End-of-life (EoL) management of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) presents significant environmental and safety challenges. We estimated Japan’s EoL portable LIB generation and assessed the effectiveness of its collection systems. A survey of 33 electrical and electronic equipment categories found that 82 % of them contained LIBs, with many incorporating built-in batteries, leading to disposal in inappropriate waste streams. In 2020, approximately 8160 tonnes of EoL LIBs were generated, with six key categories—smartphones, laptops, tablets, cordless vacuum cleaners, power banks, and motor-assisted bicycles. Although Japan’s official collection schemes cover 77 % of EoL generation, only 14 % is actually collected. Possible paths for the rest 86 % include disposal in municipal solid waste, export with secondhand products, and untracked collections from businesses. Even considering these, however, the destination of nearly 40 % of EoL LIBs remains unknown, highlighting the need to identify remaining flows to enhance collection frameworks that ensure sustainable resource management and safe disposal.

锂离子电池（lib）的寿命终止（EoL）管理提出了重大的环境和安全挑战。我们估计了日本的EoL便携式LIB生成，并评估了其收集系统的有效性。一项针对33种电气和电子设备类别的调查发现，82%的产品含有锂电池，其中许多产品内置电池，导致其被丢弃在不适当的废物流中。2020年，大约有8160吨的EoL lib被生产出来，主要有六个类别——智能手机、笔记本电脑、平板电脑、无线吸尘器、移动电源和电动辅助自行车。尽管日本官方的收集计划覆盖了77%的EoL发电量，但实际上只收集了14%。其余86%的可能途径包括城市固体废物处理，二手产品出口，以及企业无追踪收集。然而，即使考虑到这些，近40%的EoL lib的目的地仍然未知，这突出表明需要确定剩余的流量，以加强收集框架，确保可持续的资源管理和安全处置。

High-resolution spatiotemporal column-averaged CO₂ (XCO₂) data is essential for understanding anthropogenic carbon emissions, but current satellite limitations hinder detailed analysis. To address this, we develop the Spatial-Temporal Attention XCO₂ Network (STAXN) to improve prediction accuracy by capturing spatial-temporal variability and multiscale influences of auxiliary variables. Monte Carlo validation demonstrates robust performance, with an RMSE of 0.90 ppm and an R² of 0.97. Using this model, we generate a 1-km resolution daily XCO₂ dataset for China (2015–2020) and analyze XCO₂ anomaly patterns. Seasonal XCO₂ anomalies peak in summer and winter, with nighttime light exhibiting strong positive effects (β = 0.134, 0.107), and GPP exerting the most substantial adverse influence in winter (β = −0.200). The centroid trajectories of XCO₂ anomalies exhibit consistent seasonal shifts, shaped by regional disparities in carbon efficiency, industrial structure, and emission intensity. These findings offer valuable insights into China’s carbon emission dynamics, informing policy and management strategies.

高分辨率时空柱平均CO2 （XCO2）数据对于了解人为碳排放至关重要，但目前卫星的限制阻碍了详细分析。为了解决这一问题，我们开发了时空关注XCO2网络（STAXN），通过捕获辅助变量的时空变异性和多尺度影响来提高预测精度。蒙特卡罗验证显示了稳健的性能，RMSE为0.90 ppm， R²为0.97。利用该模型，我们生成了中国（2015-2020）1 km分辨率的XCO2日数据集，并分析了XCO2异常模式。季节XCO2异常在夏季和冬季达到峰值，其中夜间光照表现出较强的正向影响（β = 0.134, 0.107），而GPP在冬季的不利影响最大（β = - 0.200）。碳效率、产业结构和排放强度的区域差异决定了XCO2异常质心轨迹呈现出一致的季节变化。这些发现为了解中国的碳排放动态提供了有价值的见解，为政策和管理策略提供了信息。

The transparency, standardization, and comparability of LCA data remain global challenges for quantifying and reducing the carbon footprint of the steel industry. To address these issues, the transparent and standardized Tiangong Steel Datasets provide development framework for China’s steel sector. The datasets were compiled through a systematic process involving comprehensive literature review, snowball sampling, expert validation, and data extraction. They provide process-level information on energy use, material inputs, and emissions across three major steelmaking routes: BF-BOF, DRI-EAF, and Scrap-EAF. Each dataset includes explicit definitions of system boundary, functional unit, allocation rule, and temporal-spatial coverage, ensuring methodological consistency. Statistical and correlation analyses reveal the relationships between raw material consumption and CO₂ emissions, highlighting key emission drivers and efficiency gaps among production routes. By unifying modeling boundaries and calculation methods, the datasets improve the credibility and international comparability of product carbon footprint, support integration with carbon trading and export compliance, and provide a foundation for China’s low-carbon steel transition.

