Waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies play a crucial role in sustainable waste management and energy production. Decision-making in this context requires a comprehensive and structured approach to balance the environmental, socio-economic, and technical dimensions. This systematic literature review aims to provide an overview of the applications of De...
This study investigated the embodied carbon (EC) emissions of stabilized laterite brick and
sancrete block buildings in the Ghanaian construction industry using a cradle-to-site life cycle
assessment (LCA) approach. The findings reveal that the embodied carbon footprint of laterite
brick is basically due to the cement content. An air-dried stabiliz...
Ghana's electricity generation mix does not include utility-scale wind power plants to contribute to its power supply. Thus, the country is yet to harness the potential benefits that wind energy could offer, such as diversification of the energy mix, promoting a low-carbon economy, and increasing power generation capacity. This study evaluated wind...
Traditional leafy vegetables have been noted to supply abundant amounts of minerals and to some extent calories and proteins which are vital to the alleviation of problems of malnutrition in developing countries. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of three different rates of application of cattle dung on growth parameters, proximate a...
Fossil fuels are a major contributor to climate change, and as the demand for energy production increases, alternative sources (e.g., renewables) are becoming more attractive. Kerosene and conventional solid fuels, which are used to cook, have detrimental effects on people's health, the environment, and the economy. This study seeks to explore the...
The population growth in the Ghanaian urban areas and the high energy consumption per unit area compared to the low solar energy capture by Photovoltaic (PV) systems makes solar PV energy systems investment an unattractive venture for most urban settlers. Because building architectures mostly do not incorporate solar PV systems in facility planning...
