Application of photovoltaic system to modify energy use, environmental damages and cumulative exergy demand of two irrigation systems-A case study: Barley production of Iran
Hassan Ghasemi-Mobtaker,Fatemeh Mostashari-Rad,Zahra Saber,Kwok Wing Chau,Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated the application of photovoltaic (PV) system as an alternative clean energy supplier to achieve energy-environmental sustainability under two irrigation methods, namely, surface irrigation (SFI) and sprinkler irrigation (SPI) in barley cultivation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-objective optimization of energy use and environmental emissions for walnut production using imperialist competitive algorithm
Majid Khanali,Asadollah Akram,Javad Behzadi,Fatemeh Mostashari-Rad,Zahra Saber,Kwok Wing Chau,Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the assessment of energy flow, environmental emissions of walnut orchards in Alborz province of Iran and their simultaneous optimization by multi-objective imperialist competitive algorithm are the main goals of this investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exergoenvironmental-Life cycle cost analysis for conventional, low external input and organic systems of rice paddy production
Zahra Saber,Mohammadali Esmaeili,Hemmatollah Pirdashti,Ali Motevali,Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess of exergoenvironmental aspects across different paddy production systems, including conventional (CS), low external input (LEI), and organic systems (OS) in Iran.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospects of solar systems in production chain of sunflower oil using cold press method with concentrating energy and life cycle assessment
Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei,Hossein Azadi,Hossein Azadi,Steven Van Passel,Zahra Saber,Fatemeh Hosseini-Fashami,Fatemeh Mostashari-Rad,Hassan Ghasemi-Mobtaker +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the exergoenvironmental efficiency for using solar technologies in sunflower oil production in Iran and showed that the photovoltaic scenario is the best environmental-friendly scenario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding farm-level differences in environmental impact and eco-efficiency: The case of rice production in Iran
Zahra Saber,Zahra Saber,Rosalie van Zelm,Hemmatollah Pirdashti,Aafke M. Schipper,Mohammadali Esmaeili,Ali Motevali,Ashkan Nabavi-Pelesaraei,Mark A. J. Huijbregts +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed differences in eco-efficiency between 200 paddy farms in Iran with multiple linear regression modeling, and assessed the influences of farming system (conventional, limited input, organic) and yield on economic profit per unit of impact on ecosystems (terrestrial, freshwater, marine) and human health.
