Sulphur Emission

AbstractTo reduce emissions in the maritime transport sector, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) follows a global clean shipping strategy. Among the different directives of IMO, currently especially the sulphur emission regulations pose challenges for the shipping industry. Related to this are the established Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) and the introduced global sulphur cap. To comply with the sulphur restrictions, according to the present technological state of the art, ship-owners have three options for their existing fleet: the installation of emission abatement technologies, the switch to low sulphur fuels, or retrofitting for the usage of alternative fuels. Regardless which option is favoured, most often selected solutions still depend on fossil fuels. The reasons for this can be traced back to the fact that supply of biofuels is not ensured in ports and generally seen as no profitable solution. This paper develops and examines an innovative business model with a special focus on liquefied biogas (LBG). The study bases on collected qualitative and quantitative data, which was used by applying the Business Model Canvas. The results will highlight that the business model bears the potential to promote LBG supply. Next to this, the research will show that blockchain and smart contracts are able to foster the implementation of the business model and optimisation of value chain operations. Lastly, economic advantages were highlighted within a case study that refers to the seaport Karlskrona in Sweden and the RoPax ferries from Stena Line that travel back and forth to Gdynia seaport in Poland.

A variety of measures are currently being taken on both the national and international levels in order to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. The promotion of electric mobility is one such measure for the transport sector. As a key component in a more environmentally-friendly, resource-saving, and efficient transport sector, electric mobility promises to create better sustainability. Several challenges still need to be met to exploit its full potential. This requires adapting the car technology, the value chain of vehicles, loads on the electricity network, the power generation for the drive, traffic, and charging infrastructure. The challenges to this endeavor are not only technical in nature, but they also include social acceptance, concerns, and economic, as well as ecological, aspects. This paper seeks to discuss and elucidate these problems, giving special focus to the issues of driving range, phenomenon of range anxiety, charging time, and complexity of the charging infrastructure in Germany. Finally, the development of social acceptance in Germany from 2011 to 2020 is investigated.

Using renewable energy is in line with the global strategy of sustainable development. The use of biofuels in transport contributes to increasing security of supply and reducing dependence of the transport sector on oil, reducing the share of greenhouse gas emissions from road transport and sustainable development of urban areas. The advantage of biodiesel in comparison to other alternative fuels can be seen in use in existing vehicles without or with minor modification of existing motors, depending on the concentration of biofuels in combination with fossil fuels. This paper discusses the possibilities of reducing the air pollution by using biodiesel, pollutants arising as a result of combustion of fuel in internal combustion engines, as well as the possibility of using waste cooking oil to produce biodiesel. The presented results show the reduction of air pollution using biodiesel as an alternative fuel, as well as the possibilities of solving the problem of wasting edible oil by using it for biodiesel production

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how online crowdfunding is strategically applied to artistic productions featuring strong social and cultural values, exploring potential and risks of networking value creation and community engagement. Mission-driven initiatives and their crowdfunding campaigns are analyzed through platform society framework (van Dijk, 2019), considering the business models and marketing strategies that support the scope and intentions of a variety of agents involved within the online networks. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative multiple case-study approach is adopted to sample and analyze in depth significant examples from the most representative crowdsponsoring platforms in Portugal. Agents’ perspectives and practices are collected through semi-structured interviews with campaign creators and platform managers, and complemented by the design of specific business model canvas (Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010) adapted to crowdfunding projects. Communication strategies and social media marketing are considered, metering agent’s profile and comparing performance and online engagement through profile and official pages observation. Findings Main findings point out that a crowdfunding campaign requires to set up a specific business model and marketing strategy articulation that go beyond the traditional cultural enterprises differentiation criteria, hybridizing them through experience-led marketing logic, extended product conceptualization and a critical cultural entrepreneurship approach. Community engagement operations need to be structured and integrated through online and offline social networks activities, and the value creation is build through shared meaning construction and interpretation between creators and backers, with the support of others agents involved within crowdfunding value network. It also states that the conceptualization of crowdfunding phenomenon as a service ecosystem (Quero and Ventura, 2019) could be extended, to comprehend other actors and power position within intermediation processes, namely, social network and social media platforms corporations, online payments services, online users, legacy media entities and others stakeholders as matchfunding organizations and partners for products’ development and distribution. Research limitations/implications The research design could be improved by adding more quantitative and social analytics data or an international cases comparison to complete these preliminary results. Practical implications The findings could assist arts and media managers as well as cultural agents to adapt their strategies to emergent business and marketing models, strongly influenced by dominant barging positions in the value chain held by new digital intermediaries, and to better explore product levels to strengthen interactions and engagement with communities of interest and supporters for the creation of value. Social implications This paper contributes to elaborate a more accurate scientific knowledge and critical perspective about crowfunding system evolution, concerning both individual and collective agencies, and their implication for different types of agents and networked individuals between institutions (Dutton, 2009). Originality/value This study is unique, as it adopts a multidisciplinary approach and a comprehensive analysis of Portuguese crowdsponsoring phenomenon, and it offers a valid contribution to the analysis of crowdfunding as value-creation network.

