The environmental benefits of small-scale timber frame dwellings for utilization of forested and rural remote areas in Greece

(Corresponding) Psilovikos T., (Corresponding) Stergiadou A., Moutsopoulos D.
Topic: 
Spatial environmental planning
Wood is the only renewable material produced by photosynthesis. Wood has the ability to preserve the stored carbon in its molecular structure as long as remain within a structure.

Energy recovery from urea in decentralised wastewater streams

Asiain-Mira R., Zamora P., Rogalla F., Monsalvo V., (Corresponding) Torrente-Murciano L.
Topic: 
Water, energy and/or food nexus
This work presents the design of a new process that enables energy recovery from wastewater, based on the selective adsorption of urea from urine and its subsequent decomposition into hydrogen. Removal of nitrogen compounds is at the core of wastewater treatment, as their uncontrolled discharge...Read more