LCA数据的透明度、标准化和可比性仍然是量化和减少钢铁行业碳足迹的全球性挑战。为了解决这些问题，透明、标准化的天工钢铁数据集为中国钢铁行业提供了发展框架。这些数据集是通过综合文献综述、滚雪球抽样、专家验证和数据提取等系统过程编制的。它们提供了三个主要炼钢路线（BF-BOF、DRI-EAF和Scrap-EAF）的能源使用、材料投入和排放的过程级信息。每个数据集包括系统边界、功能单元、分配规则和时空覆盖的明确定义，确保了方法的一致性。统计和相关分析揭示了原材料消耗与二氧化碳排放之间的关系，突出了主要排放驱动因素和生产路线之间的效率差距。通过统一建模边界和计算方法，提高了产品碳足迹的可信度和国际可比性，支持与碳交易和出口合规的整合，为中国低碳钢转型提供基础。

An accurate understanding of the dynamic distribution of offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is essential for effective offshore wind planning and management. However, existing methods often fail to adequately consider or utilize the multidimensional characteristics of OWTs, which limits their accuracy and efficiency. In this study, a knowledge-guided strategy is employed to optimize OWT detection. By analyzing the physical, spatial, and geometric properties of OWTs, we propose a novel knowledge-guided framework that integrates deep learning and satellite imagery to achieve accurate and efficient generation of long-term OWT products. The framework achieved an average F1-score of 99.43 % in multi-temporal tests, overcoming the need for extensive post-processing. We further revealed the spatiotemporal patterns of OWTs in China across multiple perspectives and scales from 2015 to 2023, and explored the influences of policies and meteorological-geographical factors to inform future site selection. These findings provide valuable insights for the sustainable development of offshore wind power.

准确了解海上风力发电机组的动态分布对有效的海上风电规划和管理至关重要。然而，现有的方法往往没有充分考虑或利用owt的多维特性，限制了其准确性和效率。本研究采用知识引导策略对OWT检测进行优化。通过分析OWT的物理、空间和几何特性，我们提出了一种新的知识引导框架，该框架将深度学习和卫星图像相结合，以实现准确高效的长期OWT产品生成。该框架在多时间测试中平均f1得分达到99.43%，克服了大量后处理的需要。在此基础上，我们进一步揭示了2015 - 2023年中国多视角、多尺度的时空格局，并探讨了政策和气象地理因素对未来选址的影响。这些发现为海上风力发电的可持续发展提供了有价值的见解。

Herein, we show a bioinspired nitrogen-rich covalent organic framework (COF_TGTp) with high acid stability and excellent radiation resistance in simulated high-level liquid waste (HLLW). It exhibits the intriguing local self-adaptive behavior to precisely recognize Pd²⁺ in 3 M HNO₃, achieving a high adsorption capacity (317.4 mg g^-1) and >99.98% recovery efficiency. Importantly, even in 17 competing ions, the COF_TGTp still shows the remarkable Pd²⁺ selectivity and outstanding K_d value. EXAFS results disclose that the Pd²⁺ confined in COF_TGTp interlayer displays the unsymmetrical Pd-N₂ single-site pattern. Noticeably, the Pd²⁺-confined COF_TGTp obtained from HLLW effectively drives O₂-to-H₂O₂ photosynthesis (3002 µmol g^-1 h^-1). The mechanism studies confirm that the unsymmetrical Pd-N₂ site favors the formation of key *HOOH intermediate. The recovery of Pd from HLLW to make a photocatalyst is proposed for the first time, which may stimulate the research into the design of novel COFs to upcycle metal waste into functional, catalytic materials.

