a review-based methodological study

Published on 2026-10-14 by @OXFORD

Abstract: AbstractAs a methodological study grounded in a systematic literature review, this study addresses the decision-making challenges in the sustainable retrofitting of aging residential areas by proposing an integrated assessment model based on environmental, economic, and social dimensions. A literature review reveals that existing research predominantly focuses on single dimensions, lacking systematic integration of life-cycle benefits and social impacts. To address this gap, this study construct[...]


Our summary: This study proposes an integrated assessment model for sustainable retrofitting of aging residential areas. It combines life-cycle assessment, cost analysis, and social considerations into a multicriteria decision-making framework. The model facilitates structured trade-off analysis and enhances the quantitative assessment of social dimensions in retrofitting strategies.

Energy saving and emission reduction potential of electric and gasoline vehicles over their full life cycle

Published on 2026-08-11 by @OXFORD

Abstract: AbstractDue to the lack of a comprehensive evaluation of all stages in the full life cycle of vehicles, including material acquisition, material processing, and operational use, there is insufficient data assessment at various stages. This study proposes two methods, combining life cycle climate performance (LCCP) and hybrid life cycle assessment for electric vehicles, and using life cycle assessment for gasoline vehicles. The former utilizes LCCP to measure the impact of climate on the carbon e[...]


Our summary: This study evaluates the full life cycle of electric and gasoline vehicles, focusing on carbon emissions and energy use. It proposes methods combining life cycle climate performance and hybrid assessments for electric vehicles. Results indicate that different evaluation methods can enhance the understanding of vehicle emissions and promote greener production practices.

A Review on the Preparation, Properties, and Mechanism of Lignin-Modified Asphalt and Mixtures

Published on 2026-02-03 by Yu Luo, Guangning Ge, Yikang Yang, Xiaoyi Ban, Xuechun Wang, Zengping Zhang, Bo Bai @MDPI

Abstract: Lignin, an abundant and renewable biopolymer, holds significant potential for asphalt modification owing to its unique aromatic structure and reactive functional groups. This review summarizes the main lignin preparation routes and key physicochemical attributes and assesses its applicability for enhancing asphalt performance. The physical incorporation of lignin strengthens the asphalt matrix, improving its viscoelastic properties and resistance to oxidative degradation. These enhancements are [...]


Our summary: This review discusses the preparation and properties of lignin-modified asphalt (LMA). Lignin enhances asphalt s viscoelastic properties and resistance to degradation through cross-linking and antioxidant mechanisms. Future research should focus on large-scale tests and molecular interactions to optimize LMA performance.

A Life Cycle Perspective

Published on 2026-02-02 by Yitong Niu, Nicholas Starrett, Mardiana Idayu Ahmad, Sicheng Wang, Yunxiang Li, Ting Han @MDPI

Abstract: Second-generation bioethanol from food industry lignocellulosic residues offers a promising route toward low-carbon, circular bioenergy systems. However, the reported environmental impacts differ markedly across studies, challenging efforts to assess the true sustainability of these waste-derived bioethanol routes. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the production of bioethanol from key agro-industrial wastes including oil palm empty fruit bunches, sugarcane bagasse, brewers&amp;rs[...]


Our summary: This review analyzes second-generation bioethanol production from food industry lignocellulosic residues. It highlights the environmental impacts and methodological differences in life cycle assessments across various studies. Recommendations for harmonizing practices are provided to support sustainable bioethanol development within circular bioeconomies.