Short Sea Shipping

The shipping industry is looking for strategies to comply with increasingly stringent emission regulations. Fuel has a significant impact on emissions, so a switch to alternative fuels needs to be evaluated. This study investigated the emission performances of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) in shipping and compared them to conventional marine diesel oil (MDO) combined with selective catalytic reduction (SCR). For assessing the complete global warming potential of these fuels, the life-cycle approach was used. In addition, the study evaluated the local environmental impacts of combustion of these fuels, which is of particular importance for short sea shipping operations near coastal marine environment and residential areas. All three options examined are in compliance with the most stringent emission control area (ECA) regulations currently in force or entering into force from 2021. In terms of local environmental impacts, the two gaseous fuels had clear advantages over the MDO + SCR combination. However, the use of LNG as marine fuel achieved no significant CO2-equivalent reduction, thus making little progress towards the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) visions of decarbonizing shipping. Major life cycle GHG emission benefits were identified by replacing fossil fuels with LBG. The most significant challenge facing LBG today is fuel availability in volumes needed for shipping. Without taxation or subsidies, LBG may also find it difficult to compete with the prices of fossil fuels.

Abstract Top House is a small architecture firm located in South Tangerang that focuses on design consultants for low and medium-rise buildings. The preliminary study has been conducted by interviewing the firm’s owner who also acts as the principal architect, to identify company problems. The results showed that the company revenue and net profit decreased significantly by about 20% from 2017 to 2019 and 75% from 2016 to 2019. Moreover, the consultancy service orders became small and decreased from 2015-2019. The decreased revenue and net profit were caused by a poor company and incomprehensive management system. To solve the problem using the external and internal environmental analysis. The external environmental analysis used the PESTEL, Porter Five’s Forces, and competitor analysis. Meanwhile, the internal environmental analysis used the VRIO framework, value chain analysis, and existing Business Model Canvas (BMC). Afterward, the data were summarized in the SWOT table for strategy formulation. It consisted of IE matrix and TOWS matrix as company level strategy and functional level strategy, then the new proposed Business Model Canvas (BMC). Based on the analysis of IE Matrix, the current company classification position is in cluster five. This indicates that the company should implement a hold and maintain business strategy with two options, namely market penetration and product development. Furthermore, pros and cons analysis is used to obtain the best strategy from these options. The company should implement a product development strategy by improving the existing product quality, namely green architectural requirements in the design concept and utilizing BIM technology. The TOWS matrix resulted in 11 functional strategies applied in the marketing, human resources, operations, and financial field.

The shift from the existing linear model of the economy to a circular model is gaining traction across business entities, nationally and globally. Minimal studies have been done that would support the circular transition for a business from an existing linear model. There is a significant gap between the formulation and implementation of circular strategies in business. This literature review explores the preexisting concepts of the business model canvas (BMC) and Value Hill tool for the implementation of circular strategies in a business by determining a Good Point for Transition (GPT). The favorable condition, where a business can transition from a linear economy (LE) to a circular economy (CE) is defined as a GPT. This study suggests a three-step generic process that would provide a company with clarity on how to incorporate circular strategies into their structure. Firstly, this review paper defines and elaborates upon the business model canvas (BMC) based on the prior work of Osterwalder and Pigneur (2010) and Lewandowski (2016). Secondly, it analyzes the Value Hill diagram, a strategic tool for circular activities, that a business can use upon implementation of a circular model (Achterberg et al., 2016). Finally, this work will indicate how a circular strategy can be selected on the basis of assessment of the BMC and Value Hill diagram of a business. For a better understanding of the process, IKEA's initiatives for circular strategies are used in the study. The paper concludes with a three-step generic model for determining GPT and emphasizes that the adoption of circular strategies for companies depends upon the circular expertise and resources they and their value chain partners have across the Value Hill diagram.

