Economic viability and CO2 emissions of hydrogen production for ammonia synthesis: A comparative analysis across Europe

Elsevier, Advances in Applied Energy, Volume 17, March 2025
This study compares traditional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and emerging water electrolysis methods (PEMEC and SOEC) for ammonia production, evaluating their economic viability and CO2 emissions under varying electricity prices and carbon intensities. Results show that PEMEC is most cost-effective at very low electricity prices, SOEC gains competitiveness as prices rise, and SMR is preferable above 0.08 €/kWhe, with CO2 emissions depending heavily on electricity carbon intensity; projections indicate SOEC will become highly cost-competitive by 2030–2040.

A work and off-work evaluation of female workers’ heat and particulate matter exposures and kidney health in Guatemala

Elsevier,

Journal of Climate Change and Health, Volume 22, 1 March 2025
This article examines the exposures and health impacts experienced by female sugarcane workers in Guatemala, focusing on heat stress, particulate matter exposure, and kidney function. The key findings indicate that these women face elevated levels of heat and particulate matter at work, leading to dehydration and reduced kidney function. The study highlights the need for gender-responsive interventions to address the unique health risks faced by women in agricultural settings.

Are healthier diets more sustainable? A cross-sectional assessment of 8 diet quality indexes and 7 sustainability metrics

Elsevier,

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Volume 121, February 2025
The article demonstrates that while healthier diets often align with reduced environmental impacts in several domains, significant trade-offs exist, particularly regarding water use and cost. Diet quality indexes that emphasize plant-based foods offer the most consistent sustainability benefits. However, no diet pattern is without drawbacks, underscoring the importance of nuanced, multidimensional assessments and the integration of nutrition and sustainability data to inform effective policy and clear public guidance.