在此，我们在模拟高放废液（HLLW）中展示了一种具有高酸稳定性和优异耐辐射性的富氮共价有机骨架（COFTGTp）。在3 M HNO3中精确识别Pd2+，具有良好的局部自适应行为，吸附量高达317.4 mg g-1，回收率高达99.98%。重要的是，即使在17个竞争离子中，COFTGTp仍然表现出显著的Pd2+选择性和出色的Kd值。EXAFS结果表明，限制在COFTGTp层中的Pd2+表现出不对称的Pd-N2单位点模式。值得注意的是，从HLLW中获得的Pd2+限制性COFTGTp有效地驱动了o2 - h2o2的光合作用（3002µmol g-1 h-1）。机理研究证实，Pd-N2位点的不对称有利于关键*HOOH中间体的形成。本文首次提出了从高废渣中回收Pd制备光催化剂的方法，这可能会激发新型COFs的设计研究，从而将金属废物升级为功能催化材料。

Demand-side emission reduction is crucial yet often overlooked due to fragmented policies lacking balance between equity and efficiency. This study proposes a data-driven behavioral nudging framework based on the Equitable Electricity Efficiency (EEE) index, which quantifies household saving potential under social and environmental constraints while preserving welfare. EEE is estimated through a multi-method pipeline combining Meta-Frontier Analysis, ANN-DEA, SFA (Battese-Coelli, 1988), and Three-Stage DEA, identifying inefficiencies, distortions, and fairness-adjusted gaps. Analysis of large-scale Chinese household electricity data shows an average EEE of 70 %, implying a recoverable potential of 26.5 %–31.5 %, equal to 72.12 billion kWh and 5.66 million tons of CO₂ annually. Results reveal nonlinear patterns: middle-income, moderately aware households have the highest untapped efficiency; affluent users respond less; disadvantaged groups face structural barriers. Embedding fairness into nudges offers a scalable, interpretable, and inclusive path for equity-aware demand-side management and just energy transition.

需求侧减排至关重要，但由于缺乏公平与效率之间的平衡，零散的政策往往被忽视。本研究提出了一个基于公平电力效率（EEE）指数的数据驱动的行为推动框架，该框架量化了社会和环境约束下的家庭储蓄潜力，同时保持了福利。EEE是通过结合Meta-Frontier Analysis、ANN-DEA、SFA （Battese-Coelli, 1988）和三阶段DEA的多方法管道来估计的，以确定低效率、扭曲和公平调整的差距。对中国大规模家庭用电数据的分析显示，平均EEE为70%，可回收潜力为26.5% ~ 31.5%，相当于每年721.2亿千瓦时和566万吨二氧化碳。结果显示出非线性模式：中等收入、中等意识家庭的未开发效率最高；富裕用户的反应较少；弱势群体面临结构性障碍。将公平嵌入到推动中，为公平意识的需求侧管理和公正的能源转型提供了一条可扩展、可解释和包容的道路。

Mealworms are a potential alternative protein source, offering the potential to reduce environmental impacts while meeting nutritional demands. The objective of this study was to investigate the environmental impacts of a large-scale mealworm production in Germany as food, incorporating nutritional value into the assessment. To achieve this, a nutritional life cycle assessment (nLCA) was performed considering Nutrition Rich Food index (NRF) with OpenLCA and Environment Footprint 3.1. The findings suggest that mealworms offer environmental advantages over conventional animal-based foods across most assessed impact categories. For instance, when adjusting for nutritional quality with NRF9.3, their climate change impact appears substantially lower than that of animal products, while contributing less to the intake of nutrients to be limited. These results highlight the potential of mealworms as a sustainable alternative to traditional animal-based foods, offering a promising solution to reduce environmental impacts while delivering a balanced and adequate nutrient profile.