Newspaper industry in fact is decreasing from 2006 until right now. Shifting behavior of their customer is becoming newspaper company problem to survive in this industry. Newspaper industry should shift their business into e-newspaper if they did not want to end up like music distributor industry. Even though, e-newspaper business model itself is not easy to be adapt. In fact, there are a lot of newspaper company who already failed to implement e-newspaper. Most of newspaper company treat e-newspaper only as their other distribution channel. It was the wrong concept if they want to develop e-newspaper and run it as the substitution of traditional newspaper. Revenue stream become the main concern in e-newspaper since it is difficult to create sustainable revenue stream. Result of the research is in order to create sustainable revenue stream, newspaper company should take a look at their resources and capabilities first. Value chain analysis is used to grab the potency of Pikiran Rakyat and make it as value proposition concerning e-newspaper in order to create revenue stream through e-newspaper. Last, business model canvas is used in order to map the proposed business model. In the end, e-newspaper Pikiran Rakyat has various revenue stream that could be used   Industri surat kabar mengalami penurunan sejak 2006 hingga saat ini. Perubahaan perilaku pelanggan merupakan masalah utama perusahaan surat kabar untuk dapat bertahan di industri ini. Industry surat kabar sendiri harus mampu memindahkan bisnis utama mereka dari surat kabar tradisional menjadi surat kabar elektronik jika mereka tidak ingin berakhri seperti industri distributor musik. Namun demikian, bisnis model surat kabar elektronik sendiri sulit untuk diadaptasi. Banyak perusahaan surat kabar yang telah gagal mengimpelemntasikan surat kabar elektronik. Kebanyakan perusahaan surat kabar hanya memperlakukan surat kabar elektronik sebagai salah satu saluran distribusi mereka saja. Hal tersebut merupakan konsep yang salah jika mereka menginginkan surat kabar elektronik untuk berkembang dan menggantikan surat kabar cetak. Revenue stream menjadi masalah utama di dalam surat kabar elektronik dikarenakan untuk mencetak revenue melalui surat kabar elektronik sangat berbeda dengan surat kabar cetak. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah, dalam rangka penciptaan revenue stream yang berkelanjutan, perusahaan surat kabar perlu untuk melihat sumber daya dan kapabilitas mereka terlebih dahulu. Analisis rantai nilai digunakan untuk dapat melihat potensi dari Pikiran Rakyat dan membuat hal tersebut menjadi value proposition di dalam bisnis model surat kabar elektronik yang kemudian bertujuan untuk menciptakan revenue stream. Business model canvas digunakan untuk memetakan bisnis model usulan. Pada akhirnya, Pikiran Rakyat memiliki beberapa pilihan revenue stream yang dapat digunakan pada bisnis model surat kabar elektronik mereka

Abstract Environmental pollution and depletion of resources from the combustion of fossil fuels have necessitated the need for biofuels in recent years. Oxygenated fuels such as low carbon alcohols have received significant attention from the scientific community in the last two decades as a strategy to decarbonize the transport sector. However, a documentation of the progress, paradigm, and trend of this research area on a global scale is currently limited. In the current study, the bibliometric analysis is adopted to analyze the global transition of automotive fuels from conventional oils to low carbon alcohols in the 21st century. A dataset of 2250 publications was extracted from the Web of Science Core database and analyzed with CiteSpace, Biblioshiny, and Bibexcel. Interest in methanol and ethanol combustion research as transportation fuels is increasing, with a 70% estimated growth by the end of the next decade compared to current levels. China, India, and USA have been the major players in the research field, with Tianjin University being the most influential institution. Research has primarily centered on the combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of ethanol fuel. Alternative fuels to compete actively with low carbon fuel in the near foreseeable future are green hydrogen and biodiesel. Advanced combustion technologies and artificial intelligence are sure to increase in this research area in the coming decades.

Indonesian economy through Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) is expected to absorb labor and contribute to the growth of Gross Domestic Product. However, SMEs lack both managerial and technical skills. This research is about business model innovation for SMEs especially in fashion and garment industry. Study used qualitative approach by mentoring four selected SMEs in Babakan Penghulu Village– Cinambo Sub-District, Eastern Bandung. The tools used to analyze them including PEST analysis, Porter’s Five Forces,Resource Based View, Value Chain Analysis and Business Model Canvas. Finding suggests SMEs to have business model innovation derived from value proposition. SMEs should build their own brand awareness. Moreover, as garment and fashion industry, design can be a particularly important part of the Value Proposition. SMEs could communicate its value propositions and inform their service through its official websites and other social media. Since the intangible resources include brand and design, thus SMEs should build brand image and innovate year by year. SMEs must hire designers and launch a series of new products offers under the signature of their own brands. Ideation to strengthen strategies derives from value proposition building block as a starting point. Moreover, Business Model Canvas makes strategy more focused and measurable. Business model innovation is expected to increase overall performance of SMEs.
