sea transport-induced EKC hypothesis has not been confirmed empirically. Although the hypothesis has not been confirmed, there are some issues to consider in terms of energy consumption. Transportation energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are seen as an alarming threat to leaving a livable and sustainable green environment and economy to future generations. Fossil fuels used in transportation have an important place in carbon dioxide emissions. This is seen as a crucial environmental factor that all stakeholders should consider when planning energy and environmental policy decisions. In order to prevent environmental quality from being negatively affected by greenhouse gas and exhaust emissions, policy makers need to encourage more energy efficient and healthier transportation ways. Thus, the harmful effects of transportation energy consumption can be reduced as well.

“…To perform a preliminary comparison between the investigated processes in terms of CO2 emissions, we used conversion factors from the literature to determine CO2 emissions starting from fuel consumption (Zadek and Schulz, 2010). As to the emissions of diesel fuel, 1 litre of fuel produces approximately 2.8 kgCO2, whereas for electricity we used the current conversion factor of 0.31 kgCO2/kWh, which was estimated for this specific region (Corradi et al, 2019).…”

Plant nurseries usually control weed growth with N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine treatment. Some studies have suggested potential impacts of this treatment on both the environment and users. A possible ecological alternative is the use of ground wood particles for mulching. However, the production of the required wood particles for use in potted plants is challenging. In this article, the classical chipping and sieving process is compared with a new proposed process involving chipping and refining phases. The two processes were applied to wood logs (spruce) from the forests of the Tosco-Emiliano Apennine. The tests were performed over a week using the machinery available at the Mo.To.R.E. (Montagna Toscana Ricerca Energie) consortium. Although the results achieved were based on preliminary evaluations, they indicated the potential superiority of the new process in terms of both economic and ecological efficiency. These findings can pave the way to the development of optimized processes aimed at a significant reduction in the use of chemical herbicides for weed control.

“…In addition, databases for emission factors (e.g. HBEFA, GEMIS) provide data related to emissions of different air pollutants dependent on several variables such as vehicle or fuel type, different traffic situations and pitch attitudes [44]. These values form the base for emission calculations and carbon calculation tools.…”

Improving environmental performance of road transport through carbon reduction initiatives can be a demand challenge, in particular for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Whether existing carbon reduction potentials are effectively and efficiently uncovered largely depends on the availability of information as well as on how to make use of it. An often-observed problem is the lack of tools for SMEs to obtain useful carbon-related information from road transport. Against the background of a case study of the carbon-tracking tool CO2-Tec, this paper highlights the importance of decision-making information and demonstrates how carbon reduction potentials in road transportation can be uncovered for SMEs. Particular attention is paid to the information needs of the SMEs and how these needs can be fulfilled. The analysis of the results suggests a pattern of action that increases the efficacy and efficiency of information management and use in corporate practice.
