Prediction of thermal degradation of biopolymers in biomass under pyrolysis atmosphere by means of machine learning

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: Motivated by Finland's transition to circular economy and carbon neutrality, this study investigates the environmental aspects of resource productivity, environmental-related technologies, and export intensity using various statistical approaches and long-term estimators. The findings suggest that increasing raw material productivity can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while environmental-related technologies also play a significant role. However, economic growth measured by GDP has a negative impact on environmental sustainability in the long run. Relevant policy measures are recommended to guide decision makers in achieving circular economy and carbon zero goals in Finland.
