- No hyphen in "environmentally friendly".

- Replace "close" with "near" (much more idiomatic).

Try taking "additionally" out and see how it stands then: a well-accepted and an environmentally friendly solution". Is that one solution or two? Commented Jan 6, 2020 at 23:09

I'd just remove additionally and rephrase the sentence as
Despite these drawbacks, this may be a well-accepted, environment-friendly solution in the close future.
But if you want to stick to the word additional, which I'd deem redundant, then I'd rephrase the sentence as
Despite these drawbacks, this may be a well-accepted and additionally, an environment-friendly solution in the close future.
