The co-benefits approach has been proposed as a means for mainstreaming environmental concerns into urban development, especially in developing countries. This paper reviews the Indian situation setting out the urban-environmental challenge. National policies related to urban development, climate change and specific sectors are examined and then, with the aid of cases, analysed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of generating co-benefits in the world's second most populous country.

A methodology for evaluating environmental co-benefits in the transport sector: application to the Delhi metro Doll, Christopher N. H.; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01) This paper presents a methodology to measure the environmental co-benefits of transport initiatives, defined here as carbon emissions in conjunction with local air pollution. An evaluation tool was developed and then tested on the case of the Delhi metro. The metro is an extensive rail project spanning the Indian capital, which is also the world's first rail based Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project. However, it has also been a flashpoint in urban policy-making in the city in recent years. This analys...
Sustainable textile production: a case study from a woven fabric manufacturing mill in Turkey Alkaya, Emrah; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-15) The aim of this research was to investigate the applicability of different sustainable production measures and demonstrate environmental and economical benefits in a woven fabric manufacturing mill in Bursa, Turkey. As a result of an Environmental Performance Evaluation (EPE) evaluation, five sustainable production applications were proposed and implemented to decrease water consumption, wastewater generation, energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and salt (NaCl) consumption in the company. As a resu...
Biohydrogen production from barley straw hydrolysate through sequential dark and photofermentation Ozgur, Ebru; Peksel, Begum (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01) Biohydrogen production by sequential operation of dark and photo-fermentation processes is a promising method to produce hydrogen from renewable resources, in a sustainable way. In this study, barley straw hydrolysate (BSEI) dark fermenter effluent (DFE) was used as the biomass feedstock for biohydrogen production through photofermentation. Two different dark fermentation effluents were obtained by performing fermentation with or without addition of yeast extract (YE), using hyperthermophilic dark fermentat...
Non-thermal production of pure hydrogen from biomass: HYVOLUTION Claassen, Pieternel A. M.; de Vrije, Truus; Koukios, Emmanuel; van Niel, Ed; Eroğlu, İnci; Modigell, Michael; Friedl, Anton; Wukovits, Walter; Ahrer, Werner (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) The objectives and methodology of the EU-funded research project HYVOLUTION devoted to hydrogen production from biomass are reviewed.
Life cycle and economic assessment of a solar panel array applied to a short route ferry Wang, Haibin; Oğuz, Elif; Jeong, Byongug; Zhou, Peilin (Elsevier BV, 2019-05-10) This paper was to investigate the potential benefits of solar panel systems if applied for obtaining propulsion power of a short route ferry operating in the Marmara Sea. The life cycle assessment was applied to evaluate the long-term environmental impact of the solar power systems on-board in replace of conventional diesel engine systems. The cost and benefit of such systems were evaluated through the economic assessment where the life cycle cost relative to installation, operation and recycling of the sol...
