روش‌های ارزیابی اثرات صنایع فولاد بر محیط‌زیست در چارچوب (DPSIR)

چکیده مقاله :

فولاد به دلیل خواص منحصر به فردی که دارد، یک ماده حیاتی در صنایع مدرن است. در دنیایی که به طور گسترده، نگرانی‌های فزاینده افزایش مصرف منابع وجود دارد، لازم است از شیوه‌های مناسبی استفاده شود تا به پایداری محیط‌زیستی، رفاه اجتماعی و منافع اقتصادی بینجامد. یکی از این راهکارها، ارزیابی اثرات محیط‌زیست به روش چرخه حیات است که محاسبه تأثیرگذاری آن با استفاده از پایگاه عمومی داده‌ها، می‌تواند چالش برانگیز باشد. پژوهش حاضر، با روش مرور اسنادی و مطالعه کتابخانه‌ای به تجزیه و تحلیل جامع ارزیابی اثرات صنعت فولاد در قالب کاربرد تلفیقی ارزیابی چرخه عمر-امرژی و جاپای‌کربن (LCA-Emergy-Carbon Footprint) پرداخت و به منظور تحلیل عوامل مؤثر بر وضعیت محیط‌زیستی صنعت مزبور با تکیه بر زنجیره علّی و معلولی، در چارچوب مدل (DPSIR) به ارائه پاسخ‌های مرتبط از جمله تدوین دستورالعمل ارزیابی اثرات صنایع بر محیط‌زیست تأکید نمود. سپس آسیب‌ها و چالش‌های این صنعت را در ابعاد اجتماعی، اقتصادی و محیط‌زیستی مورد آنالیز قرار داد و برای بهبود مستمر بهره‌وری منابع، ارتقای کیفیت محیط‌زیست و کارایی عملیاتی، به بیان رویکردهای نوین پایداری در این صنعت پرداخت. این رویکردها شامل اقدامات اساسی بر محور انرژی‌های پاک، فناوری صرفه‌جویی انرژی، سیستم عملیات هوشمند، مدیریت محیط‌زیست، استراتژی طراحی و اجرای پروژه‌های کم‌کربن است.

چکیده انگلیسی :

Steel, due to its unique properties, is a vital material in modern industries. In a world, where there are growing concerns about increasing resource consumption, it is essential to adopt appropriate strategies that contribute to environmental sustainability, social welfare, and economic benefits. One of these strategies is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach; however, calculating environmental impacts using public databases can be challenging. This study, conducted through documentary review and library research, provides a comprehensive analysis of the environmental impacts of the steel industry using an integrated application of Life Cycle Assessment, Emergy, and Carbon Footprint (LCA–Emergy–Carbon Footprint). To identify and analyze the factors affecting the environmental performance of the steel industry, the study employs the Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) framework and emphasizes the development of guidelines for assessing industrial impacts on the environment. The research further analyzes the main damages and challenges of the steel industry across social, economic, and environmental dimensions. To promote continuous improvement in resource efficiency, environmental quality, and operational performance, it presents new sustainability approaches for this sector. These approaches include measures based on clean energy development, energy-saving technologies, intelligent operation systems, environmental management, and strategies for designing and implementing low-carbon projects.
