Evaluating the sustainability of Ecuadorian bananas: Carbon footprint, water usage and wealth distribution along the supply chain
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the environmental impacts of banana production in Ecuador and found that the agricultural sector is a major contributor to climate change, and also to water consumption and pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residential water and energy nexus for conservation and management: A case study of Tianjin
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed water-related energy use by studying water end-use data from 504 households and considering family-related impact and technical factors of water appliances, which indicated saving water could lead to saving energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Optimized Scheduling of Micro Grids via Dispatching Virtual Electricity Storage Offered by Deferrable Power-Driven Demands
TL;DR: Numerical results show that the proposed method can reduce the total cost of micro-grids by maximizing the usage of renewable energy sources, avoiding price spikes, and reducing dependence on high-cost centralized energy-storage facilities provided that the critical water-energy demands are preserved.
