The analysis covers the footprint family of indicators that usually consists of ecological, carbon or more precisely greenhouse gas and water footprints and also sometimes the energy footprint. The other assessed footprints that are important for ecosystem health in regard to water, health, food, and land and species security are nitrogen, phosphorus, biodiversity and land footprints, which have already transgressed the planetary boundaries and are therefore outside the safe operating space. The importance of the various footprints is discussed and the simultaneous analysis of footprints is emphasised as a major direction of research and practice. The comprehensive set of environmental impacts, e.g. set of presented footprints in this contribution, should be considered and should incorporate the burdening and unburdening concept from the life cycle perspective. Some applications of the presented environmental footprints are offered, and conclusions and remarks provided for future observation.}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1618-9558}, pages = {2125-2141} } @article{MTMT:2799908, title = {The carbon footprint of a biogas power plant}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2799908}, author = {Szabó, György Emőd and Fazekas, István and Szabó, Szilárd and Szabó, Gergely and Buday, Tamás and Paládi, Mónika and Kisari, Krisztián and Kerényi, Attila}, doi = {10.30638/eemj.2014.322}, journal-iso = {ENVIRON ENG MANAG J}, journal = {ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT JOURNAL}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {2799908}, issn = {1582-9596}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1843-3707}, pages = {2867-2874}, orcid-numbers = {Fazekas, István/0000-0001-7973-9454; Szabó, Szilárd/0000-0002-2670-7384} } @article{MTMT:2199074, title = {A review of footprint analysis tools for monitoring impacts on sustainability}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2199074}, author = {Čuček, L and Klemeš, Jiri Jaromir and Kravanja, Z}, doi = {10.1016/j.jclepro.2012.02.036}, journal-iso = {J CLEAN PROD}, journal = {JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION}, volume = {34}, unique-id = {2199074}, issn = {0959-6526}, abstract = {This study presents an overview of footprints as defined indicators that can be used to measure sustainability. An overview of the definitions and units of measurement associated with environmental, social, and economic footprints is important because the definitions of footprints vary and are often expressed unclearly. Composite footprints combining two or more individual footprints are also assessed. These combinations produce multi-objective optimisation problems. Several tools for footprint(s)' evaluation are presented, including some of the numerous carbon footprint calculators, available calculators for other footprints, some ecological footprints-based, graph-based, and mathematical programming tools. A comprehensive overview is offered of footprint-based sustainability assessment. Copyright © 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Energy efficiency methods have been applied across sectors. Efficiency gains and energy use per manufactured unit have fallen, particularly in relation to the processing industry. Residential, work place, leisure, and service sectors still use large amounts of energy and produce large emissions of CO2 despite efficiency gains. Successful strategies used in the processing industry for integrating energy systems, namely Total Site targeting, have been applied to locally integrated energy sectors. The method shows that it can be successfully applied to integrate renewables into the energy source mix and consequently reduce the carbon footprint of these locally integrated energy sectors. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