粉虫是一种潜在的替代蛋白质来源，有可能在满足营养需求的同时减少对环境的影响。本研究的目的是调查德国大规模生产粉虫作为食物对环境的影响，并将营养价值纳入评估。为了实现这一目标，采用OpenLCA和环境足迹3.1进行营养生命周期评估（nLCA），考虑营养丰富食品指数（NRF）。研究结果表明，在大多数评估的影响类别中，粉虫比传统的动物性食物更具环境优势。例如，当用NRF9.3调整营养质量时，它们对气候变化的影响明显低于动物产品，而对营养摄入的贡献较小。这些结果突出了粉虫作为传统动物性食品的可持续替代品的潜力，提供了一种有希望的解决方案，可以减少对环境的影响，同时提供均衡和充足的营养成分。

The findings suggest that mealworms offer environmental advantages over conventional animal-based foods across most assessed impact categories. For instance, when adjusting for nutritional quality with NRF9.3, their climate change impact appears substantially lower than that of animal products, while contributing less to the intake of nutrients to be limited. These results highlight the potential of mealworms as a sustainable alternative to traditional animal-based foods, offering a promising solution to reduce environmental impacts while delivering a balanced and adequate nutrient profile.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21153,"journal":{"name":"Resources Conservation and Recycling","volume":"227 ","pages":"Article 108759"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145813866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coal-burning heating in China has long contributed to severe air pollution and high energy consumption. China launched the Northern Clean Heating Policy (CHPP) in 2017 to promote a shift to clean energy for heating. Using a multi-period DID model with panel data from 2014 to 2022, this study assesses the impact of CHPP on carbon emission intensity (CEI) and sulfur dioxide emission intensity (SEI). Results show that CHPP significantly reduces CEI and SEI. Four mediating variables, including total and average levels of government environmental attention and clean energy consumption, play key roles in the effectiveness of the policy. The effect is more notable in cities with higher temperatures, lower resource dependence, lower energy consumption, classification in the second pilot wave, key governance regions, and dispersed spatial layouts. As a sustainable development strategy, CHPP promotes green development through clean heating, providing valuable practical references for global environmental protection and the sustainable energy transition.

长期以来，中国的燃煤供暖造成了严重的空气污染和高能耗。2017年，中国启动了北方清洁供暖政策（CHPP），以促进向清洁能源供暖的转变。利用2014 - 2022年面板数据的多期DID模型，评估了CHPP对碳排放强度（CEI）和二氧化硫排放强度（SEI）的影响。结果表明，CHPP显著降低了CEI和SEI。政府环境关注度和清洁能源消费的总水平和平均水平四个中介变量对政策的有效性起关键作用。在温度较高、资源依赖程度较低、能耗较低、第二波试点分类、重点治理区域和空间布局分散的城市中，这种效应更为显著。热电联产作为一种可持续发展战略，通过清洁供热促进绿色发展，为全球环境保护和能源可持续转型提供了宝贵的实践参考。

Anaerobic digestion of organic waste generates substantial amounts of dissolved methane (CH₄) and nitrogen source, presenting both environmental challenges and opportunities for resource recovery. This study produces single-cell protein (SCP) by utilizing CH₄ as carbon sources in a CH₄-based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). Over 270 days of continuous operation, the reactor achieved highly efficient nitrogen removal and SCP production. Results demonstrated that nitrate was a more effective nitrogen source than ammonia for SCP synthesis, achieving SCP yields of 3.3 g/g N and 1.2 g/g CH₄ with protein content exceeding 50%. The addition of acetate alleviated ammonia inhibition, and increased SCP yield to 5.7 g/g N. Metagenomic analysis identified Methylocystis played key roles in methane oxidation and SCP biosynthesis. Life cycle assessment revealed a carbon footprint of 1.25 kg CO₂-eq/kg for CH₄-based SCP. Using CH₄ from waste anaerobic digestate avoided 10.2 kg CO₂-eq/kg emissions.

有机废物的厌氧消化产生大量的溶解甲烷（CH4）和氮源，对环境提出了挑战，同时也为资源回收带来了机遇。本研究利用CH4作为碳源，在基于CH4的膜生物膜反应器（MBfR）中生产单细胞蛋白（SCP）。经过270天的连续运行，该反应器实现了高效的脱氮和SCP生产。结果表明，在SCP合成中，硝态氮是比氨更有效的氮源，SCP的产率为3.3 g/g N和1.2 g/g CH4，蛋白质含量超过50%。添加乙酸减轻了氨抑制作用，使SCP产量提高到5.7 g/g n。宏基因组分析发现，甲基藻在甲烷氧化和SCP生物合成中起关键作用。生命周期评估显示，基于ch4的SCP的碳足迹为1.25 kg co2当量/kg。利用厌氧废液中的CH4可避免10.2 kg co2当量/kg的排放。
