New Viewpoint of Low-Carbon Economy Based on Green Materials and Processes via Systematic Review and Simulation Practices: Life Cycle Assessment, Energy Management, and Policymaking
摘要
Efficiently utilizing clean and renewable energies, green fuels and materials, and reuse-recycle processes are the cornerstones of a sustainable environment based on low-carbon circular economy. Joining modeling to research in the field of sustainability has been an accelerator towards a low-carbon world, which is discussed in this article. In beginning sections, factors affecting the sustainability of environment have been reviewed in terms of physical environment, constructions, energy, and green materials; however, it seems that green and low-carbon materials are entrenched in all four sectors. A combination of existing factors should be considered to design effective realistic models. In the following sections, by applying simulation practices in MATLAB
