Topic:
Food waste
Food waste or leftovers generated by various raw or processed food materials that are not consumed but instead are usually disposed to waste landfills are regarded as a global issue which impacts human health and environmental sustainability. An enormous pressure in disposing of food wastes in...Read more
Improving aquaculture environmental footprint utilizing offshore renewable energy
(Corresponding) LILAS T., Antoniou E., Kotrikla A., Vatistas A., Dagkinis I.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The main environmental impacts of aquaculture include eutrophication, chemical pollution and harm to sensitive marine ecosystems. At the same time, the required energy leads to high emissions of greenhouse gases. Offshore wind turbines are a sector of renewable energy that grows rapidly. Offshore...Read more

Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The word demand for fish is increasing. Whilst on one hand, fishing is carried out in a not sustainable ways in the main fishing areas (e.g., overexploitation of natural stocks, remarkable fuel and energy consumption), on the other hand, acquaculture, above all when not performed inland, involves...Read more

Coffee ground biosorbent for nitrite and nitrate recovery and soil nutrient
Ying T., (Corresponding) Sethupathi S., Hon L.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2-) are two forms of nitrogen that contribute to the occurrence of eutrophication if found in excess concentrations. Conversely, nitrogen is one of the major macronutrients required for healthy plant growth. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the recovery of NO3-...Read more
