Dataset for "Sustainable Disposal and End-of-Life Treatment of Battery Energy Storage Systems: An Environmental and Economic Case Study"
This study investigates the environmental and economic impacts of end-of-life (EOL) treatment for a 2.8 MWh/2.5 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) based on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). It focuses on recycling pre-treatment processes for battery systems and recycling procedures for components like cooling systems, fire extinguishing systems, inverters, and the reuse of BESS containers and substations. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate key environmental impacts, including climate change, eutrophication, and resource use. The study reveals substantial environmental benefits, particularly from recovering secondary materials like aluminium and copper, with recycling pre-treatment contributing significantly to overall benefits. Additionally, the economic analysis projects profits, emphasizing the advantages of locally sourcing critical raw materials. The research highlights the need for more sustainable recycling practices and provides insights for improving environmental and economic strategies in BESS management, offering guidance for future research and policy development in battery waste processing.

We developed a multi-objective framework of spatial optimization for priority areas that considers environmental justice. We employed the priority areas (i.e., residential districts, socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, hotspot regions, and opportunity areas), ECOSTRESS-based LST, actual evapotranspiration (ETa, as a proxy to water use), Landsat-based LST and ETa changes (2000–2020), and the evaporative stress index (ESI). These datasets are used to identify the priority areas in which environmental conditions need to be improved seriously and (2) spatially optimize the placement of new green space (tree %, grass %) in the priority areas to realize the most significant LST reduction and minimum OWU. We provide the results of the new green space configurations with the scenarios for the percentage of new vegetation coverage (including trees and grass) overall increased to 25%, 35%, and 45% within the entire study areas, residential districts, socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, and hotspot regions.</p> <table> <caption>The dataset summarization</caption> <tbody> <tr> <td>Category</td> <td>Dataset</td> <td>Resolution</td> <td>Source/method</td> <td>Time</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer daytime LST</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer nighttime LST</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer ETa</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer ESI</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental change database</td> <td>Trends of summer LST changes</td> <td>30m</td> <td>Landsat-based Statistical Mono-Window algorithm</td> <td>2000-2020</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental change database</td> <td>Trends of summer ETa changes</td> <td>30m</td> <td>Landsat-based Simplified Surface Energy Balance</td> <td>2000-2020</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The results of new green space configurations</td> <td>The spatial distributions of new green space</td> <td>--</td> <td>Spatial optimization</td> <td>--</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>note: LULC: Land use and land cover; LST: Land Surface Temperature; ETa: Actual Evapotranspiration; ESI: Evaporative Stress Index</p> <p>We provide the different scenarios in shapefile format for spatial distributions of new space configurations.

<p>This database encompasses 18 elements and details over 400 high entropy alloys (HEAs), Ni-based superalloys, and steels, providing an extensive review of their properties and capabilities. To assess the broader implications of these materials, we have developed nine indicators that evaluate their economic, environmental, and human health impacts. Each indicator is meticulously described, including the methods used for their calculation. This data has been compiled with the goal of integrating considerations of societal impact into the alloy design process, thereby promoting the development of materials that are not only innovative but also socially responsible.</p>
Data for the paper, "Social media data for environmental sustainability: a critical review of opportunities, threats and ethical use"
<p>These data were collected for the paper, "Social media data for environmental sustainability: a critical review of opportunities, threats and ethical use" published in One Earth. It includes a database of studies applying social media data in environmental sustainability research, which were collected and reviewed in full by the authors. Rather than providing a comprehensive summary of all relevant literature like in a systematic review, our objective was to take stock and evaluate the previous body of work in the field in order to promote conceptual innovation from its critical examination. Building on a set of 169 studies collected in a previous systematic review of social media data applications in environmental research (Ghermandi and Sinclair 2019), the database includes additional relevant studies that were identified by snowballing previous references and adding further gray and scientific academic articles known to the authors. For studies to be included in our analysis, they had to involve the use of data from one or more social media platforms and investigate human interactions with and/or impacts on the environment. We relied on a broad definition of social media including any website or application that enables users to create and share content or to participate in social networking (e.g., blogging sites, recommendation sites, and online forums). We further strengthened the analysis by including insights from additional literature on social media that do not have a direct application to environmental sustainability (e.g., studies on biases in social media data). The final database consists of 415 studies, which were published between 2011 and 2021.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ghermandi, Andrea, and Michael Sinclair.

Evaluation of Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Stabilization of Cohesionless Sandy Soil for Transportation Infrastructure
<p>Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is generally used to stabilize cohesionless sandy soils that are often found in coastal areas. Due to its high carbon footprint, many studies are being conducted to identify a suitable green alternative for stabilizing cohesionless soils. Previous studies have shown that partially replacing OPC with waste materials such as nano-silica and coal waste reduces the overall carbon footprint without significantly impacting the performance. Geopolymer (GP) received a lot of attention in the past few decades owing to its similar properties to that of OPC yet with a lower carbon footprint. This study investigated the feasibility of stabilizing cohesionless sandy soils with metakaolin-based GP. Engineering and characterization tests such as shrinkage, strength, pH, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were performed to evaluate various characteristics of the stabilized mixes with different dosages of geopolymer and relate them to microstructural changes. Notably, GP-treated soils did not deteriorate during the durability tests, whereas the OPC-treated soil only retained about 75% of its strength. This is an indication that GP could be a better choice than OPC in coastal areas where cohesionless soils often experience heavy rainfall and flooding. Overall, an optimum dosage of GP improved both the mechanical properties and durability of cohesionless soils.</p>

Strengthening the global environmental assessment seascape in support of ocean sustainability
<p>Ambitious evidence-based policies are urgently needed to redirect mankind’s trajectory towards ocean sustainability. While global environmental assessments (GEAs) synthesizing ocean knowledge are multiplying, it is crucial to ensure that their processes and outputs are conducive to social legitimacy, scientific credibility, and are relevant to decision makers’ needs. Building upon institutional and scientific literature, we consolidate a list of best practices for GEAs to achieve legitimacy, credibility, and salience. We then develop a standardized framework to score the level of implementation of these best practices and to assess the coverage of ocean knowledge in GEAs. Lastly, we apply this framework to review 12 influential reports at the ocean science-policy interface. We found that credibility best practices are well implemented but that all GEAs, and in particular ocean-focused assessments, have significant opportunities to strengthen the implementation of legitimacy and salience best practices. We identify that increasing stakeholder engagement and broadening the diversity of knowledge represented is needed to improve the legitimacy of GEAs. Additionally, we found that GEAs could increase their salience by featuring more actionable knowledge for decision-makers, including futures thinking, multi-scale intervention options, and evaluation of progress towards international targets. Finally, we highlight four recommendations to strengthen the GEA seascape: elevating co-production practices, bridging scales through multi-level approaches, increasing transparency in knowledge choices and gaps, and coordinating assessment processes.</p>
