TL;DR: In this article, the intricate relationship between CO2 emission, global warming, and climate change was explicitly explained, and CO2 mitigation strategies in selected industrial sectors such as power, cement, iron, and steel as well as the petrochemical industry were presented.
Abstract: This chapter discusses the concepts of CO2 emission, global warming, and climate change with an emphasis on their environmental impacts. Specifically, the chapter reviews different sources of atmospheric CO2 emissions and recent advances in the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. In this chapter, the intricate relationship between CO2 emission, global warming, and climate change was explicitly explained, and CO2 mitigation strategies in selected industrial sectors such as power, cement, iron, and steel as well as the petrochemical industry were presented. An overview of process integration concepts for energy minimization in environmental sustainability studies was highlighted. The current state of research in this field was reviewed, while future prospects in the application of process synthesis techniques to decrease the high energy and material requirement during CO2 capture were suggested. Finally, CO2 emission trend since the beginning of the first industrial revolution was discussed alongside current international treaties, limitations, and forecasts about greenhouse gas emission.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze some of the key characteristics of the development and organization of environmental entrepreneurship and explore in detail the concept of eco-entrepreneurship, as well as the key prospects for integrating environmental aspects into entrepreneurial activity as a whole.
Abstract: The growing awareness of environmental issues, such as the accelerated depletion of natural resources and declines in the quality of the environment, has led to the emergence of the concept of balanced (sustainable) development, which implies continual coordination with an equal focus on the following three key components of development – economic, social, and environmental. The purpose of this paper is to analyze some of the key characteristics of the development and organization of environmental entrepreneurship. The authors explore in detail the concept of environmental entrepreneurship. An expert survey was conducted to determine some of the key ideas for the development of environmental entrepreneurship, as well as some of the key prospects for integrating environmental aspects into entrepreneurial activity as a whole. Among the key areas for the development of environmental entrepreneurship listed in the paper are production of organic output, environmental construction, environmental tourism, and waste management and recycling. The authors provide an in-depth insight into some of the key principles and lines of activity on each of the areas mentioned.

TL;DR: The results reveal that the socio-environment is an important aspect underlying the corporate sustainability performance of high-tech firms and firms should enhance their pollution emission control capabilities and increase investment in energy-conservation and emission-reduction technologies to drive sustainable development.
Abstract: In light of the lack of subjective criteria and scientific rationality in current sustainability performance assessment, the purpose of this paper is conducted to improve the sustainability performance assessment of high-tech firms by developing a hybrid approach that integrates quantitative and qualitative research methods.,This study proposed a hybrid approach that integrates word frequency analysis, cluster analysis, grey theory and the decision-making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Specifically, this study identifies useful criteria using quantitative word frequency analysis as well as qualitative literature research. Then, cluster analysis is used to divide these criteria into different categories. Subsequently, this study applies the grey theory associated with the DEMATEL method to assess the sustainability performance of high-tech firms.,The results reveal that the socio-environment is an important aspect underlying the corporate sustainability performance of high-tech firms. Therefore, high-tech firms should enhance their pollution emission control capabilities and increase investment in energy-conservation and emission-reduction technologies to drive sustainable development. In addition, increasing green product sales revenue and improving the guiding capability of green consumption are core issues that firms must address.,This study assesses the sustainability performance of high-tech firms by applying a hybrid method. This method can be used to construct a framework for scientific sustainability performance assessment and to provide a clear direction for the sustainable development of firms.
